i know that typically, the purple/white wire is the speed sensor input for the engine ECU (at least this is how it is for all the 4ag motors, and 3sg motors that i've played with), and this signal is normally a pulse.
I know that the 1UZ is pretty crazy with all its wiring and controls, but typically this purple/white wire is just a pulse input to the engine ECU, and in the cases i've had, it usually comes from the instrument cluster, driven by the electronic speedo dial (which gets it signal from the electronic speedo drive).
I dont really know if im helping at all now....
Anyway, good luck Dave, one day i'll do this all myself and learn what's going on there....

argh...so much confusion!
That's what I thought about the purple white wire. Do you know if that wire is a 4 pulse per revolution wire? If so then I have a cheat's way to sort this out.
I need to find a half dismantled Crown UZS131 halfcut. Quickly.

on the AE101 and AE92 rollas, yes it is a 4 pulse per revolution thing.
Hence some people with 20V's hook up a 2 pulse per revolution with magnets and reed switch (could use hall effect sens of course) to give the ECU a speed signal to obtain full RPM ability and remove the 180kph speed cut. Just what you are thinking i bet!
I do remember a black/oragne wire in my travels, but i cannot remmeber what for.
Give MOS a call.. its always good to bug him

Yeah 4 pulses/rev for the sensor going to ECU.
The one that goes to the dash is 20 pulses/rev and is then divided down to 4p/r and sent to the ECU. This is the main sensor which is used. If it fails the ECU then uses the sensor which goes straight to it.

That's good news all. I will check on a friend's half cut on the weekend, but failing that, I will plug in an ST141 speed sensor.
Thankyou very much.

Grant = lifesaver.
Thankyou very much.
Just to clarify I would hook up the reed switch wire to the SP1 wire that would ordinarily come out of the ABS? (I have no plans to run ABS.)
Cheers Dave.
Sorry if this is really elementary - I'm a Crown driver and this is well beyond the limits of my electronics knowledge. I'm more used to shorting out terminals with coat hangers to get 2Ms running.

Yep, exactly Dave. Run the wire from the ecu directly to the reed switch. As for the magnet, I find the jaycar ones work best. They are very powerful and small (about 6mm diam).

yep.. we call them the "rare earth" magnets. And by golly they are freaken strong.
Grant, so this reed sensor is basically just a reed switch? In which case you could use any off the shelf reed switch to obtain the same result (just without the useful casing)?
And im assuming of course that you have the reed switch switching 12V to the ECU (using a NO reed).
I ask because there are a lot of people with 4A-GE 20V's who want do this when converting into an AE82 or AE92 (carby model) so that they get full RPM ability from the 20V.

As it turned out Allan had a stockpile of dead 5MGE and 7MGE autos in his garage. Confirmed they were reed switch style speed sensors. He whipped off the extension housing and removed the speedo drive gear (retained by circlip and little steel ball) and aluminium magnet retainer (kept in place with a little Woodruff key). Brought it around, confirmed the extension housing was almost identical, whipped off the Crown auto extension housing, removed the Crown auto 20 toothed chopper wheel and speedo drive, replaced the chopper wheel with the rotating magnet assembly and whacked it all back together. Spun it over and yep one pulse per revolution.
Just what the doctor ordered.
Did a quick search on the EPC. All these bits should be readily available at wreckers but should you desire new bits, here are the part numbers.
Rotating magnet assembly: 89414-30020
Speed sensor: 89411-22060 or 89411-22061

i do have these devices that have 4 pulses every revolution
u unscrew cable speedo from gbox
screw this device in
then screw yr cable for the speedo back into the device
the device has 12v earth and a pulse wire
this way u can send a signal to the ecu and yr speedo cable works at the same time
this is only good if yr speedo is cable driven
theyre 150 bucks

Interesting that the 5M/7M rotating magnet interchanged with the 1UZ. I didn't bother suggesting that as I didn't think it would swap over. Don't you just love Toyota engineering!

