So, does anyone have any idea how to get this done? In order for those voltages to hold true with the resistances I measured at the sensor, the ECU supplies 8.25v with a 650 Ohm resistor in line (guessing so if it shorts it doesn't fry the ECU). Am I wrong in my calculations? I figured if...

I figured if I installed a 12K Ohm resistor in parallel, it'll provide these resistances: 1st = 535 Ohms 2nd = 768 Ohms 3rd = 1.33K Ohms 4th = 2.22K Ohms 5th = 4.34K Ohms 6th = 6.66K Ohms I know that will fool the ECU into thinking it's in 5th when it's in 6th, but it looks like 5th...

Okay, I finally got around to testing, and here's what I found: It has three wires, Black, Blue, and Red. Black is grounded 100% of the time, guessing to see if the sensor's attached and functioning. The Blue wire is grounded when it's in Neutral. Now, the Red wire grounds through different...

My brother's got a scope, but he's fly to NC this evening for his honeymoon. I'll see if I can get it, but I believe you're right about it being a potentiometer. The other TRE's are a small plug that appear to contain some caps & resistors, maybe just resistors.

Thanks for the info. Warren, I just thought of it about 30 minutes before I posted this thread. I'm at work, so I can't test it right now, but can tonight. I was curious if it's plausible and something that isn't overly complicated (at least not too complicated for myself) before I ventured...

That's what I thought, but didn't want to make any false assumptions. I'm not sure on the voltages yet, I'll have to go home and check it. I'll see if I can test that tonight. I need to change the oil & filter, so I can pull the plastics off and see what I find. Would a BASIC stamp work...

I always think of little things I want to build or do. I originally studied EE when i first got into college, but switched to IS. I have a base understanding and can solder. I'm basically looking to build a device that hooks inline with a sensor on my motorcycle. The plug has 3 wires (power...
