Great job so far

Haha, I just might fire it up without exhaust. What a racket she'll make LOL.

Didn't get as much done as I had wanted to tonight. I really wanted to get the airbox on. I think I'll leave the battery out until the fuel line is dealt with. I did get the transmission cooler lines reconnected, replaced - with new WS - the drained atf, which I didn't really need to drain, but it was close to my scheduled change out anyway. I bent my A/C line at the bottom, where you did Trevor to take pressure off the hose, hooked up all the A/C lines, hooked up the evap lines and brake booster line. I also reinstalled the front crossmember. What slowed me down a bit was that I realized after most of the front was put back together that I had left the hood latch on the outside. After examining it, I realized (of course, silly me) that all I had to do was disconnect the cable and pass it back through.

The young fella is coming back tomorrow to help install the exhaust, so I maybe won't get to start it without exhaust after all. This fuel line is now what will hold me up. Oh, and I did source a low profile mini add-a-circuit today at the local parts store and for only $11.00 (school discount LOL). But, of course I forgot to get another low profile fuse. Of course, there were no spares in the under hood fuse box. Maybe there are in the inside fuse box. And I have double the chance, as I have two Yari!


Anyway, here is the current state of the car. This pic was taken before I moved the latch back inside and mounted it. Oh, and that fat short hose on top of the engine is just a remnant from the Yaris hoses.

You shouldn't need a mini fuse for the mini fuse tap. A regular fuse will work it will just extend out a little further that is all. Since it travels horizontally it won't interfere with th cover.

Triple check those a/c lines and make sure they are secure!

Hey Trevor. I actually picked up a low profile fuse on the way to work today. I was referencing your pic for placement in the fuse box and it didn't look like the non-low profile ones would fit due to an adjacent obstruction in the fuse box.

MAF Voltage question... When I was picking my fuse up, I was explaining to the counter guy what I was using this to power a MAF sensor. He advised that I not supply the MAF sensor with straight 12 volts and said it should receive about 5V. I know you guys have been wiring direct. Are there any issues with providing 12V directly to the MAF?

Thanks!

Zero issue what so ever. Iirc tom original thread stated that the maf needs to receive 12v power source not 5v

Great. Thanks. I was inquiring more out of interest as I would, without hesitation, take your guys' word over anyone elses'. You guys have proven that this all works.

If you follow the black power supply from the “air flow meter”(pg 3) back to the source, it’s supplied by the same EFI#1 fuse(pg1) as the B+ battery signal to the ECM.

The Good: It started after about 5 seconds of cranking. The engine runs very smooth and sounds good.

The Bad: 1) I have a battery light and 10.2 volts. EDIT: I now have less than 9 volts and the car won't turn over. I guess I'll take the alternator off and have it tested.

Could some of the other problems be caused by low voltage?

2) I'll let the picture do the talking.



I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

Hoping to get your advice/opinions, gents!

I'm pretty sure all the conectors are attached.

For the P0102, I'll check my connections again, clean the MAF sensor. I do not have a clamp on the intake tube at the throttebody, so maybe that's the problem.

Air fuel ratio looks good at around 14.7:1

Regarding the charging issue, I would follow this link and look at the image on page 62.

https://www.slideshare.net/crcs2009/...iring-diagrams

The battery light means there is less voltage at the regulator diodes than the battery. Pins 1&2 should both have battery voltage with the ignition on, if not the alternator will not charge. The other white #1 is the large cable to the battery and that should also have battery voltage.
------------------
The MAF codes I believe, are referring to an incorrect signal back to the ECM. Double check that you have 12v at the CENTER wire on the MAF plug, that should be the wire you applied the add-a-circuit to. Check that there is no pinch or fray damage to the MAF harness.
------------------
I'm gonna check on the other code, that's confusing...I'll return to edit

EDIT: I looked over Brushforhire's and my own swap thread, and yes the only wiring required to correct the P2770 is that the Blue wire(pin 9) is grounded EXITING the control plug(not the wire coming from the harness). Double check that the crimp and attachment to the trans is solid.

Thank you Tom!

The blue wire comes out of pin 10 on my connector unless I'm reading the diagram incorrectly. The connector in this pic below comes from my scionXd wiring diagrams.



