1996-97 PCM Connector Pin Out Charts (GM

4.3L, 5.0L, 5.7L)
PCM Connector: Blue (C1) 1996-1997

The 1996-97 PCM (Powertrain Control Module = Fuel Injection Computer) on your
4.3L, 5.0L or 5.7L Engine has a total of 4 connectors.
NOTE: For other PCM pin-out charts, take a look at the following:

1993 PCM Pin Out Chart (GM 4.3L, 5.0L, 5.7L GAS w/ 4L60-E).

1994 PCM Pin Out Chart (GM 4.3L, 5.0L, 5.7L GAS with A/T).

1995 PCM Pin Out Chart (GM 4.3L, 5.0L, 5.7L GAS with A/T).

1998-99 PCM Connector Pin Out Charts (GM 4.3L, 5.0L, 5.7L).

Each connector can be identified as:

1. C1 Blue (32 Pin Connector).
2. C2 Red (32 Pin Connector).
3. C3 Clear -or Grey- (32 Pin Connector).
4. C4 Black (24 Pin Connector).
I've divided this article into 4 parts. To navigate to the PCM Connector you need,
you can click on the links below:

C1 Blue.

C2 Red .

C3 Clear -or Grey- .

C4 Black .

You'll notice in the chart below (and in the next page) that I'm using the following
symbols: <->. This means that the Connector Pin # will have one of two different
wires DEPENDING on whether your vehicle is equipped with a 4.3L, 5.0L, 5.7L,
etc.

Safety Precautions
Here are some very important safety precautions when testing the wires coming
out of the PCM connectors.
1. If one or any of the wires on your GM vehicle DO NOT match the
color stated in the Pin Out Charts... then you should not use the Pin
Out charts in this article. Why? Because this is the clearest indication
that these ARE NOT the Connector Pin Out Charts for your particular
vehicle.
2. Never probe the front of the Connector.

You should use a Wire Piercing Probe and probe the

wire a few inches away from the connector.
o To see what this tool looks like: Wire
Piercing Probe.

You should use a Back Probe.

3. You should never disconnect any of the PCM connectors without first
disconnecting the battery negative terminal.
4. This is a FLASH unit and requires reprogramming if replaced with a
new one or used one.

Disclaimer
I've made every effort to double and triple check the above info (and in the next
couple of pages) and I've used the best sources to compile it... but nothing in life is
perfect. I don't have a staff of proof readers or editors... I'm just a little guy typing
this stuff up in my spare time to help and give back to the Do-It-Yourself community.
