Before pinning out your ECU, you must identify your specific engine generation. Toyota updated the 1KZ-TE electronics over its production run, resulting in two primary ECU configurations: Early Generation (Pre-1996/1997)

Before splicing any wires, you must identify your specific ECU. Toyota used two primary variations of the 1KZ-TE engine management system, dictated by the throttle mechanism and emission standards. Generation 1: Mechanical Throttle (3-Plug ECU) Roughly 1993–2000 1kz ecu pinout

| Pin | Function | |-----|-----------| | TE1 | Connect to E1 to enter diagnostic mode | | TE2 | Test mode (stored codes) | | E1 | Ground | | VF1 | Air fuel ratio / injection feedback | | T | Tachometer signal | | +B | Battery voltage | | OP | Shift position (A/T) |

| Circuit / Sensor | Typical ECU Wire Color | Function | |---|---|---| | | (Part of Injection Pump) | Primary fuel control for the electronic injection pump; outputs a duty cycle signal. | | Turbo Pressure Sensor | Signal wire (e.g., PIM) | Measures manifold boost pressure (typically 0 to 4.5V output). Key for fueling under boost. | | Crank Angle Sensor (NE) | Shielded wires | Provides engine RPM (Ne) signal and crankshaft position to the ECU. | | Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) | VTA, IDL, VCC, E2 | Reports throttle plate angle to the ECU. Early models are cable-actuated, late models are "fly-by-wire". | | Coolant Temp Sensor (THW) | Typically Red-Green | Measures engine temperature to adjust timing and cold start fueling. | | Intake Air Temp (THA) | Typically Yellow-Black | Measures air temperature entering the engine to calculate air density. | | Stop Light Switch (STP) | Typically Green-White | Signals the ECU when the brake is applied, used to disengage cruise control and manage idle. | | Check Engine Light (W) | Typically Violet (V) wire | Outputs a 12V signal to ground the "Check Engine" lamp on the dashboard during faults. | | Starter Signal (STA) | Typically Black-White | Tells the ECU the engine is cranking to adjust injection timing and activate the glow plug system. | | Park/Neutral Position (NSW) | Typically Black-Orange | Tells the ECU if the automatic transmission is in Park or Neutral, affecting idle speed control. | | Speed Sensor (SPD) | Typically Green-Yellow | Input from the combination meter that detects vehicle speed, used for idle-up and overdrive control. | | A/C Signal (ACG / ACT) | Typically Black-Red or Blue-Black | Tells the ECU the air conditioning compressor is engaged so it can raise the idle speed. | This public link is valid for 7 days

Water Temperature Sensor signal (Engine Coolant Temperature). THA: Intake Air Temperature Sensor signal. Relays & Indicators G-IND: Glow plug indicator light on the dashboard. SREL: Glow plug relay control circuit.

If using an automatic ECU, this must be grounded or wired to your shifter, or the engine may refuse to rev or start. Can’t copy the link right now

These are your main switched 12V power sources, usually coming from the EFI main relay.

Switched 12V power supply coming from the EFI Main Relay.

A crankshaft or pump-mounted pickup sensor that provides engine RPM data. Sensor Inputs

Typically features a 3-plug layout (26-pin, 16-pin, 22-pin).
