TOD Disconnect HOWTO

[Michael S.]

Hi All,

Yes, again, but this post is needed, cause not all of us are very challenged electrically...

First of all, a big, huge "thank you" to vovkus (http://www.vehicross.info/forums/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=1037) !!!

Today "we" implemented the scheme (http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?postid=40320#post40320) he proposed. ( "We" are in quotes, cause he was actually doing all the implementation ;) )

It worked! I mean all worked including the 50/50 mode. No error codes (yet) or any other problems...

So, HERE IS THE TOD DISCONNECT HOWTO:

For finding the wire please refer to this:

and this:
http://s87087280.onlinehome.us/tod2.gif

Stuff you'll need:

1. Switch (I got mine from http://www.allhyundaiisuzuparts.com/ ) and:

(number is a Radio Shack Part Number)
2750218 Relay (one)
2701213 Fuse Holder
2701081 10 Amp Fuses
2710132 Two 10 OHM resistors
2701804 Project Box to fit the RELAY and two OHM RESISTORS in.

Add to this another automotive relay (almost any will work) for a 50/50 mode ("relay 1" on the scheme (http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?postid=40320#post40320)).


Have fun!

Vovkus, thanks man!

I'm electrically ignorant...why the relays? Why not just the two switches and the 12v supply?

[vovkus]

Why not just the two switches and the 12v supply?

Yes, even one three-mode switch with enough contact groups and proper amps.
In the case of just two switches, the TOD controller can be fried if
+12V will be connected on the TOD output (50/50 mode).
So, we decided to use a relay to block any “bad” situation for TOD controller.

I made a mistake on the
Diagram (http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?postid=40320#post40320)

1. Use 10 AMP fuse instead of 30 AMP.
2. The "hot" wires (+12V) of all switches need to be connected to the +12 V source controlled by ignition switch.
Sorry about that.

Please upload your files to this site and link to them instead of your cable ISP's system. That way if you ever move, or sell of your VX and stop caring, the information will still still be available to other people. Thanks.

Hey, where did you guys tap into the 12V acc?

In the fuse box, inside, driver's side. We used a lighter fuse connector -- this way there will be no possibility to send +12v to the solenoid while the ignition is off.

Yep, you'r right.

And I tried...


Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagegif() in /home/virtual/site11/fst/var/www/html/gallery/image-inc.php on line 61

Maybe you can do it -- just cut-n-paste my post, but put a different links in.

OK, stupid questions time.....

1.When disconnecting the TOD, is it 2WD? If not, is it in full tourque(or TOD mode)?

2. Is there more power(I'm guessing yes), do you find your self "doing burnouts" a lot?

1. Yes, it's 2WD.
2. I can't say that I feel more power. But I'm running on oversized tires...
