3. THE ECU PATCH HARNESS
3.1 Harness overview
The ECU patch harness is designed as a plug and play solution for the 350Z. It allows the user to have control of
the engine quickly & easily.
The ECU patch harness is designed for the supported vehicles only. Please do not attempt to modify this harness,
as doing so will void warranty as well as potentially damaging the ECU or vehicle.
Figure4. The 350Z ECU Patch harness
3.2 Installing the harness
Please install the Haltech ECU. The factory ECU can be found underneath the dashboard on the passenger’s side
of the vehicle. The Factory ECU connector is a lever type connector.
1. Please disconnect the factory ECU’s harness from the factory ECU.
2. Connect the Haltech 350Z Harness connector to the factory ECU
3. Connect the factory ECU’s harness connector to the Haltech patch loom.
4. Connect the three white connectors of the Haltech patch harness to the Haltech 350Z ECU.
5.
WARNING:
PLEASE DO NOT DISCONNECT ANY ECU CONNECTOR WHY THE ECU
IS STILL POWERED. DOING SO MAY BLOW THE FACTORY ECU 15A
FUSE. PLEASE WAIT 10 SECONDS AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION
SWITCH BEFORE UNPLUGGING ANY COMPONENT

User Manual – Haltech 350Z
3.3 Manifold Pressure Reference
The ECU is fitted with an internal MAP sensor rated to 22PSI (150 KPa). Alternatively an external MAP sensor
can be fitted to the ECU allowing higher manifold pressures. A Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor is required for
all tuning methods. The Manifold Pressure Reference can be set in the Main Setup Page.
Figure3. The ECU showing External MAP sensor port
3.3.1 Installing an external MAP sensor (Optional Accessory)
An external MAP sensor can be fitted to Patch loom via the AMP 4 POS connector.
The wiring for this connector is as follows:
Position Function
1 Ground (0V)
2 Signal
3 +5V
4 No Connection
Figure5. The External MAP sensor connector (4 Position)
Once the MAP sensor has been wired, a calibration must be entered for this sensor to read correctly. This can be
done in the ECU Navigator, Calibrations Group, under MAP Sensor.

3.4 Auxiliary Outputs
The ECU has two Auxiliary Outputs that can be configured via the ECU Manager.
Both outputs can be found on the 3 POS AMP connector fitted to the Patch Harness.
The wiring for this connector is as follows:
Position Function
1 Boost Solenoid Output (Aux Out 1)
2 +12V
3 AUX Out 2
Figure5. The Auxiliary Output Connector (3 Position)
3.4.1 Installing a Boost Control Solenoid (Optional Accessory)
An external Boost Control Solenoid can be fitted to Patch loom via the AMP 3 POS connector.
The wiring for the Boost Control solenoid should be as follows:
Once the Boost control Solenoid has been wired, the ECU must be configured to operate correctly. This can be
done via the Main Setup Page.
3.5 Auxiliary Rev Limiter Input
The ECU has an Auxiliary Rev Limiter that can be configured via the ECU Manager.
The Aux Rev Limiter Input can be found on the 2 POS AMP connector fitted to the Patch Harness.
To activate the Aux Rev Limiter, connect the Aux Rev Limiter Input to the Ground wire.
The wiring for this connector is as follows:

4.1 Communication
To communicate with the ECU, please connect the USB cable between the ECU and the laptop.
Select the connect/disconnect icon, or use the F5 key.
Figure 7: The ECU Connect/disconnect icon.
Once the ECU has been connected, the ECU manager will begin to download the data stored in the ECU. Once
this download has been completed, the ECU status indicator will display “Connected”
4.2 Menu
4.2.1 File
The file menu has options relating to the ECU tuning maps.
Open: Opens a tuning map. If the ECU is currently online, the ECU manager will disconnect from the ECU
before opening this file. If you want to load a new tuning map into the ECU, please use the Upload feature.
Connect: This will start the connection between the ECU and the software. Please make sure the ECU is powered
before selecting “Connect”
Save: This saves the current map to the file already open. If the file has not been saved before, the user will be
prompted to name the file and a location to save the file to.
Save As: The “Save As” button will prompt the user for a name for the file and a location to save the file.
Upload: Upload is to be used when a saved file is to be loaded into the ECU. This will overwrite any existing file
in the ECU. If you wish to only view the saved file, please use the Open button.
Import: The Import function allows the user to import tuning tables or settings from another file.
Exit: To exit the ECU manager software.

5. THE MAIN SETUP
The Main Setup page allows the user to configure the ECU. The Main Setup page can be accessed by selecting
the Setup > Main Setup in the Menu, or by pressing F3. The Main Setup page is split into two pages; the first
page “Main” contains the critical engine running settings, with the second page “Inputs/Outputs” containing the
settings for the Auxiliary functions.
Figure 8: The Main Setup window
5.1 Tuning Configuration
5.1.1 Load Source
MAF: The ECU can be tuned using the factory Mass Air Flow sensor. The units are in g/cyl. Please be aware
that the factory MAF sensors limit can be easily reached and this method is not recommended for forced
induction engines.
MAP: The ECU can be tuned using Manifold Absolute Pressure. The ECU is fitted with an internal MAP
sensor rated to 22PSI (150 KPa). Alternatively an external MAP sensor can be fitted to the ECU
allowing higher manifold pressures. Please see the patch harness diagrams for external MAP sensor
fitting.
TPS: The ECU can be tuned using Throttle Position, or Alpha-N tuning. This input is from the throttle
position sensor found on the drive by wire throttle. Due to the factory ECU still having control of the
drive by wire throttle, throttle position may not always reflect the position of the accelerator pedal.
