The ECU is the very heart of your engine management system. Almost everything under the bonnet, and a lot of the stuff inside the car, connects to it in some way.

When things start going wrong, it's essential to check that signals are getting to or coming from the ECU, and that means testing the wiring. To help you identify what goes where, here are the pinouts for each generation of E30 ECU.

Jetronic

Jetronic's primitive management system only controlled fuelling, so the ECU is little more than an injection control unit. The control model uses a 25-pin plug, with Pin 1 at the cable end.

Motronic 1.0

The Motronic 1.0 ECU employs a 35-pin plug to connect to all the engine bay components.

Motronic 1.1

Motronic 1.1 uses a much chunkier plug, fitting 55 pins into three rows. Unlike Jetronic and Motronic 1.0, pin 1 is now at the end furthest from the cable.
