1. FITTING HEADER TO ECU
• Remove front and rear covers from the ECU
Tip : The screws that secure the covers will have thread locking compound applied from factory. This
stuff really hangs on so make sure you use a driver with a tip which fits the screw head properly. We use
a cordless drill. This may seem somewhat excessive but the combination of quality screwdriver tips
available and being able to use an adjustable clutch makes for a very effective tool
.
• Remove conformal coating from areas to be soldered
Using solvent or contact cleaner remove the coating around the 20+20 header area on both sides of the
board and around the SMD jumpers (see later in document for photos).
