GS450H VCU and transmission

My project has taken a different route and I no longer have a need for my Lexus vcu or transmission. The VCU is already built and the code is loaded and set up. I also have the box it goes in and two wire harnesses. One is built by me and has all connectors on it. The other harness is just started b...

Re: Lexus GS450H VCU Support Thread

Looks like I have a dead inverter - I thought I saw somewhere on here that a guy bought a couple, repaired a part in the middle that would go bad, and then have a good unit again. I can't seem to find that post or what part that is. I'm getting no communication from the VCU and the inverter This co...

Re: GS450H Discussion

That's pretty amazing! I finished my stock harness and tried everything again - Nothing

Anybody have a working inverter they can spare - either to let me test and i'll pay shipping or one to sell?

Re: GS450H Discussion

Does anyone know what the next steps should be - I want to verify everything before I get a new inverter. I checked and recheck the wires - and I'm building a new harness from a stock one - just to verify. I just don't seem to be getting anything from the inverter to the VCU Screenshot_20211122-0845...

Re: Tracked tank powered by a GS450H

set everything up and all seemed well - then nothing! I can't seem to get anything on the inverter. I have done everything I can think of. I bought a new wire harness to make a very clean one and i'll try that but I don't think it's the wires. I'll get it eventually but I was hoping to get the trans...

Re: Tracked tank powered by a GS450H

Soooooo - I have have spent many many hours trying to figure out my inverter and think I may have a dead unit :( its very frustrating and annoying. I like 99.999999% sure my wiring is correct as I have gone over it 4 times. While there still might be something I don't see that's wrong, I don't think...

Re: GS450H Discussion

You should definitely hear high pitch noise from inverter when you apply High Voltage. I know you checked wiring but you can also cross check against my old and really bad video linked below, perhaps you missed something. Keep in mind it was done with Camry inverter which has slightly different mai...

Re: GS450H Discussion

Is there a way to just test the inverter, to see if it's good or not. I'm literally going crazy as I can't get things to spin. I tested my throttle and i'm getting a 0 to 495 and I set it via the serial and I loaded the program and have check my wiring 3 times . The only thing I do notice, that I d...

Re: Lexus GS450H VCU Support Thread

ground.JPG That may be my issue as I didn't hook a relay to the B and B2 , as it looks like they where connected together and just connected to positive via the 10amp fuse - so if I'm reading this right now B and B2 connect together and go to 5(87) on a relay - 2(85) and the relay goes positive via...

Re: Lexus GS450H VCU Support Thread

Ok I just need to confirm a few things as I finished pinning and wiring up everything - check my wires and put 60v to the invertor and got NOTHING! Very frustrating. I checked and double checked - I even ordered a new pedal and a 5k pot just to test things. When 12v is turned on I here a relay click...

Re: Lexus GS450H VCU Support Thread

For what it's worth, I think it makes more sense to use pins 6 and 9 (FWD and REV) instead or R and D. This way, you can use the momentary "B" position without it dropping into neutral. do you mean you can just use a momentary push button and hit pin 6 or 9 with 12v for a second and it go...

Re: GS450H inverter and motor - how much cooling needed? How big Rad?

On a separate related note - the two wires coming out of each resolver on the transmission, pins 4 and 8 - is there a way to hook those to a separate device like a Arduino or something and have a screen displaying the temps?