I will follow up on your suggestions. Last night I went back out and unplugged and replugged the MAF sensor connector. I reset the codes and the only one that is returning is the P2770 code after 5 or 6 mintues of running. I had the battery connected with jumper cables to my van. Maybe it takes longer for the codes to set.

To add to this, my A/C compressor sounds really noisy, like a bearing is bad. It's like an unlubricated metal on metal sound.

I had so hoped that everything would be good on my startup. Looks like I still have some work ahead of me!

[tmontague]

I'd double check your ground on the trans. Use a multimeter or test light and make sure it is a good ground. If that's good then check the wiring.

Glad to hear the rest of the codes cleared up. Congrats on the start up, dont be upset about a few bugs that need to be worked out, its par for the course

14.6 Volts!!!! I will however put the battery on charge rather than expect the alternator to do that job.

I am going to sleep well tonight! Tomorrow I will do up the wiring on the trans plug. I still have the P2770 BUT I have neither wire grounded. Just so I'm clear, I should still ground brown wire#9, correct?

Soon it will be... except auto!

If you feel like an idiot it should only be due to not checking one of the simplest and earliest things mentioned to you when you first started the car - it would have saved yourself a lot of frustration and some of us a fair amount of time. You had to multimeter out and went to the trouble of testing wires in the harness all while neglecting to take the 10 seconds to check that the trans was grounded. Don't let that lesson go unlearned, it will help you when your wrench on cars in the future

Most of us were only able to do this swap because of the help of others, and I'm glad we were all able to help you out. Your trans code should clear once you connect and ground the proper wires. Definitely ground pin 9 that Tom mentioned, it is correct as per the ewd. Enjoy a weekend of hooning around a 2zr swapped Yaris!

Fair enough. I became hyper focused on extraneous aspects of the swap. Recall I said that I overthink things! LOL! EDIT: I did find your reference to checking the ground - post 244!

I do really appreciate all the help you guys have given me. Clearly, it wouldn't have happened without your help. I still have a decent list of things to do, including the A/C and exhaust. It's sounding like I'm going to have to replace my A/C compressor as I put the stethoscope on it and it's quite noisy - bearing I suspect.

^ This!

Glad you got it worked out man! As Trevor noted, find a quiet place and enjoy some honkin' on it; she goes, you smile - it's just the way it is.

If that's the worst idiot moment you have, you're probably doing ok. lol Might feel silly, but nobody got hurt and nothing blew up; pride heals.. although sometime it takes a while to live a good 'whoops' down.

Keep us posted how you make out with the rest of your list, and congrats on the hard work and perseverance!

Thanks you guys. You really take the edge off the worry. I have another thought. My CA2 connector may not be 100% seated. I recall it going in a bit hard and I taped it up too far, losing flexibility. Of course I'm at work and wanting to run out the door, go home and check it. I don't know if this has anything to do with the charging but I bet it might be the cause of the trans code. Probably all wishful thinking on my part, but nevertheless a place to check first.

[tmontague]

When you get home use a tool to read voltage while the car is running and push on the connector or wiggle it, see the voltage changes.

Until then accept what is and let it go. You'll be more fresh when you get back to the car

[atomic_hoji]

Man, you're doing great so far! Only a few little hiccups..

Tom and Trevor have already noted good troubleshooting steps, but if you are having alt. problems the low voltage could very well be tripping up those other systems. Between that and checking your grounds and/or soldered and wire connections I think you'll be in good shape.

A/C could be pulley bearing? Could squirt some lube and see if it quiets - would need replacing long run. I don't recall, but you're sure you have enough oil in it?

Keep at it! And no need to cry, laughing is always better - even at the bad stuff; everything can be fixed (some things just make a bigger mountain.. lol). Swearing and hitting it sometimes helps makes you feel better, but I've found rarely helps - and often ends up hurting..

Can you post a picture of the xD transmission diagram to verify? I don’t have access to any.

Hi Tom.

Here is a pic of my current connector with ground.

I'll post the requested diagram shortly - as soon as I figure out which one I need for you.



Here is the diagram. I can send you the pdf if that helps. Thanks!
