28.
using a 5.5mm nut driver, loosen
and remove the six bolts that hold the
case of the eCu together. open the
case of the eCu, being careful not to
lose the plastic spacer or damage any
circuitry inside the eCu.
29.
Clean both sides of the
connector. First, clean the white
grease off with a tissue. next, scrape
the clear silicone type coating from the
connector fingers with the abrasive
square provided. it is very important to
clean both sides of the board in order
to have a good connection between
the eCu and the banks ottoMind
module. it is only necessary to clean
the connector fingers. be careful not
to damage any circuit traces on the
board further inside the eCu.
30.
orient the module so that its
edges line up with the edges of the
eCu case. if the edges do not line
up, the module is rotated 180° off.
place the ottoMind module over the
connector, and press firmly to set
the connection. Do not ForCe the
ottoMind onto the connector, as
damage may result to either the eCu
or the module. if the module does not
install with firm pressure, check the
orientation and try again.
31.
using a band saw or hacksaw
cut a portion of the black plastic case
away allowing the ottoMind to reside
in its proper location. see Figure 12.
reinstall the eCu with the black plastic
box, making sure the ground tab is
still in place at the lower mounting
point. reattach the wiring harness to
the eCu and tighten the retaining bolt.
be careful that all the pins are aligned
correctly, as it is possible to bend the
pins of the eCu and do permanent
damage! reconnect the batteries.
32.
Find, supplied in the kit, the
blaCK wire with a ring terminal on
one side and a male “fast-on” blade
terminal on the other. install the red
“t-tap” connector on the center wire of
the Map sensor as far from the sensor
as possible. pull the wire out of the
convoluted plastic tube near the top of
the firewall and squeeze the t-tap onto
the wire with pliers. see Figure 13.
attach one end of the blaCK wire to
the t-tap and the ring terminal end to
the ground strap lug on the firewall.
33.
Check the operation of the
ottoMind and eCu. the vehicle may
not start if the coating on the eCu
connector is not completely removed
or if there is a mismatch of codes. a
quick indication of module connections
that are not cleaned properly is that
the “wait to start” indicator will fail to
light and the “Check engine” warning
indicator will stay lit after the key is
switched on. if the engine fails to start,
re-clean the eCu connector, reinstall
the module and try again. if the
problem persists, contact customer
service at Gale banks engineering to
confirm that the eCu and ottoMind
codes match.