It's a great result! What pleases me the most is that it is a visually appealing, tidy, entirely factory solution.
Of course, in doing this I wrecked the extension housing gasket. I have ordered another so when I replace it this arvo, I'll take some pics and post them up.

Extension housing gasket

Rotating magnet assembly. One lobe has a magnet peened into it whilst the other lobe is a counterweight. It fits exactly where the chopper wheel originally went.

A pic of the magnet.

The multi toothed chopper wheel. Sorry for the crappy pic.

Speed sensors. The single wire sensor is the reed switch speed sensor, whilst the 3 wire sensor is what is fitted to the Crown UZS131 A340 gearbox.

Finished job. Looks stock as a rock. Even the dark green wire lined up in the plug! I can even use the 1966 Crown speedo cable.

Thanks to everyone for their valuable input!

Shouldn't that be 4 pulses per revolution for 1uzfe ECUs.
This is what all the manuals claim. 4pulses/rev for the backup/no1 sensor which goes straight to the ECU and 20pulses/rev for the main/no2 which goes to the dash and then divided by 5 and sent to the ECU.

hey kdog ive been havin issues with my 1uz
but sort of know how it all goes
on a crown it has like 20 pulses every rev that goes to the speedo
then the speedo sends 4 pulses every rev to the engine ecu and the auto ecu
speed sensor no2 is different im not to sure on how many pulses but this is 3 wire sensor and it sends the signal to the abs computer the signal then comes out of the abs computer
im not to sure in what form
as i am goin to try hook up the abs ecu just for this
i tried bypassing the abs ecu and runnin the speed sensor no2 straight to the auto ecu but the ecu still brings up a code 61
which is speed sensor no2
hopeffully in afew weeks i can figure it all out

Yeah I could sort it all out in a flash if I had a half cut to work from. I haven't had one at my disposal for about 4 years so everything I know is from memory or rough notes I took when I setup the bench testing unit for the ECUs.
If you wanted to run the auto I would take the signal from the speed sensor that goes to the dash. Remove the 20 pulse wheel and cut it back to only 4 teeth then use this. It should work.

Yeah it reduces the engine power when going through gear changes to prevent too much shock on the gearbox (wear on clutches). Guess it doesn't consider 80% - 90% to be too much power. Standard for most auto toyotas.

error code 61 is the No2 speed sensor. I wonder if you put the speed sensor into the other speed input on the ECU if the error code would switch to 42 (the No1 speed sensor error code).
If it does and still runs normally then it would be a good indication that the ECU is not receiving the correct number of pulses/rev for the other input.

i tried that
i put the 4 pulses into the abs no2 speed sensor
stupid thing would not change gears
there is afew things maybe conributing to all this
i dont know why but
i am using the factory hilux speed sensor in gbox and the speedo reads out
nothin i have done explains y
unless the worm drive on the crown gbox is different gearing/angle than the hilux auto
but y would toyota do that
so my speedo reads out by about 20kms at 100
so the speed no1 and speed no2 wont read that smae percentage
the ecu will read both speeds and see one is out
so im goin to fix the speedo to read accurately then see
atleast its a good learnin thingy
and i will dummy fit the abs ecu and see if that gets rid of fault

another thing is

start car dirve for long time i get no errors
once i turn car off for abit
then restart it i get the error straight away
ive been told this is when the car does its routine diagnosis maybe
anyway it drives ok but it would be nice to fix all error codes
so i can help people for future refence as ive got some 1uz autos to do in comin months
wiring up the crown ecus for auto is like wiring 2 and a half ecus

Yeah I guess the ABS ECU must modify the speed signal before it goes to the ECUs. Maybe it divides it down by some factor. It would be nice to get into a running half cut and measure everything.
If you have a standard crown then its not usually a problem you either use the dash or a speed drive with only 4 pulses/rev and ignore the error code for the other speed sensor not being there. Which Speed inputs are yours going to SP or SP1?
Gianttomato,
Does you car drive OK with only the 1pulse/rev drive in it? Which speed input is this going into SP or SP1.
I wonder if anyone in the ACT has one I could look at, might have to do some investigating.

