If you are hunting down an electrical fault or wiring a conversion harness, follow these precautions to prevent frying the internal Zexel circuitry:
If your diagnostic scanner cannot connect to the Zexel unit, use a digital multimeter to check the following:

Adjusts the injection advance dynamically.
Do not wire the ECU directly to the ignition switch. Use a standard 4-pin automotive relay:

Insert thin T-pins into the back of the harness connector where the wire enters the plastic housing. Shoving multimeter leads directly into the female front pins will stretch the metal terminals, resulting in permanent loose connections and intermittent misfires.
Note: Wire colors can change depending on factory production months. Always verify voltage with a digital multimeter before splicing. Step-by-Step Diagnostic Probing Guide
Switch to resistance mode. Check the pins going down to the Zexel injection pump. The internal coils of the timing control valves will typically read very low resistance (usually between 2 to 15 ohms) relative to their power supply feed. Troubleshooting and Diagnostics via Pinout Data If you are hunting down an electrical fault
Check for 12V at the fuel cut solenoid during cranking. Use an oscilloscope or multimeter to verify an AC voltage waveform coming from the Crankshaft Position Sensor. Fault Symptom: White Smoke and Heavy Diesel Knock
These sensors dictate the operational maps the ECU selects for fueling and timing.
