Ok, so, our shop did an ATX > MTX swap on a tC. We're now having issues starting the car.

Does anyone have experience with this? And does anyone know how to bypass the immobilizer??

Thanks,
Emilie

I've done a search, but I'm really not having much luck finding what we need!!! Any help would be very much appreciated. This guy wanted to pick his car up tonight, but it just doesn't look like that's going to happen!

 

ATX? MTX?

 

automatic to manual? wow....
did you swap the ECMs?

 

Yea, we swapped ECM's.

 

look up sp0t, hes did a auto-->manual swap successfully.

How much did all this cost u...

 

watching..

 

it didn't cost me anything.

We're charging the customer $4100, and it's taking about 2 days from pulling the car onto the lift, and getting it off. The longest part of this whole process was waiting for the donor-car to get delivered

 

It doesn't look like he's been online in over a month. I PM'd him and tried IM'ing him as well... hopefully he checks it.

 

lol o I thought you were getting it done on your car. Well I dunno who else has done the swap...

bumper for answers

 

like 2 or 3 other people according to the stickied post up top. I tried contact 2 of them, and I haven't gotten any answer, and neither of them have been logged on in nearly a month


I think we have a module coming in shortly, and I guess we'll try to make that work... I just wish I could get ahold of the people who have actually been through this already!! haha

 

wow i didnt know we were talking about transmissions... now i feel dumb

 

heh.. sorry 'bout that

 

heh.. sorry 'bout that

 

no one?! We've swapped ecu's back and forth, and the starter isn't even clicking... nothing. No ecu codes, but the check engine light is coming on...

 

wow um if you need help from a scion forum MAYBE you shouldnt be doing this to a customers car...

whats your shop?

just so i know never to go there

 

well... it seems the only issue we're having is with the immobilizer system... which was never really mentioned much in the threads we ran across prior to getting into this.

I assumed this was the place to go for scion technical information. I guess I assumed wrong?

 

eh sorry.. make sure the transponder is still working, maybe it's not your fault?? theres a TSB on how to reprogram the keyless entry / immobilizer for new keys and what not.. do you have access to alldata?

 

No, we don't. Apparantly Autozone owns alldata... and we have an account with them....

do you have a link for the how-to, by any chance?

 

iono i cant make sense of it

 

Where did you get this diagram? Alldata?

My boyfriend knows what all of that is.
