MINI MAXX INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SECTION 1: MOUNTING THE MINI MAXX
In this section you will decide where to mount the Mini Maxx Cradle, so you are essentially choosing the loca­tion for the Mini Maxx inside the vehicle cab. First, decide which mounting style you will choose for the Mini Maxx; we oer two dierent styles of mounting:
1. Windshield mounting
2. Custom Pod mounting (Refer to the instructions included with your custom pod)
Visit hsperformance.com for custom options
INSTALLATION CONTINUED
WINDSHIELD MOUNTING
1. Locate the T-shaped mount socket on the back side of the Mini Maxx.
2. Notice that the top of the universal mount will t into T-shaped socket and slide forward to secure the Mini Maxx to the mount.
3. With the Mini Maxx connected to the mount use the windshield mount to secure the Mini Maxx to the wind- shield. Be sure that the position of the Mini Maxx does not obstruct the view of the road or distract the driver from their primary responsibility, which is driving responsible.

SECTION 2: INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL PYROMETER AND THE PYROMETER CONNECTION
HEAD PCH
* The Pyrometer and PCH are optional and some vehicles will not require them. Your vehicle may have a factory solution for reading Exhaust Gas Temperatures.
In this section you will drill and tap the Pyrometer Probe in the exhaust, either pre-turbo or post­turbo as a means to collect exhaust gas temperatures (EGT). Exhaust gas temperatures indicate how hot the motor is getting and can be used to set safety defueling parameters.
POSTTURBO VS. PRETURBO
You must decide between mounting the Pyro Probe either post-turbo or pre-turbo. The dierence in location determines what temperatures will read on your Mini Maxx. Pre-turbo mounting is gener­ally recommended because it provides more accurate EGT readings.
The Mini Maxx is capable of running two pyrometers simultaneously. Please purchase an extra probe if you wish to read pre AND post turbo pyrometers.
Page 12
12 Mini Maxx Installation Manual • www.hsperformance.com
INSTALLATION CONTINUED
PRETURBO MOUNT
1. Drill a 5/16” hole into the exhaust manifold where all the exhaust runners of the manifold come togeth­er, just before the turbo exhaust inlet. Then tap the hole with a 1/8” NPT tap and mount the Pyrometer Probe in the hole. Use a 9/16” wrench to tighten the probe holder or tube tting to the down tube. Then tighten the Pyro Probe Cap to the holder using a 9/16” wrench.
2. Run the Pyro Cable up to engine bay; let the end of the cable sit while installing the PCH Board.
For pictures and vehicle specic information, see the Vehicle Specic Features/Info Section starting on Page 30
WARNING: If any debris such as drill bits and metal shavings drop inside the manifold, we advise
that the manifold be removed from the vehicle so that the debris can be removed before starting the vehicle again.
TOOL TIP, PRETURBO MOUNT
When drilling into the exhaust manifold, metal spews, shavings, and broken drill bits can fall inside. This can be hazardous to your turbo when the engine starts. Try doing four things to avoid this possible prob­lem. One, use a high quality twist bit and a slow speed drill, about 500-800 rpm. Two, start with a small pilot bit about 1/8”, then use the full 5/16” bit after the smaller one has punched through. Three, grease your drill bit in addition to the normal lubricant, this will catch ying spews as they are cut. Four, just prior to punching through into the inside of the manifold, start the engine and build up exhaust pressure on the inside of the manifold (blows spews outside the manifold instead of letting them fall inside).
POSTTURBO MOUNT
1. Find a location on the exhaust pipe that is 3-6” downstream from the turbo charger output. Then drill a
5
/16” hole and run a 1/8” NPT tap into the hole. Mount the Pyrometer Probe in the threaded hole using a
9
/16” wrench to tighten the probe holder or tube tting to the down tube. Then tighten the Pyro Probe
Cap to the holder using a 9/16” wrench.
2. Run the Pyro Cable along the brim of the engine bay, and then let the end sit when installing the PCH Board.

