How to connect the tachometer signal wire for BYD F0?
2 Answers
To connect the tachometer signal wire for BYD F0, attach the yellow signal wire to the trigger terminal of the ignition switch. The engine fires once every four strokes, which corresponds one-to-one with the RPM. Simply connect it in parallel. The other two wires should be connected to the positive and negative power terminals respectively, with black being positive and green being negative. The BYD F0 is a compact car launched by BYD Company. Its body dimensions are 3460mm in length, 1618mm in width, and 1465mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2340mm. It is equipped with a 1.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 50 kW at 6000 RPM and a maximum torque of 90 Nm between 4000 to 4500 RPM. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I once helped a friend fix the tachometer issue on their BYD F0 in my home garage. Connecting the signal wire was crucial. The specific steps were: First, completely disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid short-circuit risks. Then locate the ECU connector position of the F0—it's near the firewall in the engine bay. You'll need to check BYD F0's repair manual or online owner forum posts to confirm the tachometer signal pin number—I recall it's usually pin C5 or similar on the ECU connector. Set your multimeter to voltage mode, and you should detect pulse signals at engine idle. After confirming this, use specialized wiring terminals to connect the tachometer's signal wire, ensuring proper insulation wrapping to prevent moisture ingress. After wiring, start the car to test if the needle moves. If not, check the ground wire and connection looseness. Be careful throughout the process—don't rush the job, and having an assistant helps.
