87 GL ECU wiring question

Featured Replies

Hi all, I've been under my dash pulling my electrical bits apart trying to diagnose something and today while pulling out my ECU to get at my fuel pump relay I noticed a wire coming from one of my ECU plugs that's more than a little janky. The FSM lists the wire as being "Line end cord output" which means a whole lot of nothing to me, so I'm hoping one of you lovely folks might have a better idea what that means so I can decide whether or not I should be fretting over getting it more properly connected.eculineendcordoutput.thumb.jpg.a7e3135f16150d808a9f27d733c92bec.jpg

There's the wire in question, old solder barely holding on by one copper strand

And here's the FSM labeling that wire as #11 on connector F108, "Line end Cord Output"

Does that mean anything to any of you?

Alright I think I just answered my question for the most part. According to General Disorder in 2007, line end cord output just goes to a dealership only diagnostic tool.

Phew! no need to work up a sweat over it I suppose.

 

Here's the thread where I found that info.

 

Sounds like it.  Sometimes that happens. 
I never had a reason to look at that particular wire / group.

If it only connects to the diagnostic connector, it won't matter.
