I have an install on a HKS TEMS to do so SUBSCRIBED to this great thread. Only way I know to subscribe is to post. Sorry for bringing this post back to life.

Has anyone ever changed the LEDs in the controller? Red lights make me nervous lol, and blue goes with the rest of my dash a lot better
Also - has anybody ever had the stencils on the buttons redone?

Just read this. Does this mean that my TEMS won't work with a soarer 1JZ swap?

Never had to do this, and I've not heard anyone else having to do it. Would be interesting to see what you come up with.
yhatzee89;1928982 said:
It's possible. As I said in my earlier post, I don't know what the effect would be after swapping the engine, but I would suspect it won't AUTOMATICALLY switch over based on the missing sensors.
It SHOULD still be selectable, something I get to test out when I finish my 2JZ swap. I'll let everyone know about that later on.
So I'll be able to switch between modes, but if I start getting on it or try coming to a sudden stop, I'm in for whatever mode is selected without it bumping up to stiff? Best guess?
I was looking at mine tonight and it looks like i would have to melt the hot glue that holds the circuit board and buttons into the plastic housing, then it's a matter of finding new blue LEDs that work and soldering them in ( I hate electrical work :/) I think it would be worth it to even leave the sport mode one red lol

Exactly. It should still be selectable, you'd just lose the automatic functions when the car pitches and yaws.
Since this has become a really-expensive item, you're thinking of doing something I wouldn't even attempt on a good day. Best of luck and post up the results!
That could VERY WELL be true, as you did experience it. I'm sure the ECU does some sort of calculation that would adjust for the speed differences, but it also uses the sensors for G-forces that are applied to the car when it does a maneuver at speed.
Great point!
Great point!
Its all in the first post of this thread....
The four sensors which assist in the various settings are:

LOL! Let me now wipe the EGG off my face! (How short my OLD memory has become!)
...my apologies for the ignorant posts... I shall be donning sack-cloth and ashes for the rest of the day.
Carry on...
EDIT: As a follow-up, I edited out my earlier "ill-fated" posts.

"The TEMS system (short for Toyota Electronically Modulated Suspension) is an advanced suspension system found on many of the 3rd generation MKIII Supras and the Soarers of that era as well as newer Toyota vehicles like the Sequoia and Land Cruiser, and was and still is an impressive feature"
So is it possible to get an ECU from a TEMS + 1JZ equipped soarer and possibly have it work as stock? Just a thought

I have no idea on that. I truly don't know what Soarers have and can't even guess at compatibility.
And no sweat Crisp, it's all good!

yhatzee, some, yes. There are sometimes "option functions" controlled by dip switches that are not explained publically in their literature. (Although some seem to be "hermetically sealed" as well, perhaps?) LOL!

Have you ever replaced an LED in any of them? The EAC-T doesn't seem to be sealed as well lol, just some hot melt glue

"TEMS
Some cars come equipped with the TEMS system. In order to keep this fully functional we need to feed the TEMS ECU the right input signals from the JZ ECU. Let's see what is needed when we swap the ECU.
Connector 'B'
1 Speed signal from Combination meter Original MA7
2
3 M+ signal for TEMS actuators
MA7
4 +B from ECU 1G (15A)
MA7
5 Sport switch
MA7
6
7 GND
MA7
8
9 M- signal for TEMS actuators
MA7
10 SOL for TEMS actuators
MA7
Connector 'H'
1 TEM check signal for check connector Depends on what check box we're using Hyb
2 SS1 from steering sensor
MA7
3 SS2 from steering sensor
MA7
4 L3 from ECU Need to be made custom Add
5 L2 from ECU Need to be made custom Add
6 VS signal from steering sensor
MA7
7 'Hard' led signal
MA7
8 'Soft' led signal
MA7
9 'Normal' led signal
MA7
10 Stop signal from stop light switch
MA7
11
12 L1 from ECU Need to be made custom Add
As you can see another easy transplant. Only signals that needs to be made custom are the L1,L2 and L3 signals currently generated by the 7M ECU. Not much of a hassle I would say, we already needed to make those when we were going with the 7M ECT. Special design I would say. The rest is just plain easy!"
So it appears that this guy figured it out...?
