Title: A6 4.2 ECU pin for MIL Post by: a4erik on November 07, 2017, 01:56:26 PM Hey all, I am finishing a 4.2 motor swap and I cannot for the life of me figure out which pin on the ECU controls the MIL/CEL on the dash.
The whole car has been gutted and rewired. I have the pin on the dash side, need to get the pin on the ECU. The lamp control is not detailed on the wiring diagrams I have found and I'm stuck. ECU is a ME7.1.1 box (4D0907560CE) running the euro S6 559E flash. Help, please! Thanks! (FYI ME7.1 a6 4.2 uses pin 48. On ME7.1.1 that pin is allocated to another device) Title: Re: A6 4.2 ECU pin for MIL Post by: macxxx on November 08, 2017, 12:58:24 AM I think in these ecus it goes thru can , no wiring
in ME7 it is located on pin 47 , maybe it will work Title: Re: A6 4.2 ECU pin for MIL Post by: a4erik on April 06, 2018, 01:32:58 PM So after a LOT of testing and searching, I found the answer to my question .... posting so someone else doesn't have to do all this searching too. :)
The A6 cluster from 98-99 is non-CAN. 00+ is CAN for the CEL on the cluster. (source: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a6-s6-c5-platform-discussion-7/understanding-differences-between-audi-a6-clusters-compatibility-issues-2798354/) My 01 S4 cluster is non-CAN, but the S6 ECU I'm running sends the CEL over CAN. What I'm going to have to do is use an 00+ A6 cluster and connect the CAN bus together. This should get me the MIL I'm looking for so I can pass our local emissions and get this race car legally on the road. :D Title: Re: A6 4.2 ECU pin for MIL Post by: macxxx on April 06, 2018, 01:37:07 PM Your s4 cluster should have can ( 8d0920xxx) , try to change adaptation of channel 60 to 1025 this should setup can communation with ecu
