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.
