Codes: 42, 62, 63

to do with the speedo being dead (?)

62: Severed No.1 solenoid or short circuit-severed wire harness or short

63: Severed No.2 solenoid or short circuit-severed wire harness or short

Hmmmm...severed wire harness? Also says: "HINT: If codes 62,63 or 64
appear, there is an electrical malfuntion in the solenoid.

OK, where do we go from here? (Hey, I never said I was a mechanic!)

Ahah!  Now you've got something.  

There are three connectors under the hood, down behind the starter
motor.  One of them has come loose or is totally unplugged.  
Since 61 isn't showing, I'm betting it's not completely unplugged as
61 is the number 2 sensor inside the transmission.

You should be able to see the connectors without getting under the
car.   BTW< if you have antilock breaks, there will be a fourth
connector.

If memory serves (i just took out the tranny in mine two days ago>,
your problem will be in the rectangular one, not one of the two round
ones or the little square one for antilock brakes.

Well, thanks for the pointer. I took a look, but didn't see much. I'll
have to check it tomorrow or so. I didn't see *any* connectors! (now, that
could be a problem, eh?) But I'll check it further later. Anyway, thanks!

The car is an '88 Supra, and I have a .pdf copy of the TSRM. Just need to

If it has an A340H, its not a Supra, its a 4WD truck or 4Runner! Do you
mean the A340E?

So now we're getting somewhere. Thanks to qslim and Gary for some insight.
I don't know when the next time I'll have a chance to crawl around in
there...it's getting a little late now. It may not be until next Sunday.
In the mean time I have another problem to figure out: how to fit bigger
speakers into the doors, without having them hang off the door itself!  ;)
(I actually foound I can fit a 5.25 or maybe even a 6.25 in there...I'll
have to buy some mounting brackets and 'modify' them...heh heh...)
Going for the MB Quart component system, I think.
Carcenomy - 03 Jan 2005 12:52 GMT
How big is the factory speaker hole?

After all, I've got 6x9s in the factory hole that's closer to 4x10...

It's weird, Nick. It's the Panasonic (National) "Live Sound" option. They
use a baffle system with a large plastic baffle that fits into a cutout in
the door. The cutout is actually large enough to allow fitting a 6x9 in
there.

The opening in the door panel is 4". I could hack away at this to allow
about 4.5". What I plan to do is get some Metra or Scosche speaker
mounting brackets and shaving them slightly with one 'flat' side to allow
refitting the dorr handle/window switch assembly, and then drilling holes
in the metal triangle in the door panel to mount the modified adapter and
speaker. What would be ideal is to shave the adapter almost flat on one
side, as mentioned, and then shave the face at an angle to match the
original angle of the factory speaker, that is, so it tilts towards the
seat. This will require some actual *work* and I'll probably blow through
at least one set before getting it right. I am a bit worried about having
the weight of the speaker hanging on the door panel; I'm afraid it might
be too much for the material the panels are made out of, so I am also
trying to figure some way to mount it to the door frame itself and still
mate with the inner door panel surface as it is supposed to. Just hanging
the thing in there with wire sounds great, though, and I don't have
speakers hanging off the door. Much better looking, and I won't be kicking
them like I was in the Tercel!
Carcenomy - 04 Jan 2005 04:27 GMT
Tell ya what, with 6x9s you will *NOT* get the most out of them unless they
are strapped to something solid.

Make up a frame that your mounting bracket can bolt to that is firmly
(read: RIGIDLY) attached to the door itself. That way, you will get the
full bass potential from the speakers.

Otherwise, it's not the weight of the speaker that'll kill the doorpanel,
it's the vibration. Don't mount speakers only to thin chipboard
doorpanels.

In worst case scenario I wouldn't actually use 6x9s in the front. 6.5s
work just as well, are cheaper and look better - plus are FAR easier to
install.

There are some fine speakers that ft as exact replacements.  Also
check for the little 3" ones in the lower dashpannel.  Don't forget to
install limiters if your stereo kicks a.s.  ( I don't care what the
other read says about it, my Pioneer rips speakers rated for 45watts
to shreds without 'em>

Chipboard...so THAT'S what you call that stuff!

Ok, yeah, I don't really want to mount directly to the chipboard, but
attaching to the door will probably be even more difficult. The good thing
is I don't have to cut or drill the chipboard; there is a steel insert
riveted into the panel I was going to drill holes in to mount the adapter
brackets, and then attach the speakers to these. Actually what I was
thinking was, drill the metal piece in three places, get some long bolts
with washers and nuts, run the bolt from the front face of the metal
piece, through the adapter bracket and then the speaker, place the washers
on this mess and then the nuts. This way the speaker adapter will mate
with the metal piece and overlap somewhat onto the chipboard, and the
speaker itself will act as sort of a backing plate for the whole mess,
more or less supporting itself.

That's the nice term. Shitboard is what I'd call it.

Remember that your window glass will be contending for the same space.

Part of what gives you good sound is good mounting of the speaker.
You may not get the full benefit of the speakers, but they may be ok.

Plenty of space. It is a BIG door, and there is a cut-out for the original
speaker enclosure. It's sort of a plastic box supposedly to give the same
effect as a Bose Wave Radio...but not quite...

I just have the thing cobbed in there, using the mount for the tweeter and
the mid-range to hold the thing in. I am able to attach the dorr panel,
wit plenty of room left, thanks to the cutout.

Unplugged connectors righ above the starter motor. Look for an open 6
pin connector.

If he's had any work done, they might have stuffed them between the
starter and the engine or, worse, near the steering knuckle.

OH YEAH! I know how THAT feels, and it SUCKS! I've got no reversing lights
now for that reason - last guy working on the exhaust cut off the nylon
ties I had holding the cable away from the extractors. And it was melted
to a crisp.

OK, the latest: Got out the drop light and took a good look (*where* the
ehll is the starter???). So, I finally found it and saw 4 connectors: two
round with 2? wires each, and a squarish one with 4 or 5 wires (Hey, even
with the drop light it was hard to see....). There was one more: a small
square connector with 4 wires, red, blue, green and black with red stripes
(note, not *a* red stripe). This was the only one not connected, and does
not appear to have a mate. (ABS wiring, perhaps? This car does *not* have
ABS...) All the rest appear to be connected properly. I have the procedure
for electrically testing the solenoids; will have to reposition the car so
I can get to the connector...

That's the one.  Try disconnecting then reconnecting it. Listen for
the click.

Key on, or key off?
Actually, if I remember right, one of them is supposed to be energized
with the key off???

Best to do it with tkhe key off.  I don't know why something would be
energised in the tranny with the key off.

There are other tests in the book, btw, to further verify your
problem.  They require removing the glove box and the connectors to
the ECU .    One test is for continuity and the other you'll need to
apply power to certain pins on the cable while listning for the click
of the solonoid.

Yeah, I'm going to try some of them, but I have to clear some of the
*JUNK* out of the garage and reposition the car. Amazing what one can
accumulate in 30 years!

Just back in and go about 4 feet too far.  Then, when you get the
insurance check for the garage, build a two car version and when you
get the check for the car, replace the tranny. :)

ok u should be able to locate the ecu box under the dash on the passenger
side.. there should be no need to remove any parts of the dash but there
weill be a cover over it...there is three connecters on the bottom of it. it
should be the connecter closest to the front of the truck. if you check..i
think its the 8th pins....resistance it should be somewhere between 11 and 15
ohms...but more like 13.8 i have the same problem with my 92 tacoma. and the
solenoid if u have to replace is accessable by dropping the pan.
