Simos 33a Pinout Top [new] ✧
While the is moderately well-documented in enthusiast forums, official sources are better:
In vehicle wiring diagrams, the Simos control unit (J361) is centrally located in the plenum chamber and connects via the 80-pin T80 connector . Standard engine sensor pins include: Pin 82 Oxygen Sensor (G39): Pins 70, 71 Throttle Position Sensor (G79): Pin 73 simos 33a pinout top
The pinout for the Siemens Simos 3.3a ECU , commonly found in VAG (Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda) vehicles with 1.6L engines (like the AVU or BFQ codes), is essential for bench reading, pincode retrieval, and IMMO-OFF procedures. Core Bench Pinout (Power & Communication) For standard "on-the-bench" operations using tools like OBDSTAR DC706 , the primary connections are made to the 81-pin main connector Pin Number(s) Description +12V (Permanent) Main power supply +12V (Ignition) Switched power Ground (GND) Main chassis ground Diagnostic communication line Component-Specific Pinout Data Leave a comment below or contact our technical
