 ECU installation
Stock Engine Control Unit (ECU) on this vehicle is mounted in engine bay, in the center below windshield.

Step1: Remove wipers and plastic covers. Drill out the rivets.

Step2: Remove stock ECU connectors and gently pull out the
ECU.

Step3: Drill out the rivets.

Step5: Remove plastic cover.

Step6: Install MAP-sensor hose to intake manifold and route it to

the MaxxECU and install it. Put back plastic cover.

 Step7: If your vehicle (se table in page one) do have a stock LSU
sensor already mounted, MaxxECU uses it directly.

If no factory wideband sensor is mounted, please install a new (in-

cluded) Bosch LSU 4.2 sensor in your exhaust system and route
the cables to the MaxxECU 16-pin connector using the included
lambda cable. See Plugin general manual for wiring information!

Step8: Install E-Throttle connector (5) to the E-Throttle module.

Use adhesive tape or velcro to install the E-Throttle module up-
side down with connectors downwards, to prevent water to get
into the module.

NOTE: E-Throttle module is not waterproofed, make sure NO

water can enter your MaxxECU products.

Step9: Gently bend the ECU plate to make room for the MaxxECU
unit.

Step10: Install MaxxECU CMC connector, MAP-sensor hose and

USB cable before sliding in the MaxxECU into position. Use adhe-
sive tape or velcro for mounting.

NOTE: MaxxECU V1 is NOT waterproofed, make sure NO water

can enter your MaxxECU unit after installation!

Step11: Connect harness adapter to vehicle harness, make sure

the connectors are properly installed and secured.

Notes
MaxxECU has some built in output test and diagnostics, see Diagnostics ---> Output test to test certain outputs.
This will only work if fuel pump is set to ”Always active” since fuel pump relay is also powering injectors and ignition.
