Thank you for purchasing an AEM Engine Management System.
The AEM Engine Management System (EMS) is the result of extensive development on a
wide variety of cars. Each system is engineered for each particular application. The AEM
EMS differs from all others in several ways. The EMS is a stand alone system which
replaces the fuel and ignition functions of the factory ECU and features unique Plug and Play
Technology, which means that each system is configured especially for your make and
model of car.
For stock and slightly modified vehicles, the supplied startup calibrations are configured to
work with OEM sensors, providing a solid starting point for beginner tuning. For more heavily
modified cars, the EMS can be reconfigured to utilize aftermarket sensors and has many
spare inputs and outputs allowing the elimination of add-on rev-limiters, boost controllers,
nitrous controllers, fuel computers, etc. It also includes a configurable onboard 1MB data
logger that can record any 16 EMS parameters at up to 250 samples per second. Every
EMS comes with all functions installed and activated; there is no need to purchase options or
upgrades to unlock the full potential of your unit.
The installation of the AEM EMS on the supported vehicles uses the stock sensors and
actuators. After installing the AEMTuner software, the startup calibration will be saved to the
following folder on your PC:
C:\Program Files\AEM\AEMTuner\Calibrations\Honda - Acura\
Multiple calibrations may be supplied for each EMS; additional details of the test vehicle
used to generate each calibration can be found in the Calibration Notes section for that file.
Please visit the AEM Performance Electronics Forum at http://www.aempower.com and
register. We always post the most current strategy release, PC Software and startup
calibrations online. On the forum, you can find and share many helpful hints/tips to make
your EMS perform its best.
TUNING NOTES AND WARNING:
While the supplied startup calibration may be a good starting point and can save
considerable time and money, it will not replace the need to tune the EMS for your specific
application. AEM startup calibrations are not intended to be driven aggressively before
tuning. We strongly recommend that every EMS be tuned by someone who is already
familiar with the AEM software and has successfully tuned vehicles using an AEM EMS.
Most people make mistakes as part of the learning process; be warned that using your
vehicle as a learning platform can damage your engine, your vehicle, and your EMS.

Read and understand these instructions BEFORE attempting to install this product.
• Sufficient battery voltage during cranking (starting)
Having enough battery voltage when you crank over your vehicle is critical to the
operation of your vehicle and your AEM EMS. For the EMS to function properly, the
battery voltage must remain at or above 8 Volts when the vehicle is first starting. This
is the time when your electrical system will be worked its hardest and be at its lowest
voltage. If you are connected to your Series 2 EMS with a USB communications
cable, and you experience disconnecting while the vehicle is cranking, the reason is
most likely a battery voltage of less than 8 volts (see Channel called “Battery Raw”
which is an unfiltered value of actual battery voltage being received by the EMS). If
this is the case, you can confirm this by connecting with a serial cable (a serial
adapter may be required if your computer is not equipped with a serial port) and
check in the AEMTuner software for a Channel called “Run Time” as well as the
“Battery Raw” to see at what voltage the EMS cuts out at. “Run Time” is the amount of
time, in seconds, that the EMS has been turned on for. If you notice that this Channel
resets to zero while the EMS is communicating with the computer and the vehicle is
being cranked, that means the EMS has had lower than 8 Volts at some point and has
reset the system. A thorough wiring check may reveal a large voltage drop causing
this problem, or it may simply be the need for a new or a larger battery.
• AEM adapter harness
The 2006-2008 Honda S2000 uses an electronically controlled throttle which will
remain controlled by the original ECU. The adapter harness provided will allow the
user to retain the original electronically controlled throttle while still being able to
control all other engine management aspects that you have come to expect from
AEM. In addition, the stock instrument cluster, air conditioning, and emissions controls
will continue to work as normal controlled by the original Honda ECU.
• Vehicle speed sensor
Currently, the speed sensor is the only circuit that causes a check engine light. This
will not affect the function of the electronically controlled throttle.
