Question Rewiring a DBW harness..

NE1 found a way to rewire a truck TAC and foot pedal to work with the Vette throttle body??
I am looking to use an 05 truck pedal/TAC with an 03 Vette t/b. [The Vette TAC modules have been discontinued by GM.]

Any help is appreciated!

I can get you some schematics to compare with. I don't know if use the same resistances in the pedals. You should check the values before considering this.

Thanks! We have the schematics, and are looking at the values....We have done scans on the resistors and looked at their hi/lo wiring positions. Nothing concluded as to what we may/may not change to get this to work....
We are now looking at the other input[s] to the pcm, that may be needed for it to work..


More later.........

You could always use a truck TB right?

Default vette tb

Im using an 04 truck pedal to control a 05 vette ls2 using a tac box from speartech, but the guy that set it up on the dyno had to do some programming to make it work, hope this helps.

We've scanned all the resistances and have made a chart of such.
The LS2 t/b is next on the schedule..Seems some Vette guys are making that swap.
