For the "larger Supra/Cressida AFMs, the 1982 5MGE AFM is plug-and play". This is plug and play for the pre 1988.5, correct?


Correct - plug and play for the pre 1988.5 motors.

And "To use one of the 83-85 5MGE AFMs, you need to swap out the stock circuit board and swap in the circuit board from your stock 22RE AFM."
This is if I want to use it on a post 1988.5 truck, correct?


Correct. Actually, you have to do this for ANY of the 1983-85 5MGE AFMs, as they all produce the high-to-low output signal, which is the opposite of what the 22RE needs to see.

If I understand correctly, unless I swap circuit boards, I need to use post 1988.5 Supra or Cressida AFM. Is this correct?

Most likely a dumb question, but, did they make a post 1988.5 5MGE?

Thank you for your help.

I'm not sure -- all of my personal experience is with the pre-1988.5 motors. This page has some general info on the 5MGE and indicates that the motor was made until 1988. My guess is that a circuit board swap would be the likeliest way to get this to work, but I don't know enough about the specifics of these years to know for sure. Sorry - the above pretty much sums up what I know on this subject.