• Engine Wiring Harnesses, ‘swapped’ engine installations
It would be very wise to double-check that the pinout destinations for the circuits is
accurate to the provided documentation. This is especially true if the vehicle contains
a ‘swapped’ engine or if the wiring harness has been cut, spliced, soldered, tapped or
modified in any manner. It is the user’s responsibility to check that the wiring on the
vehicle matches the pinout chart in this document. AEM will not be held responsible
for loss or damage that can occur if the EMS is installed in a vehicle in which the
wiring harness does not match the AEM-supplied pinout chart!
• Retaining original O2 sensor
For the malfunction code for this sensor to remain off, the stock oxygen sensor must
be retained. However, when the air-fuel ratio is too rich with this sensor, in the case of
a turbo application, the check engine light will still come on. This will not have any
affect on the operation of the car including the electronically controlled throttle.
• Knock sensor
In the AEM wiring harness, the stock knock sensor has been tapped rather than
intercepted to keep the stock ECU from thinking it has a malfunction. The knock
sensor is less sensitive but still functional and the calibration for the sensor is lower by
0.3 Volts in the AEMTuner calibration. If you would like the knock sensor to be more
Page 3 of 21
sensitive, you can depin Pin A1 that goes into the stock ECU, but the malfunction
code for this sensor will turn on. If this is done, the knock sensor calibration will need
to have 0.3 Volts added to each breakpoint in the calibration.
• Traction control function
When active, the stock traction control system will be affected by adding the EMS.
The stock traction control system uses throttle, fuel, and ignition changes for the
traction control system. Since the fuel and ignition are no longer controlled by the
stock ECU, these aspects of traction control must now be configured in the calibration
in the EMS. The throttle will still be cut as normal, but the traction and stability control
warning lights will stay on after the system is no longer activated and will reset when
the vehicle is turned off.
• EMS Fuel Map, Boost Fuel Trim Table
The 30-6053 calibration maps provided utilize the “Boost Fuel Trim Table” to provide
a 1:1 fuel compensation above atmospheric pressure. However, since the calibration
was created on a naturally aspirated vehicle (A calibration is provided above 100 kPa)
it has not been tested in boost and must be tuned to your application if turbo or
supercharged. To use this table, the “Boost Fuel Trim Table” should be configured to
provide twice as much fuel when the manifold pressure is twice as high and half the
fuel when the manifold pressure is half as high; this should help simplify the tuning
process for different vacuum and boost levels. Notice the values in the main “Fuel
Map” do not change above 100 kPa (0 psi boost), the fuel correction is being made by
the “Boost Fuel Trim Table.”
Note: the “Boost Fuel Trim Table” must be adjusted if a different MAP sensor is
installed or if the Load breakpoints are adjusted. The Boost Fuel Trim value should be
set to -90 at 10kPa, 0 at 100 kPa, +100 at 200 kPa, +200 at 300 kPa, etc…
• Wiring accessories to the EMS
Please follow this suggested wiring diagram when adding new accessories and
retaining original accessories such as UEGO gauges, MAP sensors, MAF sensors,
IAT sensors, or switches for use with the EMS. Note that wire polarity is not important
for the Air Temperature sensor.

Connect provided adapter harness to factory wiring harness and stock ECU. Then
route the harness from the stock ECU through the driver’s side door sill and
underneath the driver’s side seat. Take note of the bends that the harness will
require so that the plastic cover that protects the harness will fit over the AEM
wiring harness. A few zip ties will hold the harness against the stock ECU so that
the clutch pedal will not contact it. See photo above to get an idea of the stock
clearance of the ECU and clutch pedal.

b) Next remove the metal pin from the plastic connector by lightly prying on the plastic
tabs that secure the metal pin in the plastic connector while pulling on the wire at the
same time as shown below.
Pry this tab up to release the pin While prying tab up, gently pull pin back
3) Install the AEM Engine Management System
a) Plug the provided wiring harness into the AEM EMS and position it so the wires are
not pulled tight or stressed in any manner.
b) Secure the EMS with the provided Velcro fasteners behind driver’s side seat.
c) Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
d) Plug the communications cable into the EMS and into your PC.
e) Turn the ignition on, but do not attempt to start the engine.
f) At the time these instructions were written, new EMS units do not require USB drivers
to be installed on the PC. The EMS will automatically be detected as a human
interface device (HID).
g) With the AEMTuner software open, select ECU>>Upload Calibration to upload the
startup calibration file (.cal) that most closely matches the vehicle’s configuration to
be tuned. Check the Notes section of the calibration for more info about the vehicle it
was configured for. These files can be found in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\AEM\AEMTuner\Calibrations\Honda - Acura\
Page 9 of 21
h) NOTE: the throttle range on this vehicle is set differently from other EMS applications!
