Add CEL for AGG conversion
Hi all,
I've completed a 2.0 AGG conversion in my '89 Syncro Microbus. Now I'm trying to add an Check Engine Light to my dash.
I'm a bit ignorant of the topic, but here's what I think I know.
The ECU has OBD1, with an early OBD2 connector (black one). I don't have an OBD1 reader, but understand that I can get fault codes by bridging the correct terminal. My problem is, there is no engine warning light to flash the fault codes.
Is it possible to add an CEL? Is it as simple as connecting LED to a terminal on the ECU, or is an additional circuit required?
Thank you in advance for any help.

If it’s an AGG then it’s as simple as using W/K lines for OBD socket.

Re: Add CEL for AGG conversion
I am no expert on the AGG setup, but I have tried to decypher the crazy VW schematics.
From what I can tell you need two components for this.
1 - The MIL -
You need an LED circuit to illuminate.
If it is like most early MIL systems, then I am assuming that the LED is fed by an ignition live supply to the positive leg.
And grounded by the relevant pin on the ECU.
Ground trigger to LED negative leg.
I have seen mention of ECU pin 25 for this.
2 - EOBD / ALDL -
Typical early (pre-CAN) K line ECU diagnostics are connected at pin 7 of the 16 pin diagnostic plug.
From what I have read, this should be connected to ECU pin 43.
I cannot find definitive information about flashing out codes on the MIL with the AGG ECU.
All posts refer to using VagCom or VCDS to read codes. I assume any basic code reader should be able to read "generic" codes as all manufacturers use pin 7 for early EOBD1 diagnostics.

Re: Add CEL for AGG conversion
Thank you for the quick replies!
Seems then I only need to confirm what pin on ECU grounds the LED?
I have a Bosch 0 261 204 026 ECU with a 1HS 906 258 code. Not sure if that means anything to anyone?

Pin 25?

Re: Add CEL for AGG conversion
We’re trying to reinvent the wheel here.
VW put an OBD port in. It’s that simple.
pin 25 is TPS related. Pin 10 if you’re desperate and bored with life.

Re: Add CEL for AGG conversion
HI guys,
@Elvis, not sure were on the same page. I want to install a Check Engine Light in my instrument cluster. As far as I can tell, this signal must come from ECU.
@Robsey, pin 25 on ECU, for me, is an output to switch the fuel pump relay. My best guess is pin 35 that has had its cable cut short. The best info I can get for this pin is that it goes to the instrument cluster.

Re: Add CEL for AGG conversion
I think it depends on car model and year of manufacture.
MIL (A5) on instrument cluster on the Polo / Passat etc with AGG engine has 4 inputs.
Mil unit Pin 27 from vehicle speed sensor (B33) pin 2
White /blue.
Mil unit Pin 7 from ECU pin 11
Blue / white
Mil unit pin 10 from ECU pin 10
Violet or violet / white.
**** Which coincides with Elvis' statement above *****
Mil unit pin 26 to ECU pin 19
Green / black
Then diagnostic port (X1) is linked to ECU pin 43 via the immobiliser unit (A162)
Grey / white.
And that is all the schematic shows.

Re: Add CEL for AGG conversion
Blue/white is VSS on pin 11
Green/black is (digital) tacho signal on pin 14
W line on pin 43 is grey/white.
As previous - lilac/white on 10 is the badger.
Pin 35 is earth.

What year and model is it out of?
I’ve filleted feck knows how many AGG looms and have seen one small variance of colour in one wire/pin ever.

Re: Add CEL for AGG conversion
Best off asking on SA golf forums if it’s MP9 chap.
