TapTurn issue - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

gpvecchi · 09-22-2018, 04:33 PM

Guys, I fitted the TapTurn relay to may brand new 86, but I have a lot of issues: I can't program the leaving/approaching timer, nor the strobo. And parking light doesn't work. My car has keyless entry.
Can you please help me?

You're following the instructions right? Why not contact tap-turn themselves....

I tried but it’s weekend. I followed instructions, I was looking for some feedback here...

Contacted, they say thay 2018 with keyless can have different wiring, so we're investigating...

I have a diode dynamics on my 2017 with no issues. Not sure what the difference between the two would be though.

One friend says that Dyode Dynamics arrival light doesn’t work on his 2018 86...

I believe one of the new features for 2018 was "One Touch Signaling," which I had always assumed just meant their own, OEM version of a basic TapTurn module. However, it sounds like it might have been done at the BCM level, which would be why it suddenly doesn't play well with more advanced flasher relays...

That's my uneducated guess. Everything IS electronic these days, so it does make sense to have the turn signals controlled by the BCM, rather than by a physical relay. That allows them to easily program things like one touch signaling without changing things at the hardware level. I was actually surprised, when I went from my 1998 Outback to my 2015 BRZ, that the turn signals still utilized a mechanical flasher relay. For a car so focused on weight savings, little things like that count!

Nope, mine doesn’t have tap turn functionality as stock...