INSTALLING THE PCH BOARD
The pyrometer that was installed will now have to be connected to the PCH Board, but rst the PCH Board needs to be mounted in a secure location that both of the pyrometer ends can reach.
1. Gather all of the parts of the PCH Board assembly:
•PyrometerConnectionHeadwithPCHCable
•Self-tappingSheetMetalScrews
•Velcro
•Jumper
•ZipTies
2. The PCH Board needs to be mounted in a location that is secure (away from extreme heat and mov­ing parts), and in a location in which the end of the Pyrometer Cable can easily reach.
3. Use the sheet metal screws or Velcro, or both to securely attach the PCH Board to a safe location within the engine bay.
4. To connect the end of the Pyrometer Cable to the PCH Board, rst remove the screw and nut on the end of the pyrometer leads, then remove the screws from the Pyro 1 heads on the PCH Board. Use those screws to secure the Pyrometer Cable leads to the PCH Pyro 1 heads, see the PCH As­sembly Diagram (pg. 19) for a visual reference when connecting the pyrometer leads to the PCH Board.
Notice: Do not remove the jumper from the Pyrometer 2 location unless you are installing a second pyrometer.
If connecting two pyrometers keep track of which location, Pyro 1 or 2, each pyrometer was attached to on the PCH Board
5. Once the PCH Board is secure and the pyrometer is connected to the PCH Board, use zip ties to secure the pyrometer cables away from extreme heat and moving parts.
6. Run the end of the PCH Cable through the re wall. It will need to be connected to the OBDII Adapter Plug. Use zip ties to secure all remaining cable left inside the engine bay.

Note: On some vehicles it is recommended to move the OBDII port to a safer location. Because the Mini Maxx will
remain plugged in, the adapter can be kicked/bumped and broken. Please move your OBDII connection to a safer location if you feel it is in a position that may allow it to get damaged.
Page 15
1-888-628-1730 • Mini Maxx Installation Manual 15
SECTION 4: INSTALLING THE POWER WIRE *OPTIONAL
*The OBD II port provides constant 12V+ power, so your Mini Maxx can power o of the OBD II port alone. But in this situation the Mini Maxx will not turn on and o with the ignition. There is a switch on the OBDII
adapter plug in order to turn the Mini Maxx on and o.
In this section you will run the Power Wire coming from the Mini Maxx Cradle to the vehicle fuse box and connect it to the fuse locations specied below. The fuse location for the Power Wire is dierent on each vehicle application.
CONNECTING THE POWER WIRE:
1. Route wire to location shown in pictures found in the Vehicle Specic Section on page 30
2. Remove the fuse, indicated in the pictures, and insert the fuse jack. Make sure that the fuse jack is placed on the dead side of the fuse to ensure that the Mini Maxx is protected by the fuse. Use a volt meter to verify the dead side of the fuse. With the fuse pulled and the truck powered on but not started, the volt meter should read 0 volts on the fuse jack to ground. Problems that can occur if the incorrect fuse is used for this connection: the power may stay on continuously even with the key o; or, the Mini Maxx can receive power at the incorrect time of the power-on/starting cycle of the vehicle.
3. Run the power wire through the re wall before preparing the Power Wire. Prepare the Power Wire by stripping the end of the wire about ¼”. Connect the blue 90° connector to the end of the Power Wire using crimping pliers.
4. Connect the Power Wire to the fuse jack, place the fuse back into the slot, and close the fuse box.

