I ran into an electrical problem and I am trying to re-run all my wires. I was wondering if anyone knows on the 2g what color wires off the translator run to what color wires off of the 2g stock mas plug, mine was wired directly no plug and the colors do not match and there are extra wires. Not having it in front of me, the maft has a pink, gray, brown... etc not the wires that go to the gm maf, the ones that connect to to the 2g mas plug.


Second question, I know when you turn the key to the on posistion the red light on the maft is suppose to flash, well my does not and it doesn't flash when u turn the car off. The only way we can get the red light to go on is if we unlpug the gm maf, once its plugged in the red light goes off.
 
Don't know answer to first question, because I am 1g.

Does the LED flash when you turn the dials?
 
Troubleshooting
If the installation and tuning does not progress as the steps indicate, the translator signals can be checked according to the following table.

Wires to MAF sensor:
Pink - +12 volts
Yellow - MAF frequency signal
Black – ground (0 volts)

Wires to Vehicle:
Pink - +12
Green – Translator frequency signal
Black – Ground (0 volts)
Brown – ATS (Air temperature signal, fixed at 80 degrees)
Gray – BARO (Barometric pressure signal, fixed at 3.9 volts)
White – RPM signal, connected to CAS sensor.

No LED blink at key on: check power feed to Translator, check connections, check fuse.

RED LED is blinking: The MAF Translator has internal trouble codes that are blinked out using the RED LED. The codes are as follows.

1 blink - in RPM mode, No RPM signal
2 blinks – no MAF signal
3 blinks – Internal Flash memory problem.
4 blinks – dial or switch problem
5 blinks – internal program problem
6 blinks – problem with saved settings.
7 blinks – unit detected a reset while the engine was running.
8 blinks – internal Flash memory reset.
