4. Disconnect the pressure sensor plug from the common rail. The release mechanism for
the plug is located on the bottom side of the plug; a tool may be neccessary to gain enough
leverage to disconnect the plug. To understand how the release mechanism works look at
the module female plug, it is identical to the pressure sensor plug.

5. Connect the female module plug to the rail pressure sensor male end (the end that is
xed to the common rail). Make sure that the locking mechanism is fully secured, the locking mechanism will make a snapping sound when the plugs are completely connected.

Operating the Power Switch:
Changing power levels on the y is as easy
as ipping the power switch, the important
thing to remember is which position is
which power level. Notice that on one end
of the power switch is a notch on a washer
that points away from the top of the switch.
If the the toggle switch is nearest to that
notch then the current power setting is set
to the low setting, the middle setting is
stock and the opposite setting is the highest
power setting. See the descriptions below
for a reference to how each power setting is
aecting the engine.

about the way the car drives, this setting is
usable for situations when another person is
