Adamw Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Ok, I had a quick look. Assuming you have 2 times E-throttles? Im not sure if you have any of the below connected to the C & D plugs but I will mention them anyway: You will need 2 extra aux outputs assigned as E-throttle relay 1 & 2. Your 4 TPS sensors will need 5V and gnds. You will need a gnd out to the AP sensor. Fuel pressure needs a gnd out. Oil pressure needs a 5V and a gnd out. You've got no aux assigned as Fan.

Plug D Pin #1 will have power from the front Power Distribution Module for Aux 17 & Aux 18 APPS is grounded @ Plug D Pin #5 Oil Pressure is powered from Plug A Pin #32 +5V and grounded @ Plug B Pin #22 My fans, 4 of them are controlled by dedicated controllers i didn't omit pin outs for plugs C&D, I've only just finished them. I'm most concerned about getting the E-throttle/pedal correct and I keep reading. thanks heaps Adam. Link Plug C.pdf Link Plug D.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike928 Posted September 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Is there a method, tools or a description of the assembly and disassembly of the AMP loom plugs, A, B, C &D? I'm quite familiar with Deutsch type plugs but these are quite different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 You need to push the white lock tab in on the side of the connector, it should click in about 2-3mm. You can then insert or extract the terminals fairly easily. If they dont go in easily then your wire is too thick or crimp tool is not suitable. The crimp on the insulation tabs should be round - not a B type crimp. Here is an old video I had on my phone showing how the terminals insert/remove: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MnJlNTBhX_ccv40PbVgIi9XTy4HbXEfJ/view?usp=sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike928 Posted September 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 I'm not getting your file Adam. It downloads as IMG_2393.MOV and previews as finger and thumb holding the plug but fails to do anything else. I had a look at plugs B & C to see the structure and I want to remove 10 of the wires from plugs A & B that I wont be using and put them in C or D. I've got the role of the white lock bit and can see that it frees the pins but when I try to open up plug A, the pins don't want to come away from the white bit. I've slid the large black bit back down the loom a bit, to give me room to work and some wires/pins will move as if they want to come out but others are pulling on the whit lock piece and I don't want to bust anything.

Mike928 Posted September 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 I found this video on youtube, 'very basic' instruction but clear. It seems I've gone way too far into the plug and I didn't need to separate the halves. 2 minutes ago, 928sg said: about 2 minutes and 25 seconds into this video Thank Sterling, you found the exact same one, well done.

Mike928 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 I've been finalizing my E-throttle setup and I'm about to wire it up. There have been a few changes to correct some stuff, so I'd be very grateful if this attached drawing could be checked, I really need to get this right. Also, the cruise control switch on the bottom left of the drawing, is the stock Porsche one and is part of the column stork but the factory wiring diagram show all but the power feed wires just going into the control module. Is there any way to work out what I should hook to my Thunder EU and where? Link E-throttle layout.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't looked for 82mm but the supplier [efi solutions] of my 74mm bodies supplied the pinout for them. Interestingly, I have 2 Mercedes/Bosch bodies, 74mm that are close to identical to the new ones I bought but the pinout seems different, in that when I power plate, it works backwards!

Adamw Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Pins B5 and D1 are the DBW supplies, ideally they would come from their own relay/PDM output that the ECU can shut off in the event of a safety concern. See the diagram in the help file page: Wiring Information > Output Wiring > E-Throttle > Generic Internal E-Throttle Wiring for more info. For the cruise switch, do you have a "schematic" type diagram of it? How many buttons/switches does it have and how many wires? 2 hours ago, Gsab said: Mike, did you ever find PID settings for the 82mm Bosch t/b ? The VDO settings in the help file usually work ok with most Bosch throttles. Gsab 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or can one relay feed thhe both? 10 amp should cover them should it not? The cruise switch schematic is as I've drawn it. I copied it from the factory diagram. It has 4 wires black one is from the ignition and the other 3 go to the control module. Control module wires go to constant 12v, speedo, earth and bulb check unit and 2 to the actuator, which is vacuum controlled on this model and aren't very good. The column stalk has 3 operation positions; forward = set/accelerate, down = resume, backward = cancel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are rated at max 4.4A continuous each, so 10A should do it. 9 hours ago, Mike928 said: The cruise switch schematic is as I've drawn it. I copied it from the factory diagram.

