    Zenon, I REALLY appreciate all the effort you put in! This has been very frustrating for something that should have been very easy. However, I think I found a decent work-around. I ran across a CAN/VSS converter online that may do the trick. The price was a tad steep ($75) but I think it will...

    Thanks for the info. The tach I will try. Unfortunately as for the VSS the B19 and B20 pins are inside the TCM and no way to splice into them, that I can tell. No an actual wiring harness.

    You are correct. It is the wiring diagram book. I have spent numerous sessions pouring through both manuals and have been unable to find specific enough data. I have even had a couple of electrical engineers at work look at it. If you are able to find the pins and wire colors I would be very...

    I was invited earlier this month...

    My bad I should have started with... "Welcome!!!" How rude of me! Anyway I contacted two local dealers and in both cases spoke with the service manager. Also contacted the USA Mazda customer care number. They simply said I would have to speak to a dealership. When I told them I had not gotten...

    What I am still trying to find, after 14 months, is the pinout for the ECU. Specifically the VSS and TACH so I can finish wiring up a digital speedo/tach HUD gauge. I have tried numerous resources including Mazda, the device manufacturer (DeFi), and the main US distributer (TIEN), and have yet...

    Performance between different trims

    Might be the towing package. I have it, and I know the low end torque is higher. It makes a fairly noticeable differences when taking off.

    Rewired Fogs to run without headlights on

    OP chiming in... This thread or, at least the original post, was meant to be purely informative. Whether individuals choose to adhere to or ignore local legal statutes is a personal choice. Here in Arizona we have no such restrictions, so to that point this issue is moot. Having said that if...

    New Product Devolopment

    I wish it was that easy..sadly no. This is a HUD digital speed/tach unit from Defi. I have had several but this is the first time I have been unable to get info either online or from the auto manufacturer (Mazda in this case) to find the PPM/TACH or VSS/Speed sensor output from the ECU... My...

    Engine Coolant Odor Present

    Actually I have noticed this as well. When I pick up mail from community mailbox area I can smell it and occasionally after parking in garage shorlty after. I have looked for leaks and found none. Nor have I seen any drippings. I do believe the temp is normal as well as both gauge and engine...

    CX-9 ECU wiring Diagram (INSIDE)

    Unfortunately the instrument panel is microprocessor controled and does not have the signals required by after market gauges. This is the case with most cars these days.

    CX-9 ECU wiring Diagram (INSIDE)

    Well, in the case of my Honda Accord Hybrid, the pinout was fully laid out in the service manual. I doubt that it is meant to be secret rather it is not information most service techs need. Likely as the CX-9 is around longer some upfitter will get their hands on this info and make it...

    CX-9 ECU wiring Diagram (INSIDE)

    True enough this is all in the service and electrical manuals available from Mazda(purchased). Neither have been any help in my attempts to determine ECU pinouts. I have a HUD speed and RPM gauge which I cannot hook up due to the lack of this info. I have exhausted all attempts to get this info...
