Refer to Figure Q (Bypass Plug)
A bypass plug is included in the kit. The plug can be connected to the harness instead of the
module. Once the bypass plug is connected, the vehicle will run in factory settings. Make
sure the plug is fully engaged when connected to the harness. Thank you for choosing aFe
POWER!
Please note: Whenever the vehicle needs to be jumpstarted/battery has to be serviced,
make sure to disconnect the harness from the module and install the bypass plug in
order to prevent damage to the Scorcher Blue module.
The vehicle needs to be in sleep mode when the module gets disconnected and the
bypass plug connected. Wait for the blue LED on the module to stop flashing to make
sure the vehicle is in sleep mode.
