Folks: I've attached a file describing Leon's method of wiring up a check
engine light and a variation on vss installation on converted vans.
Contents of the file are also inline below.
This information has been thoughtfully provided by Leon Korkin.

The file can be found in the subaruvanagon Files section. Files > Wiring >

Thanks,
Brent

Hi Brent,
I thought it may be helpful to group, you may consider including it into
your files or not
For the last 8 years i have been using different approach in my conversions
and my own Vanagons
I remove yellow wire with terminal from pos. 12 and insert it into position
14 to be used for CEL
Cut Blu/green wire leaving 4" long pigtail that was in pos. 14 and insert
it into pos. 12 to be used
for VSS signal. Remove speedometer and remove DOPS board and discard board.
On the very late Vanagons OXS light is missing as well as resistor on flex
circuit.
I add original LED and solder(very carefuly after cleaning copper "pads")
470 ohm resistor to
complete circuit. I also add another resistor missing on flex circuit to
complete VSS circuit.
have been using what some people call "Dan VSS" which is just 3 wire VSS
from 90s Golf/Jetta.
I don't wire it like Dan does.After soldering 3 pigtails to VSS, wires get
soldered to connector used for DOPS
Cleaning crimps very well with sharp knife then soldering to 3 terminals
for ground, 12V and signal.
This makes VSS "built in" eliminating need for extra connector
On very late Vanagons there is grey/blu (if i recall it right) wire that VW
intended to be used for VSS but never did.
It can be used for VSS and spliced with pigtail in pos.12. There is single
plastic connector that is hiding under instrument cluster
and at the other end inside plastic connections box. On earlier Vanagons
missing this wire new wire needs to be installed and
spliced with pigtail in pos. 12.
This arrangement has been working very well. I don't trust any other VSS,
specially those with magnets, it's just too unreliable.
Single VSS has been working for both ECU and Cruise Control in my Syncro.
Hope it helps
Leon
