The tach wire is BLACK/ WHITE at the ECM. On the 6 cylinder models, it is in the 2nd plug from the bottom, pin 1. On the 8 cylinder models, it is in the bottom plug, pin 5.
On the 6 cylinder models, you can also find this wire at the data link connector under the driver side dash.
The Hilux (Surf) is a 4Runner in North America.

Yes it should be the same. If you can't find the wire at the ECM use an injector wire instead.

I think the Hilux is like the old style Tacoma. Look for a light GREEN/ black at the data link connector under the dash. If it doesn't have one it should be at the instrument cluster....

hey there it may be a bit late i'm in WA and have recently fitted a tacho to my lux. remove the instument cluster and behind it you will find a yellow plug, it has...
(+)acc power.
(+)ignition power.
and
(-)earth. use these for your power supply.
on the back of the instument cluster on the middle plug
you need to tap into the red wire with a white trace as your ignition pulse.
cheers hope to be of assistance.
