IS300 ABS ECU sensors, switches and CLuster lights

IS300 ABS wire pinout

On the left is the pinout of two primary ABS connectors (S15 and S16). If your goal is to reuse these wires, wire the sensors into your engine management, or connect to the lights that are on your gauge cluster, you'll be using these pins. The only major exception is the TRAC-OFF switch wire which connects to connector S17. The device and pin they used to connect to is listed below on the S17 connector. Other than this, the majority of the wires that feed into the engine bay connect to connectors S15 and S16.

The GREAT NEWS is that these two connectors are also used on several K Series Honda applications & NB Miata. Which means you can buy a header panel like the one pictured below, connect your wires to the wheel speed sensors, gauge cluster lights, and whatever extra you have in your engine bay after you pull the wires from the ABS actuator plug, then plug in these two plugs to the header panel below. That's it! This is especially exciting since the ABS ECU connectors are highly difficult to crimp and heatshrink (due to their location under the dash).

19 of the wires in the graphic on the left go straight from the ABS ECU to the engine bay.

Picture below is from ebay. You can search either "NB ECU header" or "K series ECU header" and you'll find listings. Ballenger Motorsports has a header panel as well that is more expensive, but likely better quality than this ebay picture below.