If I were to hazard a guess I would say it is 1 common wire and 3 switch outputs, so you would connect the common to either ground or +12V (either is fine) and the other 3 to digital inputs.

I've run a fresh supply for the E-throttles as the PDM has few outputs over 7.5 amp. Also the schematic for the cruise switch.

Adamw Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Ok, all looks fine to me. For the cruise switch; Black can be gnd or 12V. Yellow is Set DI. Brown/Blk is Cancel or On DI (Link needs On sw as a minimum, but doesnt need cancel). Blue is Repeat/Resume DI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will actually power the SSR from the PDM on a 7.5 amp point with a 10 amp wire and loop the next door 7.5 amp in to feed it 15 amps. There are plenty of 7.5 amp points. On the cruise, does 'yellow is set DI' mean connect it to a digital input? Thus another DI for each of the others? So Link just cancels via brake input?

Basically in your car the "ON" switch and the "Cancel" switch are the same thing (backwards on the stalk). Some cars have seperate On and cancel switches - so you can cancel and resume without having to set the speed every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please have a look at the attached page from the owner's manual. It shows 3 separate positions. Currently, I only have An Volt 9 on B24 [white/green] assigned to cruise function and Aux 8 on A26 [orange/purple] assigned to cruise light. I'm guessing [scary] that I need more? The wiring is progressing, see photo and thanks heaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike928 Posted October 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I have assigned DI 6 to cruise on, DI 7 to cruise off and DI 8 to cruise resume?? My next dilemma is the Bosch LSU 4.9 O2 sensors. In my Link G4+ Thunder Gick Start Guide it lists the following; MES sensor green pin 5 RE sensor black pin 6 Heater sensor white pin 3 IPE sensor yellow pin 2 APE sensor red pin 1 ie no pin 4 grey? On my actual O2 sensor Bosch part #0 258 017 025, I have no green wire to pin 5? the plug blanks out this pin? but I downloaded the spec sheet from Bosch for this exact part # and it lists all 6 wires. Any advice would gratefully received. Bosch AA Sensors.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Note from the help file below. Pin 4 is the +12V power supply, it needs to come from an ignition switched source. Pin 5 is the calibration resistor (inside the connector), it needs to be connected to the Thunder MES pin. The "green" is a bit misleading - there is no wire on the sensor side of the connector. Green is just Bosch's convention for that pin back to the controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does the Thunder ECU get the MES signal when my LSU 4.9 O2 sensor has no pin 5 wire? Bosch have that hole in the plug blanked off!

Oh, finally I think I get it!!! Even though there is no green wire on the Bosch plug to the O2 unit, I must never-the-less still run a green wire from the loom plug back to the ECU. This will then connect to the resistor in the plug. The grey wire, I run to 12 volt ignition power source. Thanks for your patience Adam! For the life I couldn't see why one would connect a wire to an empty pin socket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike928 Posted November 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 ok, only one last issue to resolve and I'm all wired up, engine at least. I set the Thunder software to be DI 6, cruise on. DI 7, cruise cancel/off. DI 8 cruise resume. I then went to the cruise stalk with my multi-meter to see which wires did what and here's what I found; Black was 12v input, so I planned for it to be earthed, so Link can switch low. So working from this point I checked for continuity with the other 3 wires. In the rest state, Black and Brown are 'common' or connected, this becomes open circuit when the lever is moved to 'Cancel'. Connection is made with Blue when the lever is moved to 'Reset'. Connection is made with Yellow when the lever is moved to 'Set/Accel. My question is, Can I use this cruise stalk with my Link Thunder? if so how should it be wired? Maybe, Black=Ground, Blue=Reset/Resume, Yellow=Set/Accelerate and forget Brown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
