AccessPORT Installation

Getting Started :

1. You will need the AccessPORT and OBD-II cable to perform the installation. Insert the key into
the vehicle’s ignition.

IMPORTANT!
For installation purposes, it is important to ensure that the vehicle’s battery has adequate power for
both the AccessPORT and the ECU. Because of this, it is recommended that all in-car electronics and
vehicle lights are turned off during the installation process to reduce drain on the vehicle’s battery.
For improved safety during installation, a car battery charger can be connected to the vehicle during
the installation process
