Cut wire help!

Recommended Posts

Hey team,

Iv had my type R for a while now and pretty must know it inside and out EXCEPT I have just recently found a wire that the previous owner has cut and I was wondering if anyone had any info on whether it’s meant to have a plug on it or if it’s meant to be attached to something?

I realise this is a hard question but if any who has a version 5 sti could pop their head under their steering wheel and see what’s up. It’s right beside the black and green plugs. I would love to see if it has power but the car is currently out of action.

Pics attached.

Is there a second black plug dangling under there? I’m guessing it is the other half of the black ecu reset plug.

 

Edit: Just checked on my v6, the two black wires were tied up with factory tape. I pulled them out so you can see. They have pins on them but they aren’t the normal, diagnostic/reset plug wires so I’m not sure their exact purpose. Not supposed to connect to anything by the looks of it though.

Could just be grounds? get a multi meter and check the voltage difference between them and a known 12v. Or see if you can test for continuity across them and the chassis.

 

EDIT: just re-read @axle117s post, saw car is out of action. @IZichard do you have a multi meter handy?

I have one but it is at work. I could check it tomorrow if needed, but they aren’t connected to anything and my car has always worked fine so I don’t think they are particularly important.

 

My guess is some test/flash wire for the Subaru factory. They were taped up out of the way inside the factory loom tape.

That looks exactly like them. Wonder why they had their pins removed. Anyhow, I’ll clip them short and tuck them out of the way like you had. Once the car is mobile again I’ll test for any power. 

 

Cheers guys!

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
