now i got a question...

since people report the OBD network can report vehicle speed, this would NOT disable the "EVENT DATA RECORDER" device from properly recording the vehicles actual speed?

i put a toggle in and have the toggle on for about 20 min of driving and my check engin light shut off. there will still be a history code so befor you go to the dealer for work have somone delete your history codes. autozone will prob do it

Can you get to the violet with white strip wire at the ecu?

I am sure you can, but there might be more than one violet with a white stripe. There are only so many color combos. It is not that hard to get to it behind the cluster. I just put a toggle switch in today. It took me less that 10 min. to get to it because I had done it before. You HAVE to put a toggle switch in line with it and only flip the switch when you need to go past the govenor or you WILL get a CEL.

I have no idea. your light is not blown or anything, is it? There has been at least one other person here that got the same CEL that I got. When you turn your key to the on position, your CEL works, right?

rexrunner · Jun 9, 2007

yes it does , I dont know what it could be:dontknow:, I know that both of you are in germany, so maybe something diff in the wiring:hmmmm2:, I highly doubt that but who knows

both our trucks are from the states. There was another XR on this forum that got a cell. I thought it was in this thread.

willieshotg3 · Jun 12, 2007

it was i am from illinois i was the other one with the check engin light

rexrunner · Jun 12, 2007

where did you disconnect the wire? This is weird, why am I not getting one? :dontknow:

Matt's06 · Jun 12, 2007

I disconected mine at the cluster. What about you? Also my cruise does not work with it disconected.

rexrunner · Jun 12, 2007

I will check my cruise right now :top:

no check engine light, I am doing it to another X tomorrow so I will let you know but its also a 07 like mine if that matters

rexrunner · Jun 12, 2007

ok I just checked the cruise control numerous times in every gear except 1st. It works fine, but I noticed that whenever you press in the clutch it turns of the cruise control. can some one verify for me if thats normal? I also just maxed out 5th gear and just got it into 6th, and again no CEL:dontknow: I was prob going like 140 :driver: I dunno what the deal is but it works for me but I can re-verify it tomorrow :top:

X-Runnin · Jun 12, 2007

I haven't cut the wire yet, but I know that cruise control goes off when you press in the clutch:top:

rexrunner · Jun 12, 2007

ok good

DO NOT CUT ANY WIRES :ahhhhh:

this mod simply consist of removing a single pin from a connector, which can just be re inserted incase you ever need to bring it in for warranty work :top:

rexrunner · Jun 13, 2007

ok just did it again and topped out 6th gear on I-75. I estimate about 145 but I had no SG to confirm actual speed. I also did not get a check engine light, and the truck feels very stable at these speeds, kinda like my grandparents lexus :rock: . hopefully tomorrow I will do a fellow x runner owners to confirm it , and make sure mine isn't special before I can do a full write up

If you are talking about the cruise control cancelling when you push the clutch pedal in that is normal and also for safety to keep your engine from over revving.

rexrunner · Jun 13, 2007

ya thats what I thought but I just wanted to make sure, I really didnt know b/c Ive only used it once.

CursedRacing · Aug 21, 2007

Well, I decided to CUT the wire, because I CAN... ahaha... plus doing it this way allows me to put in a toggle switch that I can flip on, and off giving my needs. No check engine light, but can verify that the ScanGauge will most definitely NOT read your speed when the switch disengaged!

Wow, that is awesome. :top:
