OK, well I've spent 30 minutes trying to find an answer via the search so my conscience is CLEAR!
I'm going to install a PCIII on my 2006 today. I've already done the Barbarian Modification (henceforth known as the BM for brevity's sake). My question for you techies out there.
Will the BM interfere or otherwise conflict with the PCIII? This ASSUMES I change the CO settings back to the factory settings via the diagnostic screen.
My hypothesis is: No, as long as I return the CO settings to the factory settings. My hypothesis is based on the assumption that the PCIII is taking signals from the FI computer and "modifying" them. The FJR is a closed loop (dumb) system and doesn't know it is being "modified". Unless the signals, modified by the PCIII are coming through the circuit affected by the BM modification, it should have no effect on the operation of the PCIII. (In other words, unless the wire I "relocated" during the BM is essential for the operation of the PCIII circuitry, it should not matter whether I did the BM or not.)
OK you electrical engineers/tech's out there what is the answer?
LC
P.S. I'm going to try it anyway and see what happens. If I don't like the results I will reverse the BM and see if that makes any difference.
