Corrado - Teeves 20 ABS Upgrade; wiring questions


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am in the process of fitting a Teves 20 ABS system (from a late 97 Golf VR6) into my late 1993 Corrado VR6. It's all in place, it's just wiring at the fusebox side of things which I'm getting confused with.

There are essentially 4 wires coming from the ABS system to the fusebox which then splits a little. So there are 6 wires in total. Here are the 4 wires coming from the ABS looms ECU connection to the fusebox. These have been physically traced and also confirmed with wiring diagrams.

grey/white - Pin 16

grey/white - Pin 13

black/red - Pin 12

black/yellow - Pin 23

Now, at the fusebox side of things;

grey/white (Pin 16) - Goes to fusebox plug W2 which I believe is for the ABS warning light?

grey/white (Pin 13) - Is the diagnostic connector which goes to the diagnostic block behind the centre console?

black/red (Pin 12) - Goes to fusebox plug W4 which is connected to the brake light switch - There is also a same coloured wire coming out at the W4 connection going to a single female terminal.

black/yellow (Pin 23) - Now I think this goes to fusebox plug D7 (via a single terminal I believe) which is an ignition live.

Connected to the W plug is a blue/white wire (W1) which is a VSS feed and plugs into the VSS block.

Now here is where it gets confusing for me..

black/red not only goes from ABS Pin 12, to W4 but also from W4 to a single female terminal. On the wiring diagram (see below) it goes to a signal point terminal T1 - but what is T1 and where does it come from? I can't find it on any diagram I've found. What kind of feed is it?

Also, on the wiring diagram; black/yellow goes from ABS Pin 23 to a terminal (TV18) which then goes to D3 and D7. I believe both D3 and D7 are ignition lives. If I am correct, do I need two feeds or will just one suffice? My original ABS system took the ignition feed direct from D7.

The wiring diagram I borrowed from rubjohnnys vault (thanks RJ) See here:

Finally, the ABS light. I can't use the Golf item because it physically won't fit. Can I some how get the original Corrado ABS light to work - I can't get my head around that wiring at all. I have been told a late Passat B4 one with the associated loom works but they are impossible to find - so if any guru can help me out in this department would be awesome.