Speed Limiter
This option allows for the adjustment of the factory speed limiter. Most 5.9L Cummins trucks have a 106 MPH speed limiter from the factory. The limiter can be adjusted from 50 MPH to 200 MPH. This
option can only be adjusted during the Install Download process.
Rev Limiter
This option allows for the adjustment of the factory rev limiter. Most 5.9L Cummins trucks have a 3500 RPM rev limiter from the factory. The limiter can be adjusted from 3000 RPM to 5000 RPM. This
option can only be adjusted during the Install Download process.
Torque Management (Automatic Transmission Only)
This option allows for the disabling of the vehicles torque management for those equipped with automatic transmissions. This is recommend for those running standalone aftermarket TCM/trans­mission packages but will also slightly improve throttle response on a stock truck.
NOTE: By turning the torque management OFF, the PRNDL display will be lost as well as the reverse lights.
Tire Size Calibration
This option allows for the re-calibration of the factory speedometer to adjust for non-stock sized tires. For the most accurate speedometer reading when using non-stock sized tires, it is best to measure the diameter of the tire using a tape measure rather than going by the printed tire size. In additon, using a GPS is a great way to dial in your factory speedometer. Entering a larger tire size will cause the factory speedometer to read higher while entering a smaller tire size will cause the factory speedometer to read lower. The tire size can be adjusted from 24” to 42”. This option only
takes a few seconds to change and can be adjusted at any time from the Tire Size Calibration menu.
Keyed Ignition Source Location
Although it is possible to manually power up the Mini Maxx without using a keyed ignition source, it can sometimes create communication issues between the Mini Maxx and the vehicles ECM. To eliminate these problems, we highly recommend tapping into a 12V keyed ignition source to supply power to the Mini Maxx only when the key is in the ON position and the vehicles ECM is online. Below you will nd a commonly used 12V keyed ignition source for your vehicle:
2006-2007 5.9L - FUSE NUMBER 30
Always tap into the cold side of the fuse. On the 2006 - 2007 5.9L Cummins, the cold side is towards the drivers side of the vehicle.
2003 - 2005 5.9L - FUSE NUMBER 50
Always tap into the cold side of the fuse. On the
Page 32
32 Mini Maxx Installation Manual • www.hsperformance.com
2003 - 2005 5.9L Cummins, the cold side is towards the front of the vehicle.
NOTE: If your fuse box or wiring looks dierent than those pictured
or if you are not getting 12V ignition power from the pictured source, you may need to nd another 12V keyed ignition source using a test light or multimeter. If possible, nd one that stays hot during engine cranking.
Pyrometer (EGT) Location
If you are installing an optional H&S pyrometer kit on your 5.9L Cummins, you have the option of installing it pre-turbo or post-turbo (or both if you purchased an additional thermocouple). For the most accurate EGT readings, we recommend installing the pyrometer pre-turbo where all runners collect on the exhaust manifold as seen below:
NOTE: Some exhaust manifolds have a divider down the center of
the collector so it’s generally not a good idea to drill right in the center, shift to either side 1/4” and drill there.
For those wanting to install the pyrometer post-turbo, we usually recommend doing so in the cast elbow connected to the turbo as seen below:
NOTE: Post-turbo EGT readings can be up to 400 degrees cooler
than pre-turbo EGT readings. Keep that in mind when monitoring your EGTs with a post-turbo pyrometer.
**Pre-turbo mount is recommended.

Overdrive Transmission Software
Did you know that your H&S tuning device also has the capability of tuning your transmission? If your 5.9L Cummins is equipped with the 48RFE automatic transmission, you may want to check out our Overdrive Transmission Software. Custom tailored to mate with H&S engine tuning, the 5.9L Overdrive software includes modied torque converter lock/unlock strategies that will command the TC to lock in 3rd gear under wide open throttle and hold it locked through 4th gear. Light throttle torque converter strategies have also been changed to lock-up sooner, keeping more power directed to the road instead of wasted in heat and friction. Shift points are modied to take advantage of the available horsepower and torque output. On a 2006 Cummins with a stock

