    Question TD5 crank angle sensor wiring

    On the automatic transmissions way down it managed to pull on the wiring loom (ok, so I actually forgot to disconnect the crank angle sensor electrical plug or cut the cable tie for the oil pressure sensor wire).

    I've got replacement plugs with wires sticking out so that I can repair the loom (thanks to Justin Cooper for the crank angle sensor electrical plug and letting me know that the oil pressure sensor plug is just an EFI injector plug which I already had spare Falcon ones of).

    My problem now is I'm not sure which wire goes on which side of the crank angle sensor plug:


    Crank angle sensor with new electrical plug fitted.

    There are two wires - pink with black stripe and white with blue stripe:





    The oil pressure sensor is not a problem as it's actually only got one pin (thanks again to Justin for pointing this out), and that's the side the white wire connects to, the black just runs back along the loom for a bit and then ends:





    So any ideas as to which goes on which side? Green to white/blue and black to pink/black or the other way around?

    1) Dig out your copy of RAVE.

    2) Look up the circuit in the wiring diagram and make a note of the connector number.

    C1068 in this case.

    3) Open up the electrical library pdf which can be found on the cd at:
    RAVE -> pdf -> lt -> ellt030e.pdf

    Look up the connector view for connector number.

    and you have your answer.

    cheers

    PS: This is on pg 1.9 of the Electrical Library pdf.

    Connector Details
    This section is effectively an index of every electrical connector on the vehicle, including headers and eyelets. A page is dedicated to each connector, with the information presented in a standard format. The connector number is displayed on each page header to ease reference. Connector information comprises:
    • Connector Number - The assigned number, prefixed "C".
    • Connector Name - Usually derived from the component to which the
    connection is made.
    • Male/Female - If applicable, identifies the gender of the connector pins
    (NOT the housing) as Male or Female. Generally, connectors mating
    directly to a component have Female pins.
    • Colour - If applicable, the colour of the connector housing is shown.
    NATURAL is used to describe connectors with a clear/translucent plastic
    finish.
    • Location Statement - Used in conjunction with the photograph to
    determine the location of the connector.
    • Photograph - Shows the location of the subject connector. In most cases,
    the photograph will indicate the amount of trim removal necessary to reveal the connector. For convenience some photographs identify more than one connector.
    • Face View - An outline of the connector housing, viewed from the front, showing pin numbers (if applicable).

    Thank you Paul. Rave has a lot more information in it than what I realised!
