Long story short, I need to locate a starter wire in a 2009 Highlander Hybrid, that can be disrupted. Car must not start when this is done. I have looked at all the usual wiring sites, and have found nothing of use. I have also found nothing to use in the vehicle, at this point.
Anyone have any leads?
Judy curious. Security system?
Kinda sorta? But no. LOL. Breathalyzer.
Hope the car isn't manual then
I just pulled up the ign switch wiring diagram on ALLDATA. Unfortunately it was scanned in poorly, so you can't see any text on the diagram.
Hopefully someone else can post a good image of the ignition diagram.
Forgot to add, this one is push button. So the pink wire in the 7th pin, won't work.
Cone Junky, thanks for looking! I appreciate it a ton.
In response to Gameboy, roll start it all you want, unit will know the motor was started without a test, and violate you.
Don't use the starter wire. That has huge current flowing through it and can be bypassed readily with a jumper cable.
Use the crankshaft position sensor wire to the ECU. Put the disconnect relay right next to the sensor - if possible, hardwire it in - and the car will not start if it's disconnected. The starter will spin but the engine will never fire.
It doesn't have a starter per se, it has a motor generator that will spin the engine on command.
