5. With the Haltech ECU installed do not attempt to start the vehicle. You will need to configure the ECU. The Haltech ECU is Pre Configured for use with a K20A standard engine. If this is your setup then you will not have to load a basemap. However, it is still strongly recommended that you check your settings before starting your engine. If another engine or sensor combination is to be used please go online with the ECU using the supplied ECU Manager software and load the basemap which is specific to your model. With the corresponding basemap loaded into the ECU, a standard engine should be able to be started at this point, but it is recommended that you check all settings in the basemap before attempting to start the engine. If your engine is not standard please adjust any configuration settings affected according to your setup.

6. With the engine started and running its time to tune. This is best achieved by your nearest engine tuner. See the listing of Haltech dealers on our website to find the one closest to you. Go to www.haltech.com

ECU Manager File Extensions

When ECU manager saves the map from the Haltech ECU, it saves the map with a Haltech specific file extension.

The File extension can be broken down as follows:

Example File : xxxx.hep3-108

Later map versions cannot be loaded into ECU's with earlier firmware versions.

firmware versions.

ECU Manager upgrades maps between versions where equivalent settings are available. However, new settings not in the original map, will be substituted with values from the new version's default map.

WHENEVER ECU MANAGER CONVERTS YOUR ECU MAP, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK YOUR MAP SETTINGS TO ENSURE THAT ALL THE APPROPRIATE SETTINGS HAVE BEEN CONVERTED CORRECTLY.

The Platinum Pro Plugin Series allows further expansion of your ECU by the Rear Auxiliary Connector. The Rear Auxiliary connector allows you access to:

• 2 Additional Digital Pulsed Outputs ( DPO )

• 2 Additional Digital Switched Outputs ( DSO )

• 2 Additional Analogue Voltage Inputs ( AVI )

• 2 Additional Analogue Temperature Inputs ( ATI )

These extra Inputs / Outputs can be used to:

• Fit additional sensors. (eg MAP and Temperature)

• Control additional devices via relays

• Control additional solenoids directly (eg Aftermarket Boost Control solenoid)

The Rear Auxiliary harness is available as an optional extra. ( HT040003 )

Figure 7 - Rear Auxiliary Harness Connector and Pinout

Digital Pulsed Outputs ( DPO )

Digital Pulsed Outputs are capable of producing pulsed waveforms with varying duty and frequency. DPO's can be used to control various devices such as thermo-fans, shift lights, bypass air control valves, boost control solenoids etc. When a Digital Pulsed output is activated by the ECU the output will switch to ground. Solenoid valves and shift lights etc can be run directly from the output, however high current devices such as thermo-fans and additional fuel pumps must be activated through a relay. This way the DPO is only switching a relay and not a high current draw device. Two additional outputs can be connected using the Optional Rear Auxiliary Harness ( HT040003 )

Digital Pulsed Outputs are limited to 800mA Max current draw.

Digital Switched Outputs ( DSO )

Digital Switched Outputs are capable of switching to ground DSO's can be used to control relays in an on / off state only. Two additional outputs can be connected using the Optional Rear Auxiliary Harness ( HT040003 )

Digital Switched Outputs are limited to 800mA Max current draw.

Analogue Voltage Inputs ( AVI )

Analogue Voltage Inputs accept variable voltage inputs from 0V to 5V. These inputs can also accept switch inputs that change between two different voltage levels. The On Voltage and Off Voltage define what the thresholds are between the On and Off states. The Voltage can be viewed as a channel in the software to determine the thresholds for a switched input. Two additional sensors or switched inputs can be connected using the Optional Rear Auxiliary Harness ( HT040003 )

Analogue Temperature Inputs ( ATI )

Analogue Temperature Inputs accept variable resistance sensors. These inputs have a pull – up resistor connected to them to allow them to be used with most automotive temperature senders ( Variable resistance thermistor types ). Two additional sensors can be connected using the Optional Rear Auxiliary Harness ( HT040003 )

Wire connections

doubt do a pull test on a crimp connector, the wire should break before the wire pulls out of the crimp. Terminal soldering can weaken a connection and should only be used as a last resort. If solder joints are used, ensure joints are well isolated from movement as solder joints are prone to fracture. When splicing 2 wires it is preferable to use a crimp splice – again if using a solder joint, ensure joint is limited in its range of possible movement as solder joints are prone to fracture. Always use heat-shrink sleeving to insulate wires.

The Haltech CAN Network

The Haltech CAN network allows for simple and effective expansion in ECU capability and functionality without having to go to the trouble of wiring in a whole new computer.

Expansion is made possible by the addition of multiple expansion devices that communicate to the main ECU via a Control Area Network (CAN).

Installation time and costs are kept to a minimum as all expansion devices are powered up from the main ECU via the pre-terminated connection cable that comes with each expansion device. Simply connect the device directly to the 8 pin CAN connector on the rear of the ECU or connect using an optional Haltech CAN Hub (order as part # HT0599910) if multiple expansion devices are required).

Each expansion device is pre-programmed with a unique ID code which allows it to be recognised on the network and work correctly first time every time.

For current available expansion devices please go to our website at
