ThunderMax Models w/96”Engine ARB EO # K-001 - Manual (Page 6)

when the monitor gauge functions are live. The gauges
will be displayed if they were not already on the screen.
Step 10 Now select the IAC Stops vs. Engine
Temperature page from “IAC Curves” menu within the
tuning tree.
Strike the
spacebar to show the actual values of the tuning block
(use left/right arrow keys to move the block marker).
Make certain that the motorcycle is in neutral and the
engine is cold, and then start the engine. Once the
engine idle is stable after 15- 20 seconds, select the
“IAC-Auto” button (Idle Air Control Auto Adjustment).
Allow the “IAC-Auto” function to run at idle until the
engine head temperature reaches 275 degrees. After
reaching temperature of 275 degrees, the “IAC-Auto”
function automatically shuts off. You can terminate this
function at any time, and re-run it at a later time if you
wish.
Step 11 Unlink the SmartLink software from the ECM,
turn off the ignition switch and remove the
communication cable from the ThunderMax 50 ECM.
Use the ‘Save As’ command to create a folder and save
the map to your hard drive. The motorcycle is now
ready to be ridden. Several riding sessions that allow
the engine to reach normal operating temperature
should be completed. During this process, the IAC
virtual stops will automatically be adjusted to the IAC
target values set within the map’s basic settings. This
feature automatically adjusts how the engine comes
back to the specified idle speed. If the IAC stops are set
too low, the engine will dip below the specified idle
speed during certain transient conditions. If the IAC
stops are above the IAC position, the engine will idle
above the idle rpm specified in the idle speed vs. engine
temperature page.
Step 12 After riding the motorcycle, re-link and “write”
the AutoTuned map points to the base map within the
module. The AutoMap (Map Editing) function resets the
Base Map points to the learned offset point values. This
"reset" allows the AutoTune systems to use its maximum
range to make future adjustments. Some examples of
conditions the AutoMap functions will correct for are:
• Different Exhaust Pipes
• Injector Flow Rates, Spray Angles
• Throttle Body Tolerances
• Fuel Pressure Variances
• Large Changes in Ambient Conditions
• Normal Engine Wear.
• Fuel Quality (ethanol, octane ratings etc.)
To perform the AutoMap function, first ride the
motorcycle for 100+ miles, stopping several times to
cycle the ignition switch off and on. Vary the RPM and
load as much as possible for the ECM to “see” as much
RPM variances and throttle positions as possible for it to
auto-adjust the fuel points. Once this is done, link and
“read” the module [File] [Read Module Maps and
Settings], then select [Map Editing] [AutoMap (Write
“Learned Fuel Adjustments (CLP OFFSET)].
The flowing window will appear; choose [Read Module,
Perform AutoMap, Write Module].
The adjusted fuel points will be automatically smoothed
and the base map re-written with the new, optimized fuel
points. Save the modified map to your hard drive before
unlinking, and go ride!
