Damn it feels good, virtually everything fits perfectly! However bad news is that the Aurion airbag don't fit :(

does it show any errors if that airbag not fitted ? or can you get away without it? dont want to comprimise safety without result.

Different shape - havent got the lexus airbag yet to test the plugs

a few developments, and one MAJOR snag.

Have ordered a lexus airbag, and after trying several different auto electricians this morning I finally found one with a plug with the correct pins to fit the clockspring plug (so I can connect up the paddles). Ran the wires to the gear selector, wired up the paddles in parallel, turned the ignition on and put it in S and YES the paddles worked perfectly!

HOWEVER

I went back 10 minutes later, started the ignition however S mode has disappeared!!! Everything is plugged in, but when you put the shifter into S mode after D, it stays in D. I've been testing all the plugs with a multimeter, and trying to find a fuse or relay that could possibly be related however nothing has appeared. Even tried disconnecting the battery, coming back 30 minutes later and still the problem remains. Does anyone have any idea of how I can fix this or even where to look? I'd hate to think I stuffed the ECU but all my work was done with the battery disconnected and not one did I apply any power to wires.

Been pouring over the factory manuals look but still haven't found the cause.

That's quite an interesting issue Steve. If I was working on it, I would try disconnecting either the shifter control or the steering wheel control to see if your issue is rectified. Gotta start somewhere I guess. At least that rules out whether it's a fault you can reverse, or if it's not going back to the way it was.

I have tried all combinations of leaving some things connected and unplugged other things etc, still can't get it to go into S mode. The whole S mode arrangement at the shifter is only 3 wires, which is for S-mode On, gear up or gear down. All of which work by grounding their respective wire in the loom when selected.

I've even tried grounding the S-mode on wire directly to try and trick into going into S-mode... no luck.

Do the error codes get cleared by unplugging the battery anyone? What I'm thinking now is that somehow it lodged an error code and as a result will not allow S-mode to activate until the code is gone (so logic error rather than wiring).

reset your ecu man

disconnect batt, stand on brakes/try and start the car, reconnect.

ECU reset didn't fix it. I'm completely out of ideas now. It seems as though I'll simply have to wait until it's on the road again (April-ish next year) and take it to Toyota to have them put that intelligence tester on it. At least I was able to confirm my wiring was correct before it **** itself.

I just don't seem to be having any luck with this swap.

In short I found I had actually blown a fuse under the dash, swapped it out and I have sequential mode again!!! :D

BUT

The steering wheel was grinding against the steering column plastic trim when turning. On closer inspection I've found that the steering wheel is actually warped and the left hand side is pushed back a bit, so it has to go back to the seller (USA) and hopefully a replacement can be sourced. Dammit!

Did you happen to try your paddles again after replacing the fuse? Wondering whether the fuse was blown when using the paddles?

Yep tried them several times both in s mode and in d , no issues.

Of interest, the resistor values in the steering controls is exactly the same as my stock aurion ones, which means this mod can be done with the stock radio in place

Also forgot to mention - the Lexus wheel is smaller than the Aurion one, and isn't completely round. It's oval shaped similar to a sports steering wheel, wider than it is high.

Different shape - havent got the lexus airbag yet to test the plugs

Just had a thought. Is the shape issue and overall thing, or just the different shape around the audio controls?

Wondering whether it would work by swapping out the Lexus audio controls for the stock Aurion ones?

Or maybe I should stop being such a cheapskate and buy the wheel and the airbag? :g:

There is no cheap way around it I'm afraid - even the controls are a different shape and won't fit.

Bugger. With the price of Lexus airbags, looks like I'll be going the "Mazda 3" method for now then.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
