Engine Swaps - Using an Immobilizer ECM

[atomic_hoji]

This thread is to document the process I used to get an Immobilizer equipped Engine Control Module (ECM) running a 2ZR-FAE from a 2016 Scion iM 6MT to work in a 2018 Toyota Yaris SE 5MT. While my experience is specific to this swap (found here: 2018 Yaris SE 5MT - T-Sport w/Valvematic!) I will try to write it as an overview of steps to follow so that another user has a sort of guide to follow when trying to pursue a different vehicle source engine swap.

Over a few posts I will cover the following sections:

• Information Resources
• Verifying Compatibility
• Registration ('Handshake') Process
• Troubleshooting

I will spread each out over a few posts knowing I have a bad habit of drafting huge posts. This will also leave room to add updated information, pictures, etc.. in later.
