Haltech Nexus R3 pinout diagram with wire colours

Where this comes from

Only Haltech's own documents. Pin names and notes are written exactly as Haltech writes them.

Haltech wire colour codes

  • B = Black
  • BR = Brown
  • G = Green
  • GY = Grey
  • L = Blue
  • O = Orange
  • P = Pink
  • R = Red
  • V = Violet
  • Y = Yellow
  • W = White
  • LG = Light green

Two letters: the first is the wire colour, the second is the stripe.

How we checked it

  • We start from Haltech's pinout table for this ECU.
  • We read every pin again from a second Haltech document, the wiring diagram or the quick start guide. A script compares the two, pin by pin.
  • A pin is only shown when its function and its wire colour match in both. Where a diagram has no text to read, we read the pins off the drawing itself.
  • The notes are Haltech's own words from its pinout table.

Where Haltech's documents disagree

C23: Haltech's R3 harness guide lists the colour of the shielded knock cable (Black/Blue); the R3 wiring diagram shows the knock signal as the white core inside that 2-core cable. We show both: a white core in a black/blue cable.

C24: Haltech's R3 harness guide lists the colour of the shielded knock cable (Black/Green); the R3 wiring diagram shows the knock signal as the white core inside that 2-core cable. We show both: a white core in a black/green cable.
