Cranky's 2ZR-FE swap - Toyota Yaris Forums

froger · 04-16-2016, 06:13 PM

In Canada most all Toyota's after 2007 came equipped with a immobiliser,I though initially it was just a matter of buying a American xd ECU with out a immobiliser but failed.(car no start)
After some research found that on immobiliser and non immobiliser engine wiring harness are the same but the body wiring harness is different,figure there is something in the harness that tells the engine ECU that there is a immobiliser ecu.didn't want to deal with dissecting harness so ended up changing engine ECU ,immobiliser ECU and keys( had to change second gen g keys).
NOTE: if you doing the swap don't use yaris shift cables,there too short(they will work),The new mounts push the tranmission forward by 2 inches ,ended up ripping out the studs off the body which hold the cables,two holes in body had to weld the studs back in.
