Subject:Re: Electrical Experts. Motronic Hall Reference Voltage?

Sorry for all these emails.

One clue indicating that my harness & ECU may require battery voltage
sent to the hall, is this note in Bentley:  "... early 1993 m.y. did
not have MIL except for California vehicles." Here's the diagram
regarding relevant notes on hall, my notes in red text:

Though the MIL pin is present on ECU, there was no wire from ECU to
dash or MIL present in instrument cluster. The ECU, harness and
cluster came from same donor.
