you found the under hood DLC, was originally behind the right front head light shell.
seen here.
6 pins, jump 4 to 5 to freeze timing, to set it to spec. with a timing light.

let me look carefully

here is what your 6 pin does.
i horsed it up.

off the 97 schematic page




the DLC1 (OBD2) is above right knee in all USA 97 sidekicks and trackers.
if you scanned it with any scan tool made it be barfing errors like made. DTC errors diagnostic trouble codes.
it would, because your sensor grounds are open

most cars with this error food and die. fast.

thanks for sharing photos ,nice to see a SAMMI locking real sharp.....

here is the 97 DLC1, OBD2 16pins, D-shell shape connector

the DLC1 connector underhood, has a rubber cap. unlike any other on car.
very unique that and yells, DLC here.

---

got a friend with a OBD2 scan tool., scan it.
all sidekicks 96 and newer scan, with any obd2 tool made.
even the dirt cheap tools/

in my first post pin 11 ECU wire is cut, for sure. at either end or the harness.

---

that ecu pin 11 gray yellow runs a huge long daisy chain, and as such can be cut, in every place it stops
ECT
IAT
TPS
Fuel tank pressure sensor (EVAP diag)
EGR map sensor
both 02 heaters
all or some can be dead, depends on where the wire is cut, and is.

really one of the most important wires on the car (EFI)
