Datalogging via A/C pressure sensor question
Forewarning - I'm not an electrical genius. But which end of the connection do i want to hook in my wideband to?
I tapped the orange / black wire called "A/C refrigerant pressure sensor signal". The other two options were low reference and 5 volt reference.

I would have bought a $350 innovate dual wb and plugged in the sensors before the cat, then used the 1v outputs for the ecu.
I see you are tryin to use the ac pressure switch pid as the wb. Its gonna make your fans go crazy, Check the three lines, one will give you 5v on multimeter when black is on ground, the other should give you a ground, the last one is your input for the pid...

This is what tuners used to do before the tuning software had user defined inputs available.
It'll work, but it's outdated and you don't have access to a lot of options.
Kind of like missionary but for tuning.

When black is on ground? I don't even have a black wire?! Technically speaking there is no ground wire either. I guess he means the tan wire which is technically a low reference wire, but sort of like a ground for the ECU?
I don't like guessing on making connections to the PCM. That could be bad. I'm not disputing the wire which does the function i want, just which end - the female end or the male end in my first post pic?

From the pic it looks like the female goes to the sensor and the male goes to the ecm. If that is true, plug into the ECM side/male. You need the ECM to report the delivered signal back to HP Tuners through the OBD/CAN ports.
BTW - the "black wire" on the multimeter on the "ground" or low reference (this is the signal ground for the ecm). He is telling you how to check the voltage across the three wires and determine where to hook things up. I would advise doing this as well. I have an alldata subscription and have seen differences between the documentation and the implementation (few and far between but there). As you mentioned you don't want to make a mistake on a wire feeding the ECM.

I'll get out the multimeter to dbl check here.
