Technical Wiring Documents & ECU Pinouts

Honda ECU pinouts, chassis connector diagrams, and manufacturer references for planning, installation, and troubleshooting.

Pinouts & reference library

Choose the reference that matches your hardware. The links below include diagrams, manuals, and manufacturer resource pages.

Identify your ECU and chassis connections

Use these references to plan a harness build, ECU conversion, or standalone installation. Identify the chassis, engine, ECU model, transmission, and connector layout before selecting wiring. An engine swap may combine parts from several generations.

OBD2 connector reference

These common US-market manual-transmission applications are a starting point for identifying ECU connectors, not a guarantee that a harness fits every trim or swapped vehicle.

Common Honda and Acura OBD2 ECU connector applications
Vehicle OBD2A OBD2B
Honda Civic 1996–1998 1999–2000
Acura Integra 1996–1999 2000–2001
Honda Accord, 4-cylinder 1996–1997 1998–2002
Honda Prelude 1996–2001 Verify the specific ECU and connector configuration

Reference: HA Motorsports' OBD2A application guide and OBD2B application guide. Automatic-transmission and imported applications require separate verification.

Earlier chassis and conversions: Do not assume that an older chassis already has the OBD1 wiring needed for a P28 or Hondata installation. Confirm the existing ECU plugs, distributor, injector connections, and any conversion harness before using an OBD1 pinout.

Harness and ECU integration

The chassis wiring, engine-side loom, and ECU connection must work together. A matching plug alone does not confirm that the pin assignments or supported circuits match your build.

  • Honda OBD1 / Hondata S300: Match the ECU and engine loom to the chassis integration required for your vehicle.
  • Link and other standalone ECUs: Use the documentation for the exact ECU model, then confirm trigger, ignition, injector, and sensor requirements.
  • Sensor wiring: Check the sensor pinout, supply voltage, grounding requirements, and ECU calibration against the manufacturer's documentation.

Distributor and ignition wiring

Distributor, coil-on-plug, and external trigger configurations use different connections. Match the diagram to the actual hardware and connector view; do not select a pinout from engine family alone.

Grounding and power distribution

Plan the battery ground, engine ground, starter, alternator, and fuse-box connections as part of the system. Use ECU-specific documentation for sensor grounds and power supplies, and confirm the cable routing and circuit protection for your installation.

Find the wiring for your build

Use the product details to confirm fitment, connector options, included components, and lead times.
