DIY HKS Turbo Timer Type 1 Install
13 Attachment(s)
This is a DIY for HKS TT type 1 install with a plug n play harness from Ptuning. This Install was done on a 2008 Scion tC. First of all, I am NOT responsible for what you or this aftermarket part does to your car. Unless you are completely comfortable with tearing things apart, DO NOT PROCEED. * ALWAYS keep hardware (bolts, nuts, screws, anything) in a SAFE PLACE. Tools you'll need: - Screwdrivers, Phillips and Flathead. - Socket wrench and socket set. Step 1 Disconnect your battery. Step 2 Remove two screws on the steering column cover, and pull off the bottom cover as shown in the picture highlighted in red. Attachment 107867 Step 3 Remove the fuse cover as shown in the picture below by pulling off. Attachment 107868 Step 4 Removing shift gate cover and the cover with the cup holders. 1. Begin by removing your shift knob. Remember, "Lefty loosey." 2. Remove the shift gate cover, there are four points which you will want to pry with a Flathead. I have marked the area with a red arrow in the picture below. Before pulling the cover up and away there is a wire that is plugged into the cigarette lighter, go ahead and unplug the wire from the cigarette lighter before removing the cover away from the area. Attachment 107869 3. Remove the cup holder section, by doing the same procedure that you did with shift gate cover. The four points which you will need to pry, are in the similar location as the shift gate cover. Step 5 Remove the ignition harness clip, from the ignition connector. Attachment 107870 Step 6 Mount your TT brain box, and TT controller panel in a location that you want it in. It is best to keep it in an area where your plug n play harness can reach ignition harness connector. Make sure that you connect your TT controller panel to your TT brain box once you have mounted both items to it location. In the picture below is where I mounted my TT brain box and controller. Attachment 107871 Step 7 Connect your plug n play harness to your TT brain box, and run it to the ignition harness connector. Attachment 107872 Step 8 Connect your plug n play harness to the ignition harness clip, and connector as shown in the picture below. Attachment 107873 Step 9 Run your parking brake wire which is gray from your TT brain box to your E-Brake, and splice the wire into your E-Brake wire with a splice connector as shown in the picture below. Attachment 107874 Step 10 Take your ground wire which is black, and connect a ring terminal to the end of the wire. Then unscrew the nut which is located in the fuse area, and run your ground wire to the stud which you pulled the nut off from. Place the ring terminal on to the stud, and screw the nut back on to the stud as shown in the picture below. Attachment 107875 Step 11 Removing your glove box. 1. Open the glove box and push on both sides toward the middle of the box and pull towards you lightly to release the box. Shown in picture below. Attachment 107876 Attachment 107877 2. Rotate the glove box downward to gain access to the hinge. Squeeze the plastic hinge together and push away from the supporting rod. Shown in picture blow. Attachment 107878 3. Remove the glove box. Step 12 Run both RPM signal lead wire, and your speed signal lead wire from your TT brain box to your ECU. Step 13 1.connect your RPM signal lead wire which is brown to your ECU RPM signal wire which is black with a splice connector as shown in picture below. 2. Connect your speed signal lead wire which is blue to your ECU speed signal wire which is purple with a spice connector as shown in picture below. Attachment 107879 Step 14 Connect your battery. Step 15 Start up your car, and check to see if your TT is running proper. Step 16 Once everything is good to go, put back to gather your glove box, steering column cover, and your fuse cover. |

Nice DIY
The wiring for an RPM signal will be different for an 05-06 than an 07-09. For wiring for both, go here: http://www.dezod.com/tech_notes.cfm |

If you have a plug n play harness for your fic the wires should still be in the same location but on the plug n play harness,or you can splice it into the car harness before it goes into your plug n play harness. |
do you really have to disconnect the battery what would happen if you dont

Its a safety precaution, so you don't miss something up or get shocked some how. |
I installed mine in the '06, works OK.
Only problem is that it isn't reading the speed wire properly. I followed the manual that came with the TT. It runs about twice the speed it should be when compared to my speedometer. |
Did the TT harness come with the kit when u purchased it? i keep looking for the hks TT and none of them seem to have the harness included in the package?:confused:
|
Ptuning sells the PNP harness ^^
|
Yes!!! Sweet! I found it... lifesaver right there ^^^:bow: thanks
|
PTuning said they won't have this in stock for a month. Sucks, I just got my Turbo Timer yesterday.
|
Wonderful DIY w/pics.
I will make it a Sticky. :) |
