Hi totally new to this forum but I've been lurking around when I needed some info (and the info on here is really amazing - thank you!) So, car is a mk3 16v. Bought (second hand) in Japan, driven in Japan, mothballed in Japan. It needed so many fixes that I had to take it off the road. Finally getting back to starting it up again. The problem: The speed sensor (G28) broke almost as soon as I bought the car. Knowing nothing about cars back then, I took it to the local garage who couldn't fix it (subaru only) so he sent it to the local VW dealer. They said it was impossible to get a new speed sensor and so they made a temporary fix (which was electrical tape and soldering). It failed a couple of months later. Now I managed to get a new speed sensor from the UK, fitted it but I don't know which wires go to which pin.. white, black, white/blue which one goes to 1, 2 ,3 on the sensor plug? pic Can anyone offer some advice? Is there any way to test this with a multimeter? Thanks in advance!
Have a look at member 'RubJonny' links in his signature, he has wiring diagrams on Google drive. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_V9-6xfgGlINzhhM2IyNmItOWRhZS00MzBkLTk2MTEtNGIyZDFmMDg0NWM2 I've had a quick look and can't find the correct diagram. Did a search and found this, sorry it does not have the correct colours! http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a434/thegtiman/ABFHallCKPSpinoutforMS1_2ver3PCB.jpg
Should be able to use a multimeter to work out which is live which is earth and the remainder would be pulse. I've always known pulse to be the middle pin.
As I started all the ABF this and that on here, I thought it was fitting to have the ABF current flow diagram is on this forum. It is found >>here<< Picture repair to follow shortly.
Wow, wonderful thanks GVK, Spacecowboy, Toyotec for the rapid replies and info! Just to clarify, and I've got to ask the question, the numbers 1 2 3 are in a different order on the wiring diagram (3, 1 ,2) - does that mean that the Hall supply is ALWAYS no 1 or ALWAYS the middle pin? Also, I just tested the wires with a multimeter and got two wires reading 10v. How can I tell the difference?
Does anyone know if this pinout is suitable for mk4 16v? I recently bought a golf mk4 but have never owned a German car before. I mainly used cars of Japanese origin. At the moment I use this car https://www.jdmbuysell.com/product/nissan-skyline-gtr-r33-n-8356/ as my main one and to be honest, these two cars are very different. I bought a golf for my wife as she needs a small, economical and fast car for the city, so I thought it would be a great choice. Since we bought a used car, it is obvious that it has some problems. I fixed all the body related issues, but I had problems with the electronics. I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance!
