Bosch M7 Ecu Pinout
While the core remains the same, here are key differences:
| Manufacturer | Model / Engine | Pinout Difference | |-------------------|---------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Peugeot/Citroën | 1.4L TU3JP (M7.4.4) | No VVT (C3 missing). EVAP on C2. | | Renault | K4M 1.6L (M7.9.7) | Cam sensor (B6) is magnetic, not Hall. A/C compressor on C6 is inverted logic. | | Nissan | QG15/QG18 (M7.9.8) | Additional pins for NATS immobilizer (C15, C16). Different crank trigger pattern. | | Fiat | 1.2L FIRE (M7.2) | Only 48 pins total. No connector C. Injectors on A1-A4, coils on A5-A6. |