When running DPF REMOVED tuning, it is recommended that all sensors located in the factory exhaust system be unplugged from the electrical harnesses. These sensors can also be removed completely with the factory exhaust if desired. On the 2007.5 - 2009 6.7L Cum­mins, there are usually 3 EGT Sensors, 2 O2 Sensors, and 1 Pressure Sensor.
EGR Unplug / Delete
If you are installing H&S DPF REMOVED tuning, you must unplug the EGR system on your 2007.5 - 2009
6.7L Cummins if not installing an EGR delete. Failing to do so may result in erratic engine operation and loss of power. Please follow these instructions carefully to unplug and disable the EGR system:
1. Locate the EGR Throttle Control Valve Assembly (Fig.1). Assembly is located between the inter­cooler and intake manifold on the drivers side of the engine compartment.
2. Unplug the EGR Throttle Control Valve wiring harness. The harness is LIGHT GRAY in color and is located on the back side of the Throttle Control Valve Assembly. It is not directly visible when looking at the assembly from above. On some vehicles, it may be easier to see and unplug the harness from underneath the vehicle. Note: There is a red locking tab that must be moved sideways on the harness in order for it to be unplugged.
3. Locate the EGR solenoid on top of the intake manifold (Fig.2). It is directly visible when looking at the intake manifold and faces towards the front of the vehicle.
4. Unplug the EGR solenoid wiring harness. The connector is BROWN in color.
Speed Limiter
This option allows for the adjustment of the factory speed limiter. Most 6.7L Cummins trucks have a 106 MPH speed limiter from the factory. The limiter can be adjusted from 55 MPH to 200 MPH. This option can only be adjusted during the Install Download process.

normal and the Enable/Disable function is still working properly.
Stationary Idle Adjust:
The Stationary Idle Adjust Menu will allow you to adjust the idle speed of your vehicle while in Park or Neutral using your H&S tuning device. Choose the desired idle speed and select Set to set the idle speed to the chosen RPM. Idle speed can be adjusted from 700 RPM to 1500 RPM.
Keyed Ignition Source Location
Although it is possible to manually power up the Mini Maxx without using a keyed ignition source, it can sometimes create communication issues between the Mini Maxx and the vehicles ECM. To eliminate these problems, we highly recommend tapping into a 12V keyed ignition source to supply power to the Mini Maxx only when the key is in the ON position and the vehicles ECM is online. Below you will nd a commonly used 12V keyed ignition source for your vehicle:
2010 6.7L Pickup and 2011 6.7L Cab & Chassis FUSE NUMBER M45
Always tap into the cold side of the fuse. On the 2010 Pickup and 2011 Cab & Chassis, the cold side is towards the front of the vehicle.
2011-2012 6.7L Pickup FUSE NUMBER M33
Always tap into the cold side of the fuse. On the 2011 Pickup, the cold side is towards the front of the vehicle.

NOTE: If your fuse box or wiring looks dierent than those pictured or if you are not getting 12V ignition power from
the pictured source, you may need to nd another 12V keyed ignition source using a test light or multimeter. If pos-
sible, nd one that stays hot during engine cranking.
Pyrometer (EGT) Location
If you are installing an optional H&S pyrometer kit on your 6.7L Cummins, you have the op­tion of installing it pre-turbo or post-turbo (or both if you purchased an additional thermo­couple).
For the most accurate EGT readings, we recommend installing the pyrometer pre-turbo where all runners collect on the exhaust manifold as seen below:
NOTE: Some exhaust manifolds have a divider down the center of the
collector so it’s generally not a good idea to drill right in the center, shift to either side 1/4” and drill there.
For those wanting to install the pyrometer post-turbo, we usually recommend doing so in the cast elbow connected to the turbo as seen below:
NOTE: Post-turbo EGT readings can be up to 400 degrees cooler than
pre-turbo EGT readings. Keep that in mind when monitoring your EGTs with a post-turbo pyrometer.
Overdrive Transmission Software
Did you know that your H&S tuning device also has the capability of tuning your transmission? If your 6.7L Cummins is equipped with the 68RFE Automatic Transmission, you may want to check out our Overdrive Transmission Software. Custom tailored to mate with H&S engine tuning, the 6.7L Overdrive software includes boosted line pressures, modied full and part throttle torque converter lock/unlock strategies, adjusted full and part throttle shift points, adjusted full and part throttle shift rmness, modied torque management tables, and much more! All changes are designed to keep more power directed to the road instead of wasted in heat and friction. On our test trucks, we have seen 0.2 to 0.3 second quicker 1/4 mile

