thanks for this video man it's a great reference for my manual swap I am planning to attempt these coming months

[@husband_things]

Glad You like it! Thanks! I'm still happy with the swap and stuff works great.

[@Dmn2258]

Great info. Any idea if this would apply to an 01 GS430? I have a manual swap with an auto reflashed ecu. Right now my ECU reads in 2nd and I'm curious if switching to L would make a noticeable difference. I also want to get my cruise control working as well and like the switch idea you had

[@husband_things]

Thanks! They are the same era cars so it is possible. Though the ECU pins and wire colors are for sure different from the IS300. If you find the same pins and wires on the GS430 then the same tricks might work. The switch works great, I am using CC all the time.

I wonder if this mod will pass California smog test. In California, CEL is an automatic fail, even if it is not emissions related.

[@husband_things]

There is no CEL so why would it be an issue?

[@pchae1]

@@husband_things i didn’t watch the full video because I am not close to doing this swap yet. California rules are very strict so any unauthorized reflash or tune of the ECU is restricted. However, this looks like it’s a hard wire fix and not a flash.

[@husband_things]

@@pchae1 this creates the missing ATM signals using cam sensor signal. If you dont care about CC then you can hardwire without Arduino and there are no CELs either way. In the video timeline there are links for diagrams too.

[@braedengeralds8305]

Do you have a separate video that better shows the wiring done for the auto ecu, without CC? I don’t know what to cut/splice

[@husband_things]

No separate video. The schematic in the video is pretty clear on it. Also check the my.is forum post, maybe it helps.

[@braedengeralds8305]

@@husband_things I’ve looked at the forums and stuff, I wish I could just see the way people wire it up close lol. But from what I understand, I cut the red wire (21) and blue wire (23) from the ecu plug and run them into the green wire (29) but keep green wire connected to ecu plug

[@husband_things]

@@braedengeralds8305 Yes, you cut 21 and 23 and the ends of these going into the ECU(plug side) you splice/connect into 29. The 29 wire you do not cut - it has to remain connected as before to the ECU. The entire point of it is to send the signal that usually only goes to 29 pin of the ECU to all three pins of the ECU...so the same signal goes to 21,23 and 29. Originally only 29 receives the signal. And the signal is being sent TO the ECU not from it. Hope it helps!

[@husband_things]

@@braedengeralds8305 Also dont forget to cut D5 and isolate it for the reverse fix.

[@braedengeralds8305]

@@husband_things awesome thanks so much

[@Careless_is300]

Hey man i need help with wiring car starts but is really slow

[@husband_things]

@@Careless_is300 is it in L gear?