Disconnect the DBW connector on the throttle, then perform the procedure as follows
by holding the throttle open and closed manually at the throttle plate.
Set the throttle range: Select Wizards>>Set Throttle Range. When finished, check
that the ‘Throttle’ channel never indicates less than 3.2% or greater than 99.8% (must
be 2.2% or more since the DBW throttle will close slightly when the engine starts),
this is considered a sensor error and may cause some functions including idle
feedback and acceleration fuel to operate incorrectly. Since this application uses the
original drive-by-wire system, it is highly recommended that after calibration is
complete, the throttle is rechecked to ensure that the minimum throttle never causes
the Error Throttle channel to turn on. This would happen when the vehicle is off and
the key is turned on.
4) Ready to begin tuning the vehicle.
a) Before starting the engine, verify that the fuel pump runs for a couple of seconds
when the key is turned on and there is sufficient pressure at the fuel rail.
If a MAP sensor is installed, check that the Engine Load indicates something near
atmospheric pressure (approximately 101kPa or 0 PSI at sea level) with the key on
and engine off. Press the throttle and verify that the ‘Throttle’ channel responds but
the Engine Load channel continues to measure atmospheric pressure correctly.
b) Start the engine and make whatever adjustments may be needed to sustain a safe
and reasonably smooth idle. Verify the ignition timing: Select Wizards>>Ignition
Timing Sync from the pull-down menu. Click the ‘Lock Ignition Timing’ checkbox
and set the timing to a safe and convenient value (10 degrees BTDC for instance).
Remove the cylinder 1 ignition coil (closest to front of engine), add a spark plug wire
between the ignition coil and the spark plug and place the timing light pickup on the
added spark plug wire. Use a timing light to compare the physical timing numbers to
the timing value you selected. Use the Sync Adjustment Increase/Decrease buttons
to make the physical reading match the timing number you selected.
Crankshaft timing marks are not labeled for some vehicles. Consult the factory
service manual for more information. The diagram below shows labels for the original
timing marks. “A” points to the timing indicator and “B” points to the red mark that is
located 5° before top dead center.
Page 10 of 21
c) Note: This calibration needs to be properly tuned before driving the vehicle. It is
intended for racing vehicles and may not operate smoothly at idle or part-throttle.
NEVER TUNE THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING
5) Troubleshooting an engine that will not start
a) Double-check all the basics first. Engines need air, fuel, compression, and a
correctly-timed spark event. If any of these are lacking, we suggest checking simple
things first. Depending on the symptoms, it may be best to inspect fuses, sufficient
battery voltage, properly mated wiring connectors, spark using a timing light or by
removing the spark plug, wiring continuity tests, measure ECU pinout voltages,
replace recently-added or untested components with known-good spares. Check that
all EMS sensor inputs measure realistic temperature and/or pressure values.
b) If the EMS is not firing the coils or injectors at all, open the Start tab and look for the
‘Stat Sync’d’ channel to turn ON when cranking. This indicates that the EMS has
detected the expected cam and crank signals; if Stat Sync’d does not turn on,
monitor the Crank Tooth Period and T2PER channels which indicate the time
between pulses on the Crank and T2 (Cam) signals. Both of these channels should
respond when the engine is cranking, if either signal is not being detected or
measuring an incorrect number of pulses per engine cycle the EMS will not fire the
coils or injectors.
c) If the Engine Load changes when the throttle is pressed this usually indicates that
there is a problem with the MAP sensor wiring or software calibration (when the EMS
detects that the MAP Volts are above or below the min/max limits it will run in a
failsafe mode using the TPS-to-Load table to generate an artificial Engine Load signal
using the Throttle input). This may allow the engine to sputter or start but not continue
running properly.
