I just installed a Traqmate system in my car. It allows me to have various inputs from the cars mechanicals, so I need help with where to tap in for these inputs.

Where is the easiest place to tap into to get a tach signal? Brake pedal, and throttle position are a couple more. Steering angle?

Thanks!

Hi Jody,

In lieu of previous experience, I would check the circuit diagrams and see where all of the signals go into the PCM. You should be able to find a spot to tap in if you follow the wiring.

I have a ecu pinout sheet somewhere. I made one so I didn't have to remember all the pins. Now I just have to find it

i can see it now, in a couple hours there will be a new thread:

"Hey guys, just drilled a small hole into my PCM, it dont work too well anymore"

Falcon

That's be sad if it wasn't so true!

Keep Jody away from any DRILLS . .

Jody,
If you need something call......I will fax you what ever wiring diagrams that you need..

Falcon

Thanks guys.

BTW, I have these decals all around my car:

Jody,
Did you get it figured out??? I can look in my books and figure it out again. I have been looking all over the place for my cheat sheet.

Thanks Randy, but I think that link that was posted in this thread will get me what I need. I won't mess with it til this weekend.

i use the cable that goes to the distributor the one like a speedometer..oh wait that my '67

Wally, i think you might need a few of these as well

For some of us looking at circuit diagrams is like a dog watching TV..... I figure if he just drills into the top of the PCM he has a good chance of it working....

Falcon - will it have real time readouts in the car?

Falcon

Yep, that's exactly what it's like when I have a wiring diagram in my hand, a dog watching the TV or a cat with library card.

On the in car display you can make about anything show up. But that's not what you necessarily want. It logs data for later analysis, It records segment times, G's, and pretty much anything else that would be pertinent. It can accept 5 other inputs (2 digital and 2 analog). those could be RPM, Oil Pressure, Throttle position, Brake position, Steering angle, etc.

The best feature is the predictive lap. It compares your current lap to the best lap you've had that point and displays that both numerically and graphically. That would be invaluable in qualifying or time trials.

Randy, if you get a chance sometime, I'd appreciate the ECU/PCM printout, that'd allow me to get some signals other than tach.

Jeffro, here is the virtual dashboard of a partial lap. The data logger has recorded all the information and the video program synchs right up with the data. I had no inputs into the logger, what you see is only what it gets from GPS and accelerometers. If I had had the tack signal connected it would have displayed that along with anything else it captured.

The brake signal on the virtual dash uses any negative deceleration as braking. If I lift or feather the throttle any, the red light comes on.

Giddy Up!

Great Video Jody.

Your "Compare video" is fantastic
