１. Introduction
３. Product Features
１． Stop the engine of the vehicle and Disconnect the cable terminal from the
negative terminal of the battery.
２． Install the Power Editor main unit in an arbitrary place.
・ Avoid the following places.
- Places where the temperature becomes high like the engine body.
- Places where direct water is applied.
・ Confirm that the connection harness reaches the pressure sensor.
・ When using double-sided tape, clean the surface to be pasted, paste it, and use
tie wraps together.
When pasting with double-sided tape only, it is dangerous when it peels off due
to aged deterioration.
３． Connect the Power Editor main unit and Connector for main unit.
４． Disconnect Manufacturer's original connector from Pressure sensor, and wire
the connection harness of Power Editor.
・ Since the boost-up data of channel 1 and channel 2 are the same at factory
shipment, even if the connection to the pressure sensor is reversed, it operates
normally.
・ When changing the boost-up data of the main unit with Easy Writer for
Power Editor, pay attention to the order of the channels.
５． Lock the connection harness of Power Editor with tie wrap so as not to hinder
the running of the vehicle.
・ Please make sure the wire harness routing far from the high temperature
places such as engine body or others.
６． After confirming that all connectors are correctly connected, connect the cable
terminal to the negative terminal of the battery.
７． Turn the ignition on and check that the LED of the Power Editor main unit lights up.
・ Even if the ignition is turned on, if the LED does not light up, poor contact of the
connector may be considered.
