 How to read a Chevrolet SIM2K-D160 ecu with pcmtuner ? Use this in Module 30, 1,3,5 — ECU ground (just connect one of the contacts) 77 — CAN-High 78 — CAN-Low 76 — K-Line 2 — +12V (ignition on) 4 — +12V (power supply of the main relay) 6 — +12V (non-switchable power supply) You may not be able to do this ECU in BSL 53 as main processor is MPC756MXP56 Second Processor TC1738.