The speedo being out is probably because of tyre changes, diff ratios etc. Did the dash have a 4pulse/rev input before?
I may have an ABS ecu around, although I probably binned it in one of my cleanups. I'll have a look we may get lucky.
Do you have an oscilloscope? I would like to get a hold of a running half cut so I measure everything.
Also wouldn't mind having a look at that crown manual.
Don't know when i'll be up in Sydney next.
If I come up soon i'll might try and organise a meeting with a running half cut so I can measure everything.
Cheers

while everyone is being so forth coming with this awesome info, can someone answer this:
What signal does a MKIV supra W58 put out?? is it the 4 or 20 pulse/rev signal.
I need to know so when I pull the BMW diff out and put the supra one in my speedo will no longer work and i'll need to get creative with the speedo signals from the toyota GB to make the BMW speedo work.

Well Cambelt (Dave) and I had a play on his intact Crown halfcut today. The purple and white wire gave 1 pulse per tailshaft revolution. We couldn't muster any activity from the orange and black wire (the one from the ABS).

well not to sure if that is correct
my speedo which is a factory hilux electronic has a 4p on the b back
this means 4 pulses every rotatio of the speedo cable
this is what sp1 needs
make sure yr speedo reads accurate as it affects the auto changing
sp2 on the other hand is different it has alot of signals per
rev of the output shaft
this then gets sent to the abs ecu then to the auto ecu
i want to try and figure how to get rid of abs ecu
u dont need this sensor to get auto workin correctly
but u will have anoyyin o/d light comin up with code 61

I have the opposite problem.
As I've used the A341 trans from the half cut, the late crown has four channel ABS and therefore puts out 4p/rev from the transmission using a four tang chopper wheel instead of the 32 tooth abs chopper in the cressida. At present my ABS is disabled but I will be changing over sendors and choppers in the next week or so.
The only thing I have to confirm is that the ABS computer does actually divide the signal down to 4p/rev from 32p/rev. The factory manuals are conflicting in that the section covering ABS shows a violet/white wire from pin 15 going back to the engine ECU, but the full wiring diagram at the back shows it going to the speed sensor as an invisible fourth connection on the three pin plug to the sensor (both US and OZ manuals).
I'm really hoping Toyota just had a major cut and paste problem when they put this together.
Have you tried grinding off the extra teeth on the abs chopper to bring it down to four per rev? This would avoid having to muck around with the ABS ecu if you don't need it.

so u have measured the signal comin in to the crown abs computer
and the signal coming out
i tried fitting the sp1 to sp2 and the thing would not change gears
the manuals for cressida are funy in this section
the only way to understand it is to cut open the loom
i have afew times and slowly gettin hang of it but i have not time to figure it out properly to get abs to work on cressida after a 1j or 1u conversion
but if u can garantee that there is 32 pulses in to abs ecu and only 4 pulses out of the ecu then i can try afew things
but the pusles must be diff to sp1 signal because when i put sp1 signal to sp2(signal from abs ) then thing would not change gears
anyway its ok now without abs signal
but soon i fill do some testing for myself

Ok,
Here's what I think I know so far about the MX83
SP1 and SP2 are 0-5v pulses on non ABS vehicles
ABS equipped SP2 sensor is 32 pulses per rev ~2v-12v and then passed through the ABS ecu to the ECT ECU, I assume at 0-5v
I don't have access to a non ABS cressida (as both of ours are grandes) so I'm assuming the inputs of both SP1 and SP2 to the ECT ECU are 4p/rev at 0-5v. Can someone confirm this. I will have some better info over the weekend.

well i got some more info
my speedo reads accurately now
but if i floor it and hold it flat it kicks down and hit redline and stupid gbox wont change gears
so im goin to get a device to control the pulses that goto sp1
this way i can control what speed the ecu sees compared to what my speedo sees
this way i can bring the revs lower when changin gears
instead of changin at 6000 rpm
