Equipment Setup
CAUTION: Vehicle ignition switch must be turned OFF before disconnecting the EEC harness cable from the EEC processor.EQUIPMENT SETUP
1. Check for trouble codes. Codes must be recorded before disconnecting the PCM harness, otherwise they will be erased.
2. Install Monitor. Refer to installation procedure below.
3. Select proper Monitor overlay card for the engine.
4. If a Recorder is available, do not install at this time.
NOTE: If the correct overlay card for the engine is not available, the Monitor may still be used with some limitations. In this situation, no overlay card is used and the technician must rely on the pin number label on PIN SELECTOR A and the light array to identify PCM signals. The Monitor can only be used in the manual mode (DCV, OHMS). Do not substitute an incorrect overlay because the readings in AUTO mode will not be correct and the signal labels on the overlay may also be different.
MONITOR INSTALLATION
Monitor Adapter Harness Hookup:
1. Ignition power switch must be turned OFF before disconnecting the PCM harness from the PCM and installing the Monitor. Record any trouble codes obtained during Quick Test before removing the harness; removal of the harness results in loss of Keep Alive Memory Power (KAPWR), resulting in loss of any codes.
2. Remove lid from Monitor and ensure that POWER switch is OFF.
3. Disconnect PCM harness from PCM.
4. Inspect connector for loose or damaged pins, corrosion, or loose wires.
5. Attach appropriate PCM adapter cable to PCM.
6. Attach Monitor connector to PCM adapter cable and tighten 10 mm bolt on connector until snug. Do not overtighten. Attach vehicle harness to adapter cable.
7. Select correct overlay card and install on Monitor front panel.
8. Carefully position Monitor where it can be viewed. Stay away from moving parts, ignition wires, and coil.
9. Check to see that all electrical devices are off - radio, lights, power windows, A/C, rear window defroster, etc...
10. Follow manufacturer directions for running tests.
