OBD II connector locations
-
We didn't get a proper OBDII port in the UK like they did in the USA.
You can just read codes the same was as with OBDI instructions using the diagnostics box in the engine bay.
Technically no UK MX-3's are proper OBDII, they did change the loom in 94/95 but not to a proper OBDII one as we were not given an OBDII conector.
So you can stop looking for the connector as it does not exist on our cars.
If your ECU has the space for a fourth connector it definately has the newer loom, so is no good for a KLZE swap.–---
I had a black 94 with the same loom and often wondered what the missing plug could be for? I could only guess that it was for something we don't have in the UK or an optional extra perhaps the missing OBDII connector? or for 1.8 automatic stuff? cruize control? who knows....
Anyway I hope that clears it up for you.

Welcome back! and thank god your back! I finally have an answer! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D are you able to tell me anything about the K862 ecu as google and forums are turning up nothing. Dont really need to know now I know its not proper OBDII, but Im still curious as to why no one else seems to have one of these ECU's whats different about mine that needed it to have a rare ECU.
KLZE aint no problem, didnt want to do it anyways :) I just wanted to know which OBD reader I needed to buy before I spent out on one, what do you think, since the electrical system is OBDI but the ECU is OBDII, thats what your saying right? Id guess OBDI but having 2 seperate criteria kinda jumbles it up again haha. Thanks Daryl, btw, feel free to visit, Ive moved from Yeovil to Wincanton now, are you setup as a garage down here (im guessing thats your job since you know more than anyone one else) be great to leave it in the hands of someone who knows these cars inside out.

Took it to the garage to see if there was any codes on as can get it read for a measley 10 quid, garage confirmed its OBDI and had no faults, yay!
-
You should learn to read them yourself, takes a little bit of head scratching the first time you do it, after that its easy.

I planned to, but I didnt want to spend money on an OBDI reader and find it was OBDII or buy and OBDII and find it was OBDI, especially as you said that it wasnt so straight forward as OBDI or OBDII and could be a weird mash up of the two, so I paid a tenner, found out I have no problems and it read fine on an OBDI reader, which means for my birthday in April, Im getting an OBDI reader :) Im also hoping for a timing light unless I can find one second hand for cheap enough, dont seem to be alot on ebay, theres the chinese ones, and its a simple enough device, but it the device isnt spot on in its own timing delay or rather a lack of one, then I could end up adjusting the timing when its not necessary, only problem I have is that the K1 leads are 10mm, which by anyones opinion is a large HT cable, their also meant to be very good for induction shielding, so I might not even get a reading, and thats if I can first find a timing gun that can fit on the cable

hi,Jesta!i have the same ecu with four ports but only 3 connectors.hopefully mine is obd1 aswell. :?
-
Is yours K862?
-
yes.
-
Yours will be the same as mine then, which is a confirmed OBDI, looks like its just you and me with these ECU's.
-
Hope,that this ECU will be allright for KLDE swap :?
-
How old is your car? Its said that the wiring loom in the later models is not compatible with KLDE, but then who knows really since no one else but us has these ECU's and looms, I wouldnt wager on it being suitable though.
-
mine is 1997.
-
mines a 98, so who knows could be of the same batch!
-
yep!the only way to find out is try :D

hi!got de in and started with k862 for a couple of seconds.engine run fine.then i try'd mx6 ecu kl05 and injection fuse blew out and fan was going all the time. :cry:looks like this is not a obd1.
