8-Pin PRPC Connector Pin-Out Definition 

Connector J4 contains the PRPC’s 8 low current output pins.  Each output is rated at 1/2A and is 
intended to drive relay coils or other low current loads.  Note that Pin 8 of the eight outputs is ac-
tive low (ground) while the rest are active high (12V).  

Note: when driving relays, a diode-

protected type must be used. InterMotive recommends DigiKey #PB682-ND Relay. 

 

The 8 outputs are defined as follows: 

• 

Pin #1 (Yellow wire) Configurable Output, Active High

 

• 

Pin #2 (White wire) Configurable Output, Active High 

• 

Pin #3 (Brown wire) Configurable Output, Active High 

• 

Pin #4 (Gray wire) Configurable Output, Active High 

• 

Pin #5 (Blue wire) Configurable Output, Active High 

• 

Pin #6 (Green wire) Configurable Output, Active High 

• 

Pin #7 (Orange wire) Configurable Output, Active High

 

• 

Pin #8 (Pink wire)  Configurable Output, 

Active Low*

 

Connect the desired outputs to vehicle equipment as needed.  Tape up 
unused leads.  When connecting to relays, use relays with appropriate 
kick-back suppression, such as Digikey #PB682-ND.  Unsuppressed relays 
will induce very high voltage spikes throughout modern vehicles sensitive 
computer electronics and should not be used, per Ford, GM, SAE, etc.   

 

The default configuration for the 8 outputs are as follows: 

 

• 

Pin #1 (Yellow wire)  Trans Range=Reverse - Flashing Momentary, 2 seconds On, 2 seconds Off 

• 

Pin #2 (White wire)   Transmission = Park 

• 

Pin #3 (Brown wire)   Left Turn Signal 

• 

Pin #4 (Gray wire)     Right Turn Signal 

• 

Pin #5 (Blue wire)      CTO* 

• 

Pin #6 (Green wire)    Any Door Open 

• 

Pin #7 (Orange wire)  Vehicle Speed > 76   

• 

Pin #8 (Pink wire)       Engine Running 

 

     *CTO = ((RPM/2)*#Cyl) = pulses per minute.  E.G. 600rpm = 2400 (8 cylinders)
