    You might want to specify which year and engine.

    The early cars dont even have a cel on the jetronic.

        is this for your m50 swap or an m20? the answers will change depending.

          Its the m50 swap but it uses the e30 chasis harness inside so should be same

            did you double check the pinout between them? there are a few differences over the years.

            edit: to clarify i'm wondering if the m50 ecu is looking for a missing signal from a deleted or incorrectly pinned sensor.

              Pinout is good. Bulb is just burned out.

              I was able to pull the abs bulb and check both with a AA battery and its just burnt out.

              Need to know what bulb goes in the holder

                  Awesome thank you! I was digging around and saw some posts with that mentioned but no confirmation.

                  Ill circle back when I get the bulbs and replace to confirm fitment
