Thank you for purchasing the AEM F/IC. Inside the box you will find the F/IC
module, a universal wiring harness, a software CD, and other components needed to
install the F/IC and adjust the FIC via a laptop or PC. See Figure 1. For more
information on select vehicles, please visit the FIC section of the AEM Electronics
Forum. The forum can be accessed from the AEM homepage (
www.aempower.com ),
by clicking on the link titled “Forums”.
Getting started
(Note: The following is a universal wiring installation. For more specific
information on some of the more common vehicles, please visit the FIC section of the
AEM Electronics Forum. Also, to make the install easier and to save you from cutting
your factory harness, we recommend the use of a “patch” or “extension” harness.
These harnesses are readily available from companies like Boomslang
(
http://www.boomslang.us/ ) or Auto Sport Wiring ( http://www.autosportwiring.com/ ).)
The first step in connecting the F/IC is to determine what features/functions are needed
and which functions are not needed. The F/IC comes with a universal flying lead that
has 66 non-terminated wires. At first glance, the bundle of wires is quite intimidating.
However, by answering some questions about your vehicle and what you want to do
with the F/IC, some of the wires can be eliminated. Before we begin, we must learn the
two types of connections used with the F/IC: the tap and the intercept. See Figure 2.
