2005 Echo RS Cluster in a 3DR 2004 Echo Liftback .

[Ryze268]

Hey guys,

I've been following this thread for a while, very good information to be had here.

I'd just like to confirm something from the .pdf CTScott provided.

I have a 2000 Vitz that came automatic, I converted it to Manual and I am trying to install a tach.

In the .pdf it says the tach signal comes from the Black wire on the C13 connector, is this true?




The part number for my cluster is 83800-52110

Thanks,
-Justin

I'll answer that if you don't mind.

C13 ( Black ) is the tach signal and to get my 05 Tach to work in my 04 I took the signal on the OBDII port that is also the black wire and hooked it up to the Black wire on the C13 connector.

This is a very easy swap if you take your time.

That's what I'm confused about, my cluster didn't come with a tach gauge but I'm seeing the black wire in my C13 connector.

Can I pick up the tach signal from that wire? My Vitz is JDM so it doesn't have an OBDII port

You should be able to use that wire for your tach. The pin on the OBD connector where that wire goes to for US and Canadian cars is an unused pin for OBDII communications. Toyota just happens to bring the pulsed tach signal to that pin.
