    ms3pro and traction control

    I've been searching and searching and I think I have a slightly understanding. As far as tuning and setting up the ms3pro, my tuner has done it and that shouldn't be too much of a problem for him. But I want to connect all the wiring before I take it to him. So to connect it to the ms3pro, I'm guessing I could use the diff speed sensor signal for vss1. How do I set the vss1 input digital or analogue? And same question for vss2 using a front abs sensor...do I need that conditioning expansion board?

    I have 96 m3 converted to obd1 btw.

    These are digital inputs - an analog speed input would give a 0-5 volt reading and is pretty much unheard of in the OEM world, although some aftermarket versions exist. Is this a PNP unit or a wire-in?

    OK, the PNP is going to have two VR conditioners for ABS sensor input on the options port. You just need to wire to those connections and set things up under the Speed and Gear Sensors menu.

    Now I'm confused. How do I get to the option port? I know where the speed and gears sensor section is. Do I select Digital for VSS1? How about for Digital input?

    The options port is the 20 pin connector on the back of the PNP. This picture shows the pin numbers looking into the connector on the ECU.



    The stock VSS input is Digital Frequency In 1, while Digital Frequency In 2 and 3 are pins 17 and 16 respectively.
