Hey Doax,

Great writeup! Thank you for sharing! Looks like you did a basic "T" connection for those signals you wanted. No concerns about affecting / disturbing the signal or toasting the ECU (accidentally, I mean of course)?

Thanks TomO,

The $110 is waaay more reasonable than the $800 that Honda wants!! Still pricey, I agree, but now it's within a reasonable time vs $$ tradeoff area. It'd prolly take me ~ 6 tedious hours to get all those connections soldered...
Also a bit more "comforting" to know that the Honda ECU diagnostics harness has nothing special inside to "buffer" the signal from the external test points.

Maybe I'll look at it as an opportunity to enhance my soldering skillz...
