FG Pinout Information

Elite Series Firmware Help › Elite Pro Plug-in ECUs › Ford Falcon I6 Barra - Installation GuideUpdated Sep 2026

When you are chasing a fault on an FG Falcon running a Haltech Elite plug-in, you want to know where a signal lives without scrolling through 92 pins in order. We have grouped the FG connector pinout by job, with the notes we use when diagnosing these cars.

How to use this page

The FG Barra plug-in uses two connectors, A and B, with 46 pins each. Haltech lists them in pin order, which is handy when you have the plug in your hand and useless when you are asking "where does injector 3 go?". Below, the same information is sorted by system. Pins marked for turbo or non-turbo models only are noted, and a few pins exist in the factory plug but are not used by the Haltech.

This applies to the Elite plug-in for FG, such as the Elite 2500 FG Barra kit. BA and BF models have their own pinouts, so use the BA pinout or BF pinout for those cars.

Injectors and ignition

FunctionPin(s)Notes
Injector 1 / 2 / 3A14 / A07 / A15
Injector 4 / 5 / 6A04 / A08 / A03
Ignition 1 / 2 / 3A35 / A46 / A12Coil-on-plug outputs
Ignition 4 / 5 / 6A34 / A24 / A23

If you are running the factory coils on a wire-in or terminated setup, Haltech's FG ignition harness for OEM coils matches this layout.

Tuning tip

The factory narrowband on A17 is fine for watching cruise, but you cannot tune boost on it. Fit a wideband controller and read lambda over CAN.

Pins not listed here (A01, A10, A11, A18, A20, A42 and B06, B07, B26, B38, B39, B41, B43) are empty in the Haltech pinout.

Diagnosing with this pinout

  1. Confirm power first. With the key on, you should see battery voltage on B40, B09, plus the 13.8 V ECU power pins B34 and B46.
  2. Check the 5 V supply at any of the supply pins. If it is low, a shorted sensor somewhere is pulling it down. Unplug sensors one at a time until it recovers.
  3. Back-probe the input you suspect while watching the matching channel in ESP. If the voltage changes at the pin but not in software, look at the input setup. If it does not change at the pin, look at the wiring.

Before first start, work through initial ECU setup and plug-in model selection. If your FG Mk I radio needs attention after the swap, the radio reprogramming guide and reprogramming cable cover it.

FAQ

Why does the post-cat O2 have a pin if it is not used?

The pin exists in the factory connector. The Haltech simply does not use the rear sensor for fueling.

Can I repurpose unused pins?

Often, yes, but it depends on what the ECU has behind that pin. Ask us before you add wires to the plug.
