Yes guys and gals, the install was successful. The car now has a shock sensor and it works great!!!! I will take a video of it actually working soon, but for now, the HOW-TO page is done with pictures and step-by-step how to install one for yourself!

Enjoy!

P.S., this will work on 4th gens as well...just read the instructions.

 

 

Congrats!

 

that is so neat. Russ, how much $$ this cost you?

 

my HID alarm fix didnt work tonite.. the last thing I want is my alarm going off

 

Thanks, I've been wanting to do this for awhile, but never got around to it.

I have one tip/question. Instead of drilling a hole through the firewall to tap the HOOD switch, it would be easier to just tap ONE of the HOOD/DOOR/TRUNK wires coming from the SMART ECU right where you installed the shock sensor.

On a 2000:
Door Switches Wires: 28(Red/White), 29(Sky Blue), 40(Red/Light Blue)
Trunk Switch Wires: 38(Purple/Yellow)
Hood Switch Wires: 27(Yellow/Black) Same one you tapped.

On a 2001:
Door Switches Wires: 1(Sky Blue), 2(Red/Light Blue), 3(Red/White)
Trunk Switch Wires: 13(Purple Yellow)
Hood Switch Wires: 6(Yellow/Black)

I can write out MOST of the SMART ECUs' plug wire colors if your interested, so people can figure out which ones they need to tap.

Again THANKS for the good work!

 

I was just going to hunt around in my SMART ECU to figure that out. But once again Alex beat me to it.

By the way, check your PM

 

I wish your homeypage would load....

 

Yeah my PROVIDER is down. Whats the deal, how did your alarm fix not work? I thought you had it all figured out?

 

me too... all I have is a bloody thumb, more scuffs on the top of my HID housing (removal/reinstall on driver side is hard!), a few missing hours, and STILL flashing HIDs to show for it

 

Stop being a girlie girl and just do my Alarm fix once my site comes back up.

 

Read the page again its all there.

Where is the smart ecu device at? I could not locate it. I might redo that one wire this weekend then.

 

quick question regarding the shock sensor? i sthat universal? or + or - trigger? and can i pick that up locally?

by the way great job, well written !!!

neil

 

WoooHoooo! Gotta add this one to the mods list!!!

 

It's kinda hard to explain, but it's in plain sight.

Here's a PDF file(had to zip to attach it) of the location.

There are TWO plugs. The one closest to the driver is the lower numbers, hence 1,2,3... You can match the numbers with the pins by the wire colors.

If you need more, PM me.

 

Universal, with negative trigger.

 

I have to say you always have the most through write ups. Very well done. I would like to get this done before winter.. Do you know what temperatures that shock sensor can operate at?? I don't realy want to drill a hold so I'll wait till you figure out exactly what wire to tap.. then i do ...

 

Ohh Don't forget to change your page title, looks like you were using your Clear corner page to get started I always forget myself...

BTW-I think your site is awesome just needs some cosmetic work on the front page.. What have you been using to code? Straight code or a proggy.

lemme know.. i very busy but i may be able to help ya out a bit

 

Ice you want to explain to him that since he gots a 2001, his SMART ECU is gonna have THREE plugs going into it and almost 90% of the pin#'s are not going to match.

I am busy too, FP2000 is what I use...

 

 

What? I'm not sure what your saying?

I listed both. I have ALL the 2000 wire colors and ENOUGH of the 2K1-2K2 wire colors.

It's very simple to use a few wire colors as reference and know which pin is 1, 2, 3, etc...

 

No No, I was just trying to say that the actual unit on the ESM shows that it has only TWO plugs for the 2K, but the 2K1 now has 3 total plug going into the unit.

Tim, is it really a big deal? Because if Nissan made ie like that, then it should be ok... unless the 2k2s dont flash...

any link for the directions? nothing is loading...

 

Did you notice the date on the last post when you replied to it dude?

 

5thgenmaxima.com is not in service anymore

Damn...another thing I've been meaning to do.

Where the heck does all the time go.

 

what!? i haven't been on here for a while.

Russ actually traded his CL!??

and I see that he has an Audi, but does he ALSO have a maxima again??

 

i didn't see that before...

Has anyone done this? does it work? if the sensor goes off, does it turn off after 30 seconds and re-arm or what?

 

Start a new thread & ask....b/c Russ got so he cant answer your question...
