Just seen it today in the Chiltons master book at the public library while I was trying to find bulhead connector diagrams for a 90 and an 89. Whilst I was looking for my stuff, I happened upon an entire section (like50+ pages) on "supplemental restraint systems". I can't answer your ?? directly, just giving you a place to look that I know the info is located. Good luck

If you will take a look at the enclosed picture, you will see that it goes to the 20 AMP gages fuse and then goes to one side of the "Inflatable Restraint Indicator" light on the dash idiot panel.

Have you checked the connections? Also are you using the whole 4th gen dash cluster or just the speedometer?

cluster.... 95 trans am

also the oil pressure is screwed up, but i think that may be the guage itself

so is there any reason this isnt working ? i see that the speed sensor itself puts out a 4000 pulse per mile signal also, can i just take that wire... and use that and ground the other one ?

the generator makes a dirty 4000PPM signal ment to be sent to the ECM or speedo buffer box.


the speedo itself is expecting a clean +5v square wave signal.

still havnt answered my question.... coming out of the ecm should be a filtered 4000ppm signal, the tan wire going to the cluster... so why isnt it working with the 95 trans am speedo since that is also a 4000 ppm signal ?
