Sure - Post up the video.

You'll need to upload the video to another site like Youtube or Photobucket.

Hey guys

Has anyone attempted to run a line from D3 to AD4 as described on pages 7 and 8..? AD4 looks fairly accessible from the photo, but I have not had the chance to check myself.

Thanks

AD4 is under the top of the dash. You have to remove the dash top to get to it. Also, the wire from the ECM to AD4 is only there in 2009 sedans and 2009+ Puerto Rico cars.

Hi Scott.. Maybe we Canuks are lucky in this case, my 08 Sedan has the wire at the ECM, and I can only assume it connected at AD4

I had to confirm and took apart the ECN connector and snapped a photo..
Like you indicated, it appears that there is no access to the AD4 connector from under the dash, but wonder why Toyota/Rostra would put out these instructions if it was not possible?

Maybe to mess with our Cruise Control crazy minds :p

You just need to train a rat to climb up there and plug the pin in for you.

I think that should not be a problem, Toyota dealerships have many of those, I think they call them "Automotive Technicians"

I thought you did an excellent job with it. Now, we just need one for the 2008 and older cars that require the ECM and steering column pins to be added.

Here is more detail on AD4:


Connector location under dash (the gray connector next to the blue and yellow connectors at the top left section of this picture):
Conn AD4 - Location2.jpg

More detail on the connector's location (this is the male side {which is on the bottom when in place in the car} of the junction connector that is part of the dash harness):
Conn AD4 - Location.jpg

This is how the male pin gets inserted into the connector:

got everything installed bud it do not work!

so ran a cable from pin 40 of the ecm to pin 1 of d3

grounded from pin 2 of d3 to a bolt of the column


installed the stalk with the new wire

the horn works fine.

i suspect the ground but its minus 15 celcius in the driveway so i'll
check that out again tommorrow,

anything i should test for if it's not the ground wire,

im reading about that ad4 thiing do i miss something?

I don't know what to check, but I definitely did not have to run anything to AD4 that we've heard about. It was direct from D3 to the to the ECM connector A21. Ran the cable through the grommet in the passenger side, under the carpet and eventually up into the steering column. On D3 I wasn't paying attention which pin was ground and which was to the ECM but it worked on the first try so apparently I got it right.

I assume you have an Automatic, since you don't mention installing the clutch switch?

AD4 is the middle connection point. Some years/configurations of the Yaris have the pin from ECM A21-40 to AD4, but then lack the wire from AD4 to D3. In your case, if you had to add A21-40, then AD4 is not of interest.

For testing, if you have a multimeter, I would start with measuring the voltage on pin 1 of D3 with the ignition on - It should measure 12V, indicating that the connection from D3 to the ECM is good.

Next, unplug D3, and with an ohm meter, measure the resistance between pins 1 and 2 on the column. It should measure as open, and then if you hold in the on/off button on the stalk it should go to a dead short.

ok so changed so ground wire, it's now connected to d1 bolt under the kick panel,

i've tested the d3 with ohm meter seems fine

i've tried to test from the emc wire(the one that goes right to it on passenger side under the carpet)
to the ground with my volt meter and nothing

i'm gonna check out the pin 40 emc again i guess but it seemed fine

im a bit discouraged here lol

The lack of 12V from the ECM pin definitely points to an issue with the pin. When it is fully inserted the weather seal should be just about flush with the top of the connector.
