Built for specific late-1990s and early-2000s Hondas and Acuras, the cable routes signals between the car's OBD2B port and a 1992–1995 OBD1 ECU so you can test or use legacy computers. It’s important to confirm both your ECU and vehicle harness match the required specs before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this harness work with my car and ECU?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the model years and ECU standard first: this jumper is made for cars with an OBD2B-style diagnostic connector and ECUs that follow the OBD1 pinout from 1992–1995. It specifically covers Honda Accord (1998–2002), Civic (1999–2000), and Acura Integra (2000–2001).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible vehicle harness: OBD2B only (not OBD2A).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible ECU: OBD1 spec from approximately 1992–1995.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupported models: Accord 1998–2002, Civic 1999–2000, Integra 2000–2001.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot suitable if ECU or car harness does not match these specifications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow simple is installation and what connectors are used?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward—designed as plug-and-play so no splicing or soldering is required. The harness uses a red plug to mate with the car’s OBD2B port and a gray plug to attach to the OBD1 device, keeping factory wiring intact and minimizing installation time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug-and-play — no wire cutting needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed plug fits OBD2B vehicle connector; gray plug fits OBD1 ECU.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for field testing, ECU swapping, and bench connection setups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRecommended for manual-transmission vehicles only (see compatibility notes).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre there limitations or special warnings I should know?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes. This adapter is intended for manual-transmission applications and will not work for vehicles that require automatic-transmission specific wiring or for OBD2A harnesses. Compatibility depends on electrical and diagnostic pinouts rather than the engine itself, so verifying both ECU and vehicle harness type is essential before using it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManual transmission only; not compatible with automatic-transmission ECU configurations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOnly converts OBD2B to OBD1 — not an OBD2A solution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDoes not change ECU programming or diagnostic protocols beyond wiring adaptation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConfirm pinouts and part numbers when in doubt to avoid misconnection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and build quality can I expect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe harness is built to resist everyday workshop conditions.

If you work with legacy ECUs for testing, swapping, or diagnostic purposes on the listed model years and have a manual-transmission vehicle, this adapter simplifies setup without altering factory wiring. Do not purchase if your ECU or vehicle harness is outside the listed specifications, or if you require automatic-transmission or OBD2A conversion functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does this adapter work with automatic transmissions?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. This RED WOLF jumper harness is for manual-transmission vehicles only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use it with any OBD2 car?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. It requires an OBD2B-style vehicle harness and an OBD1-spec ECU from 1992–1995.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"RED WOLF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55163021230423,"sku":"B08GFPQFFZ","price":32.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/1524\/7191\/files\/red-wolf-front-view-plugged.jpg?v=1790340739","url":"https:\/\/britishgarage.co.uk\/products\/red-wolf-obd2b-to-obd1-ecu-jumper-harness-for-honda-acura-1998-2002-plug-and-play-manual-trans-only","provider":"British Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
