– Do not apply 12V directly to any sensor pin (B1–B26). Most sensors run on 5V.
How do I obtain the Bosch M7 ECU pinout? The Bosch M7 ECU pinout can be obtained from the vehicle's repair manual, manufacturer's documentation, online resources, and ECU tuning software. Bosch M7 Ecu Pinout
– Unplug CKP. DMM to 200Ω scale. Measure between sensor pins (typically 450–1200Ω). Then find the two ECU pins that match this resistance (with sensor plugged in). Those are CKP+ and CKP-. – Do not apply 12V directly to any sensor pin (B1–B26)

The M7 architecture was developed to support a "centrally coordinated torque management" system. Unlike older systems that separately managed fuel and air, the M7 treats engine torque as the central variable, integrating inputs from the accelerator pedal, electronic throttle control, and various subsystems to maintain optimal efficiency and emissions.
The M7 uses a (VR) crank sensor. If you reverse pins B1 and B2 (signal+ and signal-), the ECU will see no RPM while cranking. Check oscilloscope waveform: a correct signal shows clean zero-crossing; reversed shows distorted amplitude.
