Wiring Setup

4 wires need to be connected to set up the device. These are the switched 12V (+), GND (Ground, -), CAN High (CANH) and CAN Low (CANL). The CAN High and CAN Low wires should be connected to legs 60 (CANH) and 58 (CANL) of the ECU.

Important! The CANH and CANL wires should be run as a twisted pair to ensure signal integrity and the total wire length should not exceed 1.5 meters.

For further help on wiring, please visit the Technical Help page.
