Manufacturer: Aptiv (formerly Delphi)
TTI Part Number: 210S048
Mfr Part Number: 210S048

used for depinning this type of harness from AliExpress


the orange thing appears to be just a shield to either prevent the tool from getting damaged or you from getting cut, maybe

Thanks for info, have been removing some with less sophisticated jewelers screwdriver method.

On a related track, pinout for the Zombie board, Mth, Htm, Req, and Clk etc. For use with Prius Nvw30 inverter,
Can you point me as where to locate this please.?

Prius Gen 3 Inverter Connector Pin Out Dumbed Down

Thanks for the link, Ots the Zombie pins am presently searching for..
Your videos are very helpful thanks, look forward to it..

Had figured there must be a diagram about, my limited searching ability has found this on an old post for gs450h,

Do you know if this suits for the Prius you have in the Rabbit? I guess all the oil pump etc is ignored.

that looks similar to what's on the Wiki https://openinverter.org/wiki/ZombieVerter_VCU#Installation

all you need is the four pairs of wires from the Inverter to the Zombie, there are four sets of three wires shown in the diagram below because the third wire from each wire pair loops back to the inverter plug

Best to use the pinout from the wiki as I corrected the can and can2 positions. Older posts on the forum may have this incorrect.

thanks gregski! This feels like something that should be documented in the wiki, but where would a good spot be?

update: I added it to the hardware section immediately after the prewired connector w/ leads line item

unfortunately formatting is terrible because I don't really know what I'm doing

a Specialty Tools section wouldn't hurt

Thanks all for your inputs.

Had been looking for Prius label, when its presently looked more like Leaf , I Didn't notice the sync serial is universally there..
I guess this is all stated somewhere that I haven't come across... Just wondering best way to guide fumbling folks like myself in the right direction..
Greg's videos are very helpful ,

Perhaps at some stage, links to this connection information, if was shipped with the board would have been a good starting point for me..

Not sure how to get feedback to help this, without seemingly like being a nuisance .
Just trying to think of paths to help newer stumbling folks..

Step 1. ask questions, like you did, you are already ahead of the game (if you think you are the only one confused or timid about asking, you are dead wrong, you are doing others a favor by asking)

Step 2. network, click on the persons name aka handle then click on add friend, 99% of them will accept, guys live to talk EV, then private message them a question if you are embarrassed to ask in public

Thanks for helping....have the connections sorted ready for when have a Zombie board prepared.

Next to assemble supplied chips, and wifi module.
The Damian Maguire video I found has guidance to installing a wifi board , not the Esp one, which could be flipped over and seemingly incorrectly installed.
Is there another video description , or instructions that I haven't come across that would help me.with this next step ?

ZombieVerter VCU Prius Inverter Connection



it's going to look like this for both the 3rd Gen Toyota Prius and Lexus GS450h inverters

attachment=0]20240519_100543.jpg[/attachment]

Great presentation thanks... helpful to recall the "Unwrapping" of the communication 4 pairs etc.

Had made up a Test Loom some time ago in an attempt to connect the450h vcu to a Prius inverter..
This is being re purposed for Zombie vcu to Prius.

PICTURE is of cut test loom, laid over the mg1 and mg2 phase lines.
Interesting that the staggered joints to the shielded leads that head to the Toyota vcu, are directly over the motor phase wires.. Hence the extra shield that you found over the plastic protection tube..
Did you if find that extra shield, shown between the arrows ,

Question please ...
I think this was a copper wrap , So was connected to ground, or was it just floated..?

I haven't got another original loom to pull apart at present.

Also had yesterday cut the loom in a place, that is requiring remaking of custom screening ..

Oh well can't get it wrong all of the time, BUT do keep trying.
