Speed Sensor for Cosworth Escort

[Jacky Fung]

Dear All,

I have a question about setting and pinout of a extra speed sensor for Cosworth Escort

There are three cable, as I understand as other sensor. 

Voltage Input / Ground / Signal. 

For voltage input. I found it is 12V, but some told 5V, some told 12V. or 5V / 12V either?

For the signal, i need to put in Digital Input (DI), am I right? and what is the setting of it?

Attached w/ the sensor that I installed.

Thanks for your kindly help!!

Is this for wheel speed or crank position?

picture shows crankshaft speed and use of 12v, obviously. 

I only ask as i find myself re-purposing sensors for non intended tasks a lot.

From experience GM reference sensors work on 12v, Cherry sensors are 12v, Hyundai sensors are 12v, but many will work with regulated 8v.  Basically need to reference the documentation for the specific sensor which you have posted here.

Thx Brad,

Since the picture provided by client. I did install on top of the original speed sensor to provide speed signal to Link ECU. But this pic is the only thing he know.... so I post here and hope someone can figure out the spec. 

Let me ask for more details from him.

Thanks for your kindly help!

Status Update.

Finally I connect a 5V signal and ground to sensor. Then put the signal to DI 2 And the ECU got speed signal correctly!

Thanks for supporting.
