cntrylvr79 Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 So I get a couple pms a week asking me what I mean when I post up the wiring info for a car. So rather than have to explain myself each time I thought I'd make this post which will hopefully explain what it is when either myself or one of the other people on the forum replies with an answer for wire codes. We'll take the following as an example. The wiring for a 2003 Mitsu Galant Reverse Light red/blue + pin 9, 43 pin plug in DKP Speed Sense yellow/black data link conn., R of column the first thing is obviously what the wire is, reverse signal and speed signal. The Second is the color. This is where some people get confused. The first color list is the color of the majority of the wire. The second color is the color of the stripe on the wire. Not all will have a stripe. So in the case of the reverse light it's a red wire with a blue stripe on it. And the speed sense will be yellow with a black stripe. The final item is the location. Most of the time I try and write out the abbreviations, but sometimes I forget. So I'll list here the abbreviations I can think of and if anyone comes up with some I missed let me know I'll add them DKP = Driver's kick panel (generally behind the area by your left foot if you were sitting in the driver's seat) PKP = Passenger's kick panel ( same as above but right foot sitting in the passenger's seat. DLC = data link connector aka diagnostics plug aka obd2 plug GEM = Generic Electronics module. The computer in fords that controls convience items like door locks and such BCM = Body Control Module ECM = Engine Control Module ECU = Engine Control Unit ETACS ECU = Electronic Timing and Control System PCM = Powertrain control Module Harness to rear = Lift up the carpet on whichever side of the car it says, and you should seee a large bundle of wires that looks to run from the front of the car to the back. that's all for now. Also if you're looking for wiring info, type in the model, make, and the words "merry xmas" the majority of my posts with wiring info will have those 2 words at the end to help locate. All in all have fun and happy installing. Josh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

felixgun Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Hey guys, I have an 01 Chevy Tahoe and just installed the avic-d2. Just wondering what color the parking brake wire is in the back and what color the cell mute is? And what do i ground it to? Thanks for the help Felix Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 The parking brake wire is green. The cell mute wire is yellow/black. You have to move the cell mute wire to the empty slot in the harness first. Then hook both of them to the black wire in the harness. In the future please create a new topic for your questions.

cntrylvr79 Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 For yalls sake just post the info for directechs... Umm I do, and audiovox and a couple others that I have access to. This thread was intended to help people who don't understand what the information means when it says things like driver's kick, etc. Remember installers think completely different than regular people do. We're speacial Yes I know I spelled it wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuns Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 How about a vss and reverse for 07 HHR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 How about posting the request in the right forum. As far as your info goes, vss you'r only getting at a wheel speed sensor or if you get the lanbus interface. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
