Tacho Problem
Moderators: daewoomofo, Moderators Group
I think it has something to do with the different years of the Lanos, the 2000+ Lanos's seemed to work well with the diodes and the C3 and D10 wires, but the 1999 and under models didnt, which means there are wires which we need to suss out, because i dont think anyone on here has got a tacho working in a 1999 and under Lanos.

Hey
I have talked to both Chris and Timmy about this and yes its possible in pre 2000 Lanos's. Myself and my auto electrician worked countloss hours together to probe every single wire combination and basically in accordance with what timmy (ubuyau) has said we got it to work.We did however find these remarkable difference's from what i can rememeber off hand
1) The green and Brown wires were not correct on the early model lanos's.I'm pretty sure one might have been but can not rememeber.
2) As we followed the wiring digram im pretty sure the wires we got had to do with the crank angle sensor or one did to get the signal
I would love to tear apart all my wiring and tape to get into it,but sorry guys the car is for sale and i quiet frankly am too busy at work and with another car im trying to sell aswell.
My suggestion is probe all the wire combinations possible with the diodes untill you get it. It worked for me and if you guys dont belive iti can show ya my video.
Thanks and goodluck
PS: thanks to timmy (UBUYAU) for his solid help through out my troubles

Hey da_woo I'm trying to set this up in my 1.3 Lanos too.
Were the positions of the wires exactly like Ubuyau said in his guide, C3 and D10 I think he said off the top of my head, or were the colours right but in a different place?
Any tips on getting a multimeter in there to read the signal, did you just stick your probes in the ECU plug whilst connected, rather than cutting up wires?
Much appreciated mate.

Hey Norbie...
The positions and colours wernt as what UBUYAU(timmy) said. i;m not exactly sure what colours or the positions are and at this point in time dont have the time nor wont to go hacking into the ecu and all the tapping involved.
WWhen we probed the wires we just probed the diode leg stright intothe wire using a pin hole, just as timmy suggested,Method worked great just make sure you get them the right way around.
Thanks Guys

i still think useing a motorbike tacho would be a good idea
