Rapid Data Transfer Mode



Last week there was a question about the applicability of certain 
PC-based diagnostic software to 90qs.  This software requires that the 
vehicle computer output information in the Rapid Data Transfer mode.  
Review of my Bentley for model years 1988 - 1991 80/90 reveals that 
this mode is available only on the 20V engine starting about March 
1990.  So we 10V-ers are outa luck.

This does beg the question of what the two-pin (female) connector in 
my driver's side footwell is for.  It taps into a pair or wires, one 
black/grey and one black/green (I think; light was bad at the time).  
The connector housing is orange or reddish.  I haven't yet found in 
the schematic section a pair of wires these colors with a connector 
indicated.  It would be convenient if this connector duplicated the 
fuze test point on the fuel pump relay.

Conjectures welcome.
