2016 Tundra-wired system according to instructions no power.

Question

Wired system. Double checked all connections using voltmeter to make sure they had power/continuity. When I go to begin programming phase there is no lights on Evo One at all. Unit connects and flashes correctly to flash-link manager just fine. I made sure there was power to red 12v and that there was a good ground.

Answer 1

The Evo-One only needs 12v and ground to be able to select the programming mode, (release on red and blue) Please try to reflash the bypass side of the evo (connection mode: bypass) with the proper firmware and try to select mode again in the vehicle.

 

Please post your 12 digit service number so we can take a look at your flashed firmware and options.

 

Thank you,

My service Number is 002B03 034108 The unit connects to Flash-link and flashes fine. But when plugged into vehicle with T-harness there appears to be no power (no lights at all). I have verified I have power at the 12volt red wire and that my ground is good.

Also forgot to mention that the current install instructions call for firmware 79.20. There is not that firmware option to update to.

---

79.20 is the minumn, just use the latest recommended (79.XX)

 

If you simply plug power to the unit in the vehicle without pushing any buttons, what do the three LEDs do o nthe top of the unit? (Plug in only the main 6-pin harness with the bigger wires)

 

Note that for the actual programming, you need to press and hold the little programming button on the back of the unit before inserting the main harness, it is not the Valet button that plugs into the 2-pin port that you should be pressing.

---

The unit does nothing. No lights light up at all.

---

With only the main 6-pin, all three leds needed to start flashing together for about 22 seconds. The unit does this on all power ups when power/ground is connected and the "bypass" portion is not programmed.

 

Could be one of two things the problem here:

1. No power or no ground.

2. Remote starter firmware (not to e confused with bypass firmware) is corrupt and needs to be re-flashed. (latest version is 1.20)

 

To update the remote starter firmware, you'll notice a Toggle button in your Flash-Link Manager program on the bottom right corner, clik it so that the connection mode changes to Connection Mode: Remote Starter. Once it says Connection Mode: Remote Starter, connect your EVO-ONE to the Flash-Link device. (do not toggle between both modes while the unit is connected to the flashing device).

---

Looking at your service number here: http://ca.fortin.ca/en/support/002b02034108/ it would seem like either the bypass firmware is corrupted this can be caused by clicking on the "toggle" button while the evo unit is plugged into the Flashlink Updater-2.

 

Here is one test you can do:

 

1, With nothing connected to the Flashlink Updater-2, click on the Toggle button to switch connection mode to :remote starter.

2. Push and hold the programming button on the evo-one and plug the datalink cable from the Flashlink Updater-2

3. The 3 leds on top of the unit should cycle, if it does then release on red, then push an hold the programming button again until all 3 leds flash one after the other in sequence.

4. If the leds do not cycle when doing step 3,  then unplug the evo unit, click on toggle to switch back to connection mode: bypass and replug module and re-flash bypass firmware.

Thank you,

okay, so I got the unit programmed correctly. It still would not get any power or anyhting using the T-harness. So, I temp wired the unit with the included wires directly to the ignition harness (per install guide) and unit performs as expected. Vehicle starts, etc...i am using option 2.1 for this configuration (per install guide) and was using option 2.4 with the T-harness (and getting no power).

 

Also, on a side note..when using the config without Tharness, the truck starts, but will not shut down once key is turned to on position then back off. I have to disconnect the ground wire in order for it to shut truck off.

I am wondering if your T-harness pin out at the connector that plugs into the EVO-ONE may be wrong?? Is the red wire the t-harness in the same pin location as the regular harness? Yu can post a picture of the harness here if you like. Ideally the end that plugs into the EVO-ONE, wire side.

This ones easy. Cycling the key simply on-off does not disable the remote start. Remote starters disable when the brake is pressed. So, remote start, turn key to on, then press the brake. You will notice the RED led will turn off after pressing the brake. The car would then shut off when turning the key off.

I will post a picture after I take it back out (been a long day). But no, the red wire is where the white wire is and the ground is where the, I believe yellow is. The only two that are correct are the pink and orange wires. Well, correct as far as teh original harness is concerned. If I arrange the pins to match, will I still use option 2.4 as per the install guide with T-harness, or will I use option 2.1 as per the install guide without T-Harness?

---

One other small note. When the alarm triggered the lights flashed but there was no output from the horn (or the beeping noise thing Toyota's have) while it was going. Did I miss a setting or something?

---

The horn needs to be connected if you want it to sound, it's not controlled via data like other functions are. There's an output dedicated to (-)Horn trigger on the EVO-ONE; Orange/Black wire from the 20-pin connector. (the Quick install guide that was in the box has the pin out config. of that 20-pin connector).

 

The way the T-harness is setup, it will need option 2.4.

I definitly want a picture of that 6-pin t-harness connector (end that plugs into the unit) if the pin out looks wrong. Might be easier just to send it over to support@ifar.ca . We'll send you the correct pin out afterwards if it is indeed wrong.

---

I emailed a picture of my T-harness pin out

Got it thank you!

The Red & White wires are definitely reversed.

The Black & Yellow wires are definitely reversed.

Once those pins are put back in their proper locations, simply enable option 2.4 and you should be up and running.
