1.4 Injector Cut
1.4.1 General
Injector cut works by taking the signal supplied to each fuel injector and feeding it into
the Traction Control System. Under normal running the signal is exactly reproduced
firing the fuel injectors as normal. When wheel spin is detected the traction control
shuts down each fuel injector independently reducing the power of the engine
progressively. The severity of the cut is dependent upon the amount of wheel spin
detected and the parameters held within the Traction Control Unit.
By inspecting the fuel injectors of your vehicle you will see that two wires are
connected to each one. One of the wires supplies +12 V where as the other supplies
a 12V signal going down to GND to fire the injector. (see Diagram 2). It is these
“signal” wires that have to be located and connected to the Traction Control.

1.4.2 Locating Signal Wires
The signal and 12V wires have to be connected to the correct pin of the fuel injector
so you have to find the “polarity” of the fuel injection system before fitment. The
polarity can be identified using a number of methods.
• Wiring Diagrams - If you have a wiring diagram of the vehicle trace each of the
signal wires from the engine control unit (ECU) to each of the fuel injectors, the
wiring diagram will normally indicate colour codes. The 12V feed wires will be
linked together and will generally have a common colour code. If you have books
such as the “Autodata - Fuel Injection” series these can help in identifying the
polarity of a vehicles fuel injection system.
• Colour Coding - If you have no wiring diagrams you can identify the polarity by
looking at the wiring to the fuel injectors. If each of the fuel injectors is fed by a
common wire of one colour this will be the 12V feed, the remaining wires should
all be different colours and will be the signal wires.
• Continuity Testing – On the majority of cars the 12V side of the fuel injectors are
linked together. Place the multi-meter on one injector and check with the next
injector, if one side continuity beeps back check the rest of the injectors.
