1996-1998 Mustang GT 4.6L Cortex EBC
WIRING
The 1996-1998 Mustang PCM is inside the vehicle behind the kick panel in the passenger side foot well near the door. The PCM has a single large 104-pin connector. Power, ground, RPM, vehicle speed, and throttle position signals can be accessed at the PCM connector.
The Cortex EBC wiring harness and Speed Sensor Adapter V2 can be connected to the 104-pin PCM connector as outlined in the following tables. RPM and vehicle speed signals are required for boost by gear applications. The Speed Sensor Adapter V2 can be connected to the same power and ground source as the Cortex EBC if desired.
