    Default P08 Pinout

    Anyone have a pinout to make a bench harness for a 99-02 Cavalier with P08?

    Thanks

    Pretty sure it is the same as the LS1B.

    No it is different. Even has way less terminal pins. I have tried LS1B, V6 Buick, Northstar pinouts as they are all different too.

    Yes it has less pins but the important ones are in the same spot.
    The LS1B bench harness I have runs all those PCM's you've listed there, V6-P04, Northstar-P06, they are all the same pinout for bench connections (and of course E54 - LB7).
    I just put a P08 on my LS1B bench harness and it works fine.

    Blue 60 = Ground
    Blue 20 = 12V Unswitched (Batt)
    Blue 19 = 12V Switched
    Blue 58 = VPW Serial Data

    Interesting... I will try again and count the pins on the LS1B Connector instead of the ecm.

    Oddly if I connect a V6 Buick to my LS1B harness it will blow fuses immediately. (Using a older Kent Moore bench harness)
    Connecting to this Cavalier one and it back feeds power to the key on circuit.

    EFI Connection sells a seperate harness for all these for this reason

    My harness had to many wires. I simplified it down and works. You was right as normal... Thanks for the help.

    Yeah that's the trick, those four wires I mentioned are common for all those PCM's that look like that.

    Probably a project that should never have happened to be honest, horrible PCM that one.

    I never had the calls for them till recently. Local dirt tracks now have a class for these front wheel drive cars and becoming very popular.
