cheers rusty but by the looks of your climate control it is the wrong type as mine has 2 wiring plugs on the back of it, hence why you could find the wires.

BSD

if your system has the 2 orange plugs then there is only one wire i need to know for sure.

behind the heater control and lower down are three multiplugs attached to the heater box from left to right they are Black, white, grey. may be opposite if left hand drive.

on the black plug on the bottom row there is an orange wire i need to make sure this has continuity to the orange wires on the blue plug above and to the right(RHD) of the centre vents.


on rusty's pictures you can just see the white plug behind the mass of loose wires from his stereo, on the 2 orange plug system there are 3 plugs there.

also the place the orange wire should go is above the stereo and central vents near the windscreen you will see the blue connector block on the right(UK)

It does. The wire runs up to that junction block and has its own pin. There is also a splice in that wire, about 150mm before the blue junction block. The spliced wire runs off to the passenger footwell on my RHD car. I forget where it goes after that but have some notes somewhere if you can't work it out.

The grey wire is ACC. It is 0v with ignition off and 12v with the key in the ACC or IG (I) positions. From memory it is N/C with they key in the ST(II) position but that's not imporant. I don't recall if it connects to ACC before or after the cig&radio fuse but could find out for you if needed.

The green/red wire is ECU-B. It is constant 12v and goes to the fused side of the 15A ECU-B fuse. Again, if you want to know exactly where the wire *should* terminate (as oppsoed to just splicing it into any convenient ECU-B wire) let me know and I'll try to find my notes.

Rusty: Yup, you do need all three of those sensors. From previous posts, it sounds like cavegod has them.

Cheers BSD so i have wired it correctly, i just used the easiest 12v perm live i could find.

anyway got the system gassed to day for free (read my thread on ccuk) and i now have ice cold air!!!

thanks to all who have helped me install this system.

next mod is gt4 front end conversion.

Awesome news! Now, any idea why my air con doesn't work? The light comes on for both the ac and eco positions but I can't hear any relays clicking (not sure if I should). All other functions work.

I have two wires unconnected. There is a little black plug under the aircon blower. Among others, it has a yellow wire and a blue/yellow wire.

I believe the blue/yellow goes to the ECU - but which pin? I think it is either C22.17 [ATS] (if the other end goes to ac amp) or F12.2 [CF] (if other end goes to engine bay).

Where does the yellow wire from that same plug go?

Does the ACA function of the ECU need to be connected to something?

with engine running, look at the compressor and see if the centre is stationary? if so press the A/C button and then look and see if it is spinning?

if not, remove the pressure switch plug and connect the two terminals together yellow/red+ purple white does that do the trick?

oh BSD could you tell me where the pink/blue wires goes? it is spliced to the pink/blue wire from the auto amp to the ac amp?

The centre is always stationary. Is the pressure switch this? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/cave...hoto-0001-1.jpg I think my wiring colours are different. It is getting too dark to try now so will look at this tomorrow morning.

The pink/blue from the A/C amp goes to the black plug at the bottom of the centre console. The pink/green from the A/C amp also goes to the black plug (adjacent pins). From the black plug the colours change. The wires go to the heater mixer actuator by the driver's left foot (for RHD cars; passenger's left foot on LHD cars).

yep thats the pressur switch just conect the opposite wires together the outer two are to turn the fans of when air con aint fitted. if the centre of the clutch aint spinning there will be no cold air, connecting the pressure switch will cure that problem.

as for the pink/blue it gives a 12v when the econ or ac buttons are pressed. from my wiring i got off the jdm it went to a multi plug and ended there. there was no wire on the other plug just an empty hole where the wire would be.

Okay, I'll check it out tomorrow and post an update. Which multi-plug had the hole where the wire should be?

dunno will have to look in the morning, i think it was one of the three plugs below the cc unit, the three vertically.

wow so you have 2 sets of wires coming out the back of your control panel? why would you need 2 and is there any difference between mine and yours?

I think you have air conditioning. The temperature dial is mechanical, moving a mixer control in the engine bay. The JDM cars had full climate control where you set the electronic dial to a specific temperature (say 22c). The system then automatically moves the mixer control back and forwards to maintain the temperature you specified. The second loom carries all the signals to do that plus signals for the extra temperature sensors needed to make the system reliable.

Yes, that causes the compressor to start running, the IAC to move and the revs to increase. I haven't actually left it running long enough to confirm whether it is actually blowing cooled air or not.

Does that mean that my pressure switch has failed?

Regarding the pink/blue wire:

The pink/blue from the A/C amp goes to the black plug at the bottom of the centre console. The pink/green from the A/C amp also goes to the black plug (adjacent pins). From the black plug the colours change. The wires go to the heater mixer actuator by the driver's left foot (for RHD cars; passenger's left foot on LHD cars).

Have you fitted the actuator and its wiring? It is different to UK wiring.

yep i have fitted the entire system minus the blower box, i will take pictures now and post them up.

Rusty the facelift jdm cars only have 1 wire plug on the back the system is the same though just ain't worked out how different the wiring is.
Ok BSD here you go

here is my jdm compressor with the uk wiring plug and yes i am missing the 4th wire yellow/black it conects to a cylinder on the back of the compressor near the exhaust and then earths.



here is a pic of my throttle position sensor am i missing a wire?



ok inside the car now the big multiblock connector on the top of the evap housing

JDM



UK minus the red/yellow (pressure switch) and blue/yellow (compressor relay earth)



heres both the uk and jdm relay side by side both identical even part no.s



this is the pink/blue wire



it goes to here which i think is one of the three vertical connectors below the radio



as you can see that is where it stops



right that just leaves the multi plug below the evap

this is the climate control side female plug



uk male side



jdm male side



jdm and uk side by side 'jdm plugged in'



so as you can see i have 2 wires not connected the yellow/black (compressor) and the blue/ yellow which is 12v live and according to th ewiring diagram goes to the ecu 'ATS'

so if i connect the yellow/black to the compressor where does the throttle position sensor wire connect to as i only have the 12v blue/yellow not connected?
ok so i have connected the yellow/black to the compressor and didn't see any difference to the CC so dunno what it does.

oh and the reason why my pressure switch didn't work properly is because the connector pins on it where not making a good contact.

