Crank Angle Sensor wiring differences

So I have a 93 and (natch) a 93 harness. My original CAS clips were destroyed some time ago and I received new ones from Fritz. The problem is that the wiring on the clips is different than the originals. I, of course, did have the original at the time but I wanted to double check that I had the right orientation. The harness is b/g & r/w while the clips are something like y/br & r/w. I didn't think that the 95s were different and I can't seem to find an online manual for those.

I have another harness that is from a 94, but it has different wiring as well.

Anyone have that schematic that depics the other wiring?

Thanks!

I know that I could just pin it out, but for reference...

Be very carefull here , the sensors need to be wired correctly ,if you reverse the wires on either conector the timming will be off by 30 -32 degrees .It is not like a light or an electromagnet that politary does not matter . These things need to be correct .If you unplug one and unplug the wires and swap them then the timming will be off .Steve Kan showed me this and I tested it .Low and behold it is true .

Heh...that's why I'm asking this.

Since my wiring is different between the clips and the harness, I can't guarantee that I have it 100%. I'm pretty sure I do as I think I did this when I first put everything together, but since I can't remember if that was the case, I'm double checking.

Back up...

I guess the better question would have been to ask about the polarity. Anyway...

Hey im gonna piggy back on your ? because im in a similar situation. I think it would help to know which sensor is which. Is the white connector the NE signal or the G signal?

I just did a little bit more searching in the 2 gen section and there G signal was the one with less teeth or whatever so is it safe to say that G signal would be the grey connector or the CAS on the outside.

Thanks, but even there, the drawing shows the B/G and W/R and the little chart shows the other wiring.

I'm just going to pin out the other harness I have tonight. I'll be able to get the orientation from that.

Thanks, Nic...

That was perfect! I'll post up the mapping tomrrow for all those inquiring minds.

Maybe we'll actually get some progress here...

Sounds like you have it licked, think whatever the model, the red wire doesn't change and goes to the grey connector. Japanese 94(?) model.

As an aid to anyone in the future. Looking at the sensors from the top and from the front of the car the pins on the left are the grounds.

Did anyone figure out which wires go to which positions on the upper/lower connectors? My engine harness was cut and im trying to repair it blindly. (i believe) the top sensor has the black/green wires and the lower sensor has red/white - which pin these wires connect to i could not find answers to. Can anyone help?
