Connector Breakout Lead Kit B — VAG Engine Testing

The Connector Breakout Lead Kit B from Pico Technology provides safe, non-invasive access to four common Volkswagen and Audi engine connectors. Designed for technicians who need to test VAG engine components without back-pinning or risking wiring loom damage, this kit includes the TA190, TA191, TA194, and TA267 breakout leads.

At Pico, we work with many different types of vehicles in different markets. Our connection with OEMs, and testing of new systems for software builds, give us great access to new vehicles. Most manufacturers use large breakout boxes, which can be very expensive and time-consuming to connect to the vehicles.

Due to warranty issues on wiring looms, many manufacturers are uncomfortable with back-pinning and may select to use Pico’s specialist breakout leads instead. We have two kits made for use with different vehicles.

These breakout leads have become very popular and are proven to help save you time in waveform capturing. This became clear to us recently, when we dramatically reduced our time spent on testing many engine management systems like injectors, camshaft and crankshaft sensors. You can connect via the 4 mm connector for voltage reading or put a current clamp around one of the color leads. Each lead is numbered for reference so it is easy to list the connection for the sensor. This can be added in the waveform notes for feature reference.
