ECU location and installation

Stock ECU is located in engine bay, on the right side in the front of the engine.

 

1.Disconnect battery from vehicle.

2.Remove and disconnect stock ECU from vehicle harness.

3.Depending on your installation you might need to reroute your engine harness connector (in case you have a big turbo in the way or similar).

4.Install MaxxECU adapter harness.

5.Route the included MaxxECU MAP sensor hose to the intake manifold and connect into the MaxxECU.

6.Optionally install a intake air temperature sensor (IAT) which is recommended (especially on boosted applications) and connect to MaxxECU.

 

 

 

Optional: Install external intake air temperature (IAT) sensor

Some vehicles are not equipped with an intake air temperature (IAT) sensor and MaxxECU plugin solutions do have the

option to add a sensor.

 

 

clip0218

The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor should be mounted to sense fresh air flow going into the engine.

Depending on the intake manifold construction, the position of the temperature sensor is not given, but preferably mount

the sensor in the intake, or in the pipe before/after the throttle.

 

 

IAT wiring

clip0219

MaxxECU plugin solution are equipped with an optional 2-pin connector for optional IAT wiring.

 

 

clip0220

Mating connector and wires for external IAT sensor.
