i know the jdm ones have the power mode button and the uk ones have the economy button but ours have neither of them

so how does the power mode engage on the aust spec ones
(mine is weird it works most of the time under 80 kph , but no matter how many times i mash the pedal wont engage over 80 )
is there some other way to make it come on without the rom

The Aust PM works the same as the US PM, on the speed of the throttle movement. No other way.
I do have two spare Roms, one for the early pre 95, and one for post 95 Aust models. You have to fit a socket on the board to fit the rom.

First off, are these little plastic squares on the side of the connector the release tabs?


Here is where I'm inserting the nail/screwdriver:


And in this pic you can see that the tip of the nail is stopping on top of the little plastic square shown in the first pic:


Am I doing this all wrong? lol

Old thread, I know.... Is that a 10 pin plug? I ve pulled all three of the plugs out of my TCU and see no brown wire in 6th position, but... it looks like i have 2 16 pin connectors bookending an 8 pin connector.. GOING INTO A SILVER "BOX". Am I foraging in the wrong area?

your looking at the ecu if im not mistaken.

[simboglide]

k, the other box it is "mounted" to has large blue plugs.

Eh, I found it, just overlooked it, anyone have a picture of the female pin connecter so i can see which way the lock tab is positioned?

[simboglide]

Jimminy Christmas...I found the slot below the connector where the screwdriver should go in to depress the tab, no go!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[simboglide]

Anyone have or care to remove a connector and take a photo so i can see how the lock tab is situated?

[Coan]

If you are trying to remove the pin from the connector, those pics of mine that you quoted are good step by step instructions. Mine was jammed because I did it incorrectly the first time by trying to insert the nail into the side if the connector.

It may take some wiggling, but it should come out if you follow the pictures.

[simboglide]

I saw those except i think the slot you actually needed to release the tab is on the other side of the connector, just below it, as it were. That's why i want a picture of an actual terminal. I don"t want to destroy the housing trying to get a 17 cent terminal out of it.(great pics btw, just wish i could have saw the released terminal)

[simboglide]

Or are you 110% sure the lock tab was on the side you had the nail in? Because i have a jewels screwdriver and did run it all the way through and no, it did not release it.

[Coan]

Yeah I'm sure that the way the picture shows it is correct. I remember because I stuck the nail in the side at first and broke part of the housing right next to the release tab which is why I was having so much trouble with it...

[simboglide]

Alrighty... givin it another whirl right now.

[Coan]

IIRC, you don't need to stick the nail/screwdriver in any father than my picture shows, and once it's in there, just wiggle the wire in and out as you release the tab with the nail.

Still have some fiddling to do but,,,for future reference,,, a flat tipped nail goes through your finger easier than it comes out.
