While pinouts differ between models, the logic of what each pin does is remarkably consistent across generations. Once you understand the "job" of a pin number (e.g., pin 18 for permanent power), you can trace faults even without a full diagram. This layout is iconic among vintage Euro-car restorers

Is resistance between the ground pins and the negative battery terminal under 0.5 ohms? Key pin functions include: Coil Negative (timing control

Note: M1.0 and M1.1 often lack oxygen sensor inputs (open-loop only).

The absolute most important input. Without this signal, the ECU will not trigger fuel or spark. Often uses a shielded 2-wire or 3-wire VR (Variable Reluctance) or Hall effect sensor.

Dedicated clean grounds isolated from engine noise, protecting sensitive 5V sensor circuits.