Mine is the same:


Here is the coil of wire ready to connect if needs be:

No. The blue/white wire turns out to be for cruise control. It goes through the grey connector vertically mounted at the bottom of the centre console, snakes around the driver's side of the dashboard, goes through one of the white connectors on the passengers kick panel and ends up at pin 19 (21 according to the wiring diagram - maybe I miscounted) of the green cruise ecu connector.

The fast acting relay:


The black connector at the bottom of the centre console:



The other side of it:



For completeness, the white connector next to it:




The grey connector joining the engine bay loom to the cabin loom - vertically mounted at the bottom of the centre console:

I think you can forget about the throttle wire until you come to do the cruise control.

you have 2 dead picture links,

where does the blue/ white throttle wire go to?
yep just checked my pink blue wire is the same but i have that pink blue splice for some reason.
ahh fast acting relay you me the power transistor, round thing on the evap housing?

i have located the ecu pin for the blue/yellow ats wire!
ok so the blue/yellow wire for the ecu goes here

4th ecu plug



this pin out right below the green/yellow



it earths about 3-4V's

i have connected it up and car still runs dunno what it does but its connected so i now have every wire connected although the system will work with a few missing lol

Awesome! So to recap:

* We know where the blue/yellow wire goes
* We think the yellow/black wire from black multi-plug below the evap / between blower and heater is for the MGV function of the compressor
* The blue/white throttle wire is a red herring. It is needed for cruise control but not climate control.
* On both your car and on my car it seems necessary to short out the pins on the pressure sensor to get the compressor to work.

Unanswered questions:
* Does the last point mean that on both our cars, the pressure sensor has failed?

Other observations:
* The wiring of your grey vertically mounted multi-plug is quite different to mine.

New questions:
* What are the colours and locations of the two wires that run to your outside temperature sensor?

Right well i thought i would wright a how to so here goes

you will need.

JDM parts

A/C fan

A/C compressor



smooth pulley for 3gse

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/cavegod/Photo-0051.jpg

longer drive belt

A/C pipe work



A/C radiator

3 relays

heater duct assembly

evapourater housing

temp mixer cable



ambient temp sensor

cabin temp sensor



solar sensor middle one



Climate control unit



CC wiring



you will need the wiring on the evap and heater duct assemblies





if your car has Air conditioning you will need to swap a few things but for this mod take it as having no air con at all, the celica gen6 should have the wiring in place for normal aircon system so to make sure check for a few things

behind glove box should be a large multiplug above the blower duct and a multiplug below blower ducting both will be taped to the wiring loom in the respective places. in the engine bay you should check for a grey connector taped up near the diagnostic port and one taped to the wires on the radiator pipe from the thermostat, and last but not least a plug taped up near the left hand relay box.

once you have made sure you have them away we go!

remove the dash board



with the dash board out of the way remove the metal tubular frame as well, then you can get to work.

remove the following

in engine bay disconect the heater hoses and mixer cable

in the car remove the blower ducting and the heater duct assembly

with those out the way you can start the install

fit the JDM heater duct assembly thread the mixer cable through to the engine bay and heater hoses, then bolt it in and connect th ecable and hoses to their respective places.

next remove the blanking panel from the bulk head and then bolt the evap housing in place. in th eengine bay fit the JDM plate over where the Evap pipe work enters the engine bay.



then fit all the engine bay A/C parts just a matter of bolting them in place, compressor torque is 25nm and all A/C pipes are 10nm. fit the A/C fan to the radiator using the three bolts and then plug it in as well as plugging in the compressor and the pressure switch. thats the engine bay done. next up is wiring the beast in!

onc you plug all the multiplugs in you will be left with a few wires that need connecting.

the following wires just need removing from the CC multiplugs and then the relevant wire from the old system pushing in.

CC unit orange multiplug

GREEN - lights
GREEN/WHITE - lights

Middle white plug

BLUE/WHITE - heater relay



large plug at top of evap

BLUE/YELLOW - compressor relay
RED/YELLOW - pressure switch



the next set of wires need connecting to the following

GREY - ACC
GREEN/RED - Batt+
WHITE/BLACK - earths

multiplug below the evap



you will notice 2 wires missing from this plug we need to add them so you will need to remove the wires from the JDM plug YELLOW/BLACK & BLUE/YELLOW



clip them in the correct place on the cars plug and then connect

YELLOW/BLACK - compressor
BLUE/YELLOW pin16 of the 4th ecu plug directly below th egreen/yellow wire.

that should be all the wires connected but you will need swap a few wires over for the blower motor depending on how you have done it.



run 2 wires to the ambient sensor on the A/C rad and connect to the ambient sensor wires on the CC.

lol I have CC thats why I was trying to help cavegod.


hmm you might be right about facelift JDM wiring...

ST202 SS-II CELICA threadNew Zealand members check inSticky thread's: How to contribute and troubleshoot.
which wire controls the idle when the a/c is engaged? i think thats the wire im missing when i did my 3sge swap on 6th gen,
im pretty sure i have 2 plugs on the back of my climate control too???

hey while you're in there, i'm doing the exact opposite. you're putting in , im taking out.

what kinda AC-only related doo-dahs have you come across so far that i can bin??
