Installing the CDL3 to RS232 ECU loom
The CDL3 to RS232 ECU loom connects the CDL3 loom to an ECU via its
RS232 communications connector.
NOTE:
The RS232 communications connector is the socket that you would
normally use to connect to your ECU for tuning.
Installation method – if CDL3 came pre-configured
1. Plug in the CDL3, SLM-C, buttons and GPS.
2. Connect the CDL3 to RS232 ECU adapter loom to the ECU plug on your
CDL3 loom. Plug the other end into your ECU communications connector.
An additional cable/adapter may be required in conjunction with the RS232
adapter for some ECU’s.
3. Plug the cigarette lighter power adapter into a spare power supply socket. If
your vehicle does not have a power supply socket, cut off the adapter and
connect the red wire to a fused 12 V source and the black wire to chassis
ground.
4. Power up the car, including turning on the ECU. The number in the top right
of the display should change to show the current Engine Temperature.
NOTE:
If the Engine Temperature is not displayed, then either your ECU or
CDL3 isn't correctly configured. Follow the not pre-configured instructions.
5. The installation should now be complete.
