Nexus R3 VCU Pinout

Nexus Information › Wiring DiagramsUpdated Sep 2026

The Nexus R3 pinout is the map of every pin on the R3's connectors. You'll want it any time you wire a universal harness, add a sensor or chase a fault.

What the pinout is for

The pinout diagram shows each pin on the Nexus R3 VCU's connectors and what it's for: power and ground, sensor inputs, injector and ignition outputs, general-purpose I/O and communications. It's the reference that ties a wire in your harness to a function in NSP.

When you need it

  • Building a harness from the R3 plug and pin set or a universal wire-in harness.
  • Adding a sensor or output to an existing install and choosing a free pin.
  • Fault finding, when you need to confirm a signal at the ECU plug.

What to check

  • You're reading the connector from the correct side. Wire side and pin side views are mirror images.
  • The pin you pick supports the function you're assigning in NSP.
  • High-current feeds and grounds use the correct pins and wire gauge.
