| 1 | 1 | Adam Klama | Here is the guide for connecting the PT\_CAN, PT\_CAN2, power, fan control, and accelerator pedal signals to the Gateway device and ECU. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | The main connections needed for this modifications are: **A46\*1B**, **X13\*1B**, and **Z8\*3B** connectors. |
||
| 3 | This guide is based on N20/N26 engine and DME. Connections for B46/B48 and B58 may be different. |
||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | ### PT\_CAN to Gateway Device: |
||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | - **PT\_CAN\_H**: |
||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | - **Pin 28 on A46\*1B (Blue/Red wire)** should be connected to **CAN1H (Pin 10 on your Gateway device)**. |
||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | - **PT\_CAN\_L**: |
||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | - **Pin 13 on A46\*1B (Red wire)** should be connected to **CAN1L (Pin 23 on your Gateway device)**. |
||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | ### PT\_CAN2 to Gateway Device: |
||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | - **PT\_CAN2H**: |
||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | - **Pin 43 on A46\*1B (White/Yellow wire)** should be connected to **CAN2H (Pin 11 on your Gateway device)**. |
||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | - **PT\_CAN2L**: |
||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | - **Pin 44 on A46\*1B (White/Blue wire)** should be connected to **CAN2L (Pin 24 on your Gateway device)**. |
||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | ### Power and Ignition Connections to Gateway Device: |
||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | - **KL30 (Battery Power Supply)**: |
||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | - **Pin 1 on A46\*1B** should be connected to **KL30 IN (Pin 1 on your Gateway device)**. |
||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | - **KL15 (Ignition Supply)**: |
||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | - **Pin 22 on A46\*1B** should be connected to **KL15IN (Pin 15 on your Gateway device)**. |
||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | ### Fan Control Connections: |
||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | - **Fan Cut-Out Relay**: |
||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | - **Pin 4 on A46\*1B** is used for the fan cut-out relay and should be controlled by the **ECU**. |
||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | - **Fan PWM Signal**: |
||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | - **Pin 18 on A46\*1B** is the fan PWM signal and should also be controlled by the **ECU**. |
||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | ### Accelerator Pedal Connections: |
||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | - The **accelerator pedal** should be connected to the **ECU** or to the **analog inputs on the Gateway device** in case you want to send throttle position over the CAN bus. |
||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | - **5V Supply for Accelerator Pedal**: |
||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | - **Pins 7 and 24 on A46\*1B** provide the 5V supply for the accelerator pedal. |
||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | - **Ground for Accelerator Pedal**: |
||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | - **Pins 11 and 27 on A46\*1B** are the ground connections for the accelerator pedal. |
||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | - **Signals for Accelerator Pedal**: |
||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | - **Pins 16 and 21 on A46\*1B** are used for the two signal outputs from the accelerator pedal. |
||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | ### X13\*1B Connector Connections: |
||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | - **Pin 1 and Pin 11**: |
||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | - These pins control the **AC compressor** on the engine. Both components are controlled by the **FEM** (Front Electronic Module), and it is recommended to use the original BMW AC compressor. |
||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | - **Pin 9**: |
||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | - This pin controls the **starter**. It is capable of driving a **2JZ starter** and is also controlled by the **FEM**. |
||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | ### Z8\*3B Connector Connection:  |
||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | - **KL31 (Ground)**: |
||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | - **Pin 3 on Z8\*3B** should be used as **KL31** for the Gateway device. |
||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | - **KL15 (Ignition Supply for ECU)**: |
||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | - **Pin 1 on Z8\*3B** should be used to control the main relay for the standalone ECU. |
||
| 80 | |||
| 81 | ### Notes: |
||
| 82 | |||
| 83 | - Ensure that all connections are securely made and wires are properly insulated. |
||
| 84 | - For CAN signals, use twisted pairs to minimize electromagnetic interference, ensuring the integrity of communication between the vehicle and the Gateway device. |
||
| 85 | - Double-check all connections to prevent any miswiring that could damage components or cause malfunction. |
