DX subtank wiring

[sam tartaglia]

Does anyone know if the 1992 DX came out with the wiring for the GXL sub tank gauge as I’m considering converting mine to GXL speedo and sub tank gauge

Thanks in advance

The wiring will all be in place, however, what engine type do you have? The better cluster adds the tachometer, and from what you've said yours doesn't currently have one, correct? On the 1HZ engine at least, the tacho requires a pickup sensor on the back side of the injector pump. If your vehicle didn't come with the tacho installed, you probably don't have the pump with the pickup for it either if it's a 1HZ/1HD-T. Not sure about the petrol engines.

By the way, the better cluster was an option on the DX models, it wasn't exclusive to the GXL. Mine came with it from the factory.

Thanks

I’ll have a closer look in the morning

Is this the correct plug?

Does this show up?

Yep, that's there. OK, so the interesting thing is, based on the Toyota and Denso part numbers, your injector pump shouldn't have the taco pickup. But it looks to me like it does. I see some evidence the pump has been refurbished? The diesel mechanics often work on a swap basis, makes things easy. Bring your old pump in, get a rebuild one fitted the same day, and they can rebuild yours on their own time for the next customer. The tacho pickup is just an extra sensor. Looks to me like it's been fitted to this pump, even though it wasn't on there originally. Makes things easier for them when doing swaps. So you're in the clear with that.

Back to the sub tank wiring though. So are you asking if the wiring for the overhead instrument cluster is fitted by default? Realised I might have misunderstood the original question.

Yeh thats what I meant about the wiring as mine is a standard (not a DX as was brought up to me today) I’m not sure and wanna figure out if it is before I start cutting the roof lining

 

[DivByZero]

OK. Checked the parts catalog. Bad news on that front. It looks like the answer is no, your roof wire no 1 will be different. With a VIN I could be exact, but you probably have 82171-60010 in there right now, which will lack the connector you need. You'll need to get a replacement harness from one which has the overhead console and swap it out, or run your own wiring down the A pillar to hook up the accessory meter.

Ok thanks for the help mate I’ll get my hands on a loom before I go ahead with it
