I have a 2002 tl-p with a type s swap. I just replaced my bypass valve actuator today becuase the last one did not work and now the new one does not work either. What could be the problem.

 

The bypass valve control unit might be bad. Will run you ~ $100 from the dealer.

37850-PGE-A01 CONTROL UNIT, BYPASS VALVE

Part #6 (top left corner)

 

Where is that located because I dont think I even put one on when I did the swap

 

Since I dont have one what would I need to get it to work?

 

Driver's side fuse box.

Is the bypass valve even hooked up?

 

Yes the actuator is hooked up to the butterfly on the manifold and the actuator is pluged in to the wire harness. This is all that I have done to get the butterfly to open. I think I am missing a component like the control module or fuse box from type s. So can you tell me what exactly I would have to do to get the actuator to work?

 

You need that IMRC control unit (#6) for the system to work.

 

So where do I put that under the driver side dash ? Is it a easy install ? what does it connect to becuase this was a tl-p I just swapped a type s motor/ecu/wire harness in.

 

Can anyone help?

 

There is a spot on teh B pillar for it by the fuse panel. If you swapped over all the harnesses you will see what it plugs into. I think(if i remember correctly) its the drivers side engine to dash harness

 

I did not switch over all harnesses just the engine harness. Can I just rig up a rpm switch to open it. If It is possible do you know what rpm the actuater opens and closes at? thanks

 

You can use a RPM switch as well. It opens at 4k
