Installation
- Remove the Negative Terminal from the battery on the Vehicle to be extra safe with electrical components, this is found in the boot/trunk of the car under the mat.
- Open the front bonnet and unplug the OEM Engine Ecu connectors as shown below.
- Unbolt the Factory Engine ECU and remove it from the engine bay.
- Remove the Factory ECU brackets which are shown below in yellow, these are needed for the Syvecs Corolla ECU.
- The Factory ECU will then look like the below and can be stored away safely as no longer used.
- Mount the factory brackets as shown below on the Syvecs Corolla Ecu.
- Plug in the 26Way connector into the back of the Syvecs Corolla Ecu and then mount it back in the OEM Location as shown below.
- Remove the OEM Lambda Sensor and Replace it with NTK Lambda. Connect the Lambda Loom from the 26Way connector on the back of the Corolla ECU into the NTK lambda.
- Head inside the car and remove the glove box compartment, this is done by removing the 2 screws in the bottom shown with the Red arrow.
- Next, look up inside the area open and you will find a blue joinerconnector. IMPORTANT: There are 2 blue connectors..You need the one with only 6 wires connected as shown below.
- Unplug the blue connector by lifting the tab shown below. DO NOT THROW AWAY THE BLACK CONNECTOR
- Plug in the Syvecs adaptor to the blue connector carefully and then connect the Red and Black wires from the Syvecs box to the 12v and Ground on the OBD2 connector as shown below
- Pin16 (OEM Black Wire) – 12v
- Pin4 (OEM White/Black Wire) – Ground
- LOOKING INTO FRONT OF OBD2 CONNECTOR
- You will need to T into these wires
- Secure the Syvecs Corolla Dash box and then refit the panels.
- Re-Connect Battery Terminals.
- Run the Ethernet cable into the Cabin bay to allow communications with the ECU.
- Proceed to Syvecs Help videos and Syvecs Manual on the Website.
Calibration Switching
- The OEM Cruise Lever can also be used for calibration Switching or for Traction Control adjustments in the Scal software. After the engine is running the tacho will show the position on the RPM. Call = 1000rpm, Cal2 = 2000rpm
- When changing Calibration the Speed Limit will be displayed on the dash which illustrates the Flex fuel content percent.
- + RES = Cal Up / Cruise Speed Up
- – SET = Cal Down / Cruise Speed Down
- CANCEL = Cal Override / Rolling Antilag / Overboost Button
- CRUISE ON = Cruise On Switch, Activates Cruise Control
Traction Control – Expert Mode
- The OEM traction button will change the TCSelect item in Scal when Expert mode is enabled.
- This will as standard in the base map cause the Syvecs Traction control strategy to be disabled.
- Calibrators can change this under Calibration Switches – Traction Control – Traction Control Gain Tuning.
Custom Features – Flex Fuel
Flex fuel is supported on the Syvecs Corolla Ecu, we recommend wiring the fuel
composition Sensor into the OEM Maf connector as the MAF is not used with
Syvecs Ecu. The Maf connector has a direct connection to input AN11 on the
Syvecs ECU as well 5v and Ground present on the connector. The FuelComp % will
be shown on the OEM Dash when changing the Calibration in the Cruise Speed
Window
- Wire the Flex Fuel as below
- vOut = Pin1 on Maf (AN11)
- Gnd= Pin2 on Maf (SensorGnd)
- VCC = Pin3 on Maf (5vOut)
- Pin 4 is a Spare thermocouple input AN24
Sequential Gearbox Wiring
- The Syvecs Corolla kit fully supports sequential gearbox control, if you are planning to run with a pneumatic paddle shift setup then it will need a flag enabling on the ECU which is an extra cost.
- If its just a load sensor and gear barrel then this is all enabled with the standard Plug in license using our closed-loop gear cut and blip strategies.
- The load cell sensor should ideally be a resting 2.5v device and then move around this rest voltage depending on the direction of the load applied.
- On the additional 26way header you can find spare inputs and outputs which can be used for gear position sensor, load cell, paddles, and compressor control.
Additional I/O – 26Way Header
