On Prius 2009 push to start when trying to program EVO-ALL yellow led start blinking and stays that way

Question

Please help with this matter. I own a Toyota Prius 2009 (JTDKN36U701024344) push to start and bought EVO-ALL (Service #: 001A06 465230) and Flash-Link-2 (Service #: 002502 016969) flashed the last firmware for my car and verifyed 10 times that wire connection are correct. Problem is that this model of Toyota seems to have kind of different ECU connections, as par example Rx is on pin 16 on L7 connector and Tx on pin 4 on the L7 connector. I hooked up the rest of wires accordingly to your schematics (A1 to red wire Ignition on the connector showed in schematics, and CAN high an low on pins 6 & 14 on OBD-II connector along withB4 on pin 16) the A14 wire not hooked up as my L7 connector is differend as I said before (also is white instead of black). Then followed programming procedure but instead of a fast blinking blue led on the x2 start push button I get a fast blinking yellow led. Please advise. A connection diagram for this specific car will be extraordinary.

Thank you for your time!

Best regards,

Lucian

Answer 1

Are you installing to start with 3x lock or using a seperate remote starter ? What is the guide number you are looking at for your install ?

If your vehicle is a 2009 you are looking at the wrong guide. 3x lock is not available for a 2009 you will need a seperate remote starter and follow this guide http://fortin.ca/download/3445/evo-all_toyota_prius_(2004-2009).rev-20110610.pdf

The vehicle is a 2010 according to the VIN so we stick with that.

 

As for the connections, it's possible that like the Toyota Corolla there is no wires in the pins for Rx and Tx. At the moment your connections are also on the wrong side of the connector. Take a look at the install diagram and then your L7 connector. The diagram shows a BACK view of the connector. Since there is no wires in both Rx and Tx, you will need to put wires in those empty pins.

 

See the picture. Your current connections go to the wrong locations.

My mistake was to think that if there are no wires and no pins to attach to ... then something is wrong. Tomorrow I will try to put A10 and A20 wires on the empy pins. Thank you!

Ya, the Toyota Corolla in North America is the same. The pins are empty so we must add wires to them. This is most likely the same thing with your Prius.

Thank you all for opening my eyes :) Everything now is ok and works properly. I can start the engine by 3x press close doors on my 2 buttons remote ;)

My mistake was to stupidly assume that my connector is not ok and try to figure out usig other schematics wich wire goes where. No wire in pin 4 and 16 and tought that i have to link to another wire. When using the pins stated in the Fortin schematics everything went PERFECT!

Best regards,

Thanks for the update and glad you got it up and running!

Your VIN number has an error in it, but if the car is a 2009 then you have to flash your evo-all for a 2009 as your evo-all is currently flashed for a 2010 and the install is completely different.
