Hi Folks - have one of these for a Discovery II TD5 and although it's a fairly simple plug in fit to the exisitng ECU connectors there are also 2 flyings leads. One is to the battery positive, but the other is green with a yellow stripe and is terminated with a male spade connector (insulated). Does anyone have a copy of the Smartbox/TD5 fitting instructions laying around?

Thanks
 
Thanks mjltigger, but I now think it may be an input from one of the the throttle position sensors. Looking at the circuit diagram suggests that there are two - both connected to the ECU via the black ECU connector (C0658).
The input from throttle position sensor 1 connects to pin 12 (C0658-12) and is white with a green stripe (provides 0 to 5 volts to ECU).

I just need someone in the know about Van Aaken to confirm this before I try it...........

Can ayone help please?

Cheers
 
Many thanks to Martin of the Offroad Shop in Norway (Offroadbutikken - Home) for providing the answer to my question:
The green/yellow-striped cable from the Van Aaken Smartbox should be joined with the cable that goes to pin 12 of the black ECM connector - a white cable with a green stripe. This comes from the throttle position sensor, and provides a voltage of between 0 and 5 volts to the ECM - and now the Smartbox too.

Works a treat! Ha en fin dag Martin.

Cheers!
