Speedo Corrctor

CMYAU3 · 10-12-2007, 06:58 PM

i need help please.......:(

i got a speedo corrector for the au and this is how u connect it.

For the AU's you need to remove the cluster, and cut the two white wires on the J2 connector on pins 17 and 18.
Join the two white wires together on the harness side and connect them to the input of the corrector.
The output of the corrector join to the cluster plug where you cut the white wire off pin 17.
Pin 18 of the cluster remains unconnected.

the problem is the back of the dash isnt marked wats wat. does any body have a wiring diagram or something that' ll tell me which pins i need.

Go to this link and scroll down it has image of both low series and mid/high series cluster plugs and how they are numbered.

No worries its easy once you lok at it. I extended the wires after cutting in so I could mount the module under the dash next to the steering column. That way If I make any changes access is real easy without having to dismantle anything.
Take care and have a good xmas.

Hey guys sorry to sound moronic but is this speedo corrector to fix the speedo if you do a diff gear ratio change?
Also if you have a flash tuner arent you able to do this through the tuner instead of using 1 of these speedo correctors?

Not sure if a flash tune on an AU will cover diff ratio. But with this in play I have full 100% adjustability up and down done within 5 seconds of checking thje speedo against the gps and pulling over. I prefer this to booking in and paying S@%t loads to a flash tuner to change the ratio (if he can do it) and it still may be slightly out. I have put mine 1km/h out at 100km/h so its actually doing 99. I figure better to be under than over. I can change tyre and wheel combos and diff ratios as much as I like with easy quick adjustability for a one off $44 purchase and an hour of my time to build and install it, Thats the advantage.

hey guys, where do you get these from?

PM or email me

jaycar but you have to build it. Comes as a kit. You have to have a bit of nouse with electronics or know someone to do it for you. Make sure capacitors and diodes go exactly as sshown and follow instructions and its easy.

AU2PWR · 13-12-2007, 11:14 AM

there very easy to put together .. All you Need is a Soldering Iron and the Instructions are Very Simple and Straight Forward..

cool thanx guys

BHDOGS · 28-09-2012, 08:53 PM

for the ground and switched ignition source for the jaycar corrector can i use pin 1 of the j2 connector for ground and pin 2 of the j3 connecter?

i know its an old thread but it has most of the info i need or is there an easier place to connect it to?

BHDOGS · 01-10-2012, 01:42 PM

For future reference easy to do and I put mine in The glove box

**auIILTD** · 02-10-2012, 08:58 AM

Also for future reference, to address a question posted above, yes, the tune does cover the diff ratio, but it does not affect the speedo. The tune change will only impact the speed the ecu thinks you are doing - it has an impact on gear shifts, lean cruise implementation and other functions where speed is a factor. For the speedo, you have to change the speedo gear in the gearbox or use a corrector as mentioned above.

I just pulled the cluster out of my series 2 te50 to fit my corrector and it has 3 plugs instead of 2 so im not sure which pins mean what?
I had a look around in the pinout daigrams in the tech support but couldnt really find what i needed,could someone please show me the way to a te50 instrument cluster plug/pinout daigram.
I have a 20 pin plug on the left and a 16 pin plug and also a 10 pin plug on the right.
Cheers

66 coupe · 02-10-2012, 08:35 PM

the 20 pin connector is the one you need

STINKY NINJA · 02-10-2012, 08:48 PM

Thanks,do the two white wires have tracers?
Cheers

BHDOGS · 02-10-2012, 10:35 PM

For my fairmont series 2 wires 17 on the left was the input and wire 18 the output wire for the speedo signal The 2 plugs on the right above and below each other are actually counted as one plug in the wiring diagram not sure if tseries are diffrent Tho

STINKY NINJA · 02-10-2012, 10:49 PM

Thanks 66 and bh for the help,i have a clearer picture now.

STINKY NINJA · 03-10-2012, 02:48 PM

Hooked it all up like the instructions said and the speedo doesnt work and put the trans into limp home mode,best its done is flicker between 0-20kph for a few seconds.
Any ideas what is wrong?
I havent had any issues fitting these before.

STINKY NINJA · 03-10-2012, 03:34 PM

Just had the cluster out to recheck the wiring and its spot on.

BHDOGS · 03-10-2012, 07:21 PM

Have u set the little gauges to zero and A I think it was to tell it to learn the signal And have u got the lk1 adapter in to connect the two prongs on the circuit board?

BHDOGS · 03-10-2012, 07:24 PM

Also did you use the two white wires on the right hand side of the left hand side dash connector plug as you face the dash from the drivers seat? Is ground and ignition wired up correctly I used pins 1 for ground and pin 4 for ignitin wire.

STINKY NINJA · 03-10-2012, 07:34 PM

I rechecked all the wiring and it was correct,i got it direct from shiftkits.com so i didnt build it.
Ive fitted 3 or 4 of these and never had an issue but they were fitted to e series cars.
I had the two white wires (17,18)coming from the harness going onto the green,the yellow wire going to pin 17,18 was left disconnected,black to 1 and red to 4.
It had 12 volts when the key was on.
What would wire 18 normally do when connected?

**russellw** · 03-10-2012, 07:37 PM

We have an article in the tech portal about installing the Jaycar speedo corrector and wiring for EA-BF models.

Cheers

STINKY NINJA · 03-10-2012, 07:48 PM

Thanks russ.

BHDOGS · 03-10-2012, 09:52 PM

Wire 18 is the speedo output wire to the ecu you wire pin 17 and 18 to the input wire on the speedo corrector And leave the cluster plug disconnected so bypassing the dash

BHDOGS · 03-10-2012, 10:00 PM

Hmm I'm not sure on these already built ones but on mine I built I had to select the two adjusters to s1 at 2 and s2 at A to get it to learn the signal is this what u do with the already built ones?

So you left the complete plug disconnected then.
I wired 17 and 18 from the harness to the input and then the output to the 17 wire which goes to the dash and left 18 disconnected like my instructions said.(green is the input and yellow is the output on the corrector)
How did you get the dash to work with the 20 pin plug not plugged in?

Nope.