EGR Delete
With H&S tuning installed, the EGR system on the 6.0L Powerstroke can be completely removed with an EGR Delete Kit while remaining code free.
Speed Limiter
This option allows for the removal of the factory speed limiter. Most 6.0L Powerstroke trucks have a 95 MPH speed limiter from the factory. The limiter can be removed completely or left stock (this may change so be sure to visit www.hsperformance.com for product updates). This option can only be changed during the Install Download process.
Tire Size Calibration
(Not currently available for the 2003 - 2007 6.0L Powerstroke. This may change so be sure to visit www. hsperformance.com for product updates) This option allows for the re-calibration of the factory
speedometer to adjust for non-stock sized tires. For the most accurate speedometer reading when using non-stock sized tires, it is best to measure the diameter of the tire using a tape measure rather than going by the printed tire size. In addition, using a GPS is a great way to dial in your factory speedometer. Entering a larger tire size will cause the factory speedom­eter to read higher while entering a smaller tire size will cause the factory speedometer to read lower. This option can only be adjusted during the Install Download process.

light or multimeter. If possible, nd one that stays hot during engine cranking.
Pyrometer (EGT) Location
If you are installing an optional H&S pyrometer kit on your 6.0L Powerstroke, you have the option of installing it pre-turbo or post-turbo (or both if you purchased an additional thermocouple).
For the most accurate EGT readings, we recommend installing the pyrometer pre-turbo in the driver side exhaust manifold as seen below:
NOTE: The driver side exhaust manifold can be easily accessed from
underneath the vehicle. Be sure to drill straight into the exhaust manifold otherwise the pyrometer probe may hit the manifold wall
during installation.
For those wanting to install the pyrometer post-turbo, we usually recommend doing so somewhere in the downpipe.
NOTE: The downpipe is pretty thin in most places, so be extra careful when tapping and installing the probe tting.
Post-turbo EGT readings can be up to 400 degrees cooler than pre-turbo EGT readings. Keep that in mind when monitoring your EGTs with a post-turbo pyrometer.

DPF Selection
The DPF or Diesel Particulate Filter is part of the factory ex­haust system on the 6.4L Powerstroke. H&S oers tuning that allows the DPF to be left in place, or removed completely.
If you are planning on leaving the exhaust system stock with the DPF in place, you will select PRESENT.
If you have already removed the DPF or if you plan on remov­ing the DPF immediately after installing your H&S tuning device, you will select REMOVED. If you select REMOVED, you must Accept our DPF Disclaimer in order to continue with the Install Download process.
DPF / Exhaust Sensors
When running DPF PRESENT tuning, it is required that all sensors located in the exhaust system stay in place and plugged in, otherwise you may experience a Check Engine Light (CEL) and even a loss of power (limp mode).
When running DPF REMOVED tuning, it is recommended that all sensors located in the fac­tory exhaust system be unplugged from the electrical harnesses. These sensors can also be removed completely with the factory exhaust if desired. On the 6.4L Powerstroke, there are usually 2 EGT Sensors and 1 Pressure Sensor.
NOTE: The vehicle will not run with sensors removed unless DPF REMOVED tuning is installed.
EGR Unplug / Delete
When running H&S DPF REMOVED tuning, it is not required to unplug or block-o the EGR system on your 6.4L Powerstroke to disable it. The EGR system is already disabled in the tuning and will not function under any conditions. If desired, the entire EGR system can be unplugged, blocked-o, or completely removed when running H&S DPF REMOVED tuning.

Low Boost Fueling Adjustment
This adjustment allows you to limit the amount of fuel delivered based upon turbo boost levels. 0 will have the least smoke output, 5 will have the most. By skipping this feature, the tuning will default to level 2.
Speed Limiter
This option allows for the adjustment of the factory speed limiter. Most 6.4L Powerstroke trucks have a 95 MPH speed limiter from the factory. The limiter can be adjusted from 55 MPH to 200 MPH. This option can only be adjusted during the Install Download process.
Tire Size Calibration
This option allows for the re-calibration of the factory speedometer to adjust for non-stock sized tires. For the most accurate speedometer reading when using non-stock sized tires, it is best to measure the diameter of the tire using a tape measure rather than going by the printed tire size. In additon, using a GPS is a great way to dial in your factory speedometer. Entering a larger tire size will cause the factory speedometer to read higher while entering a smaller tire size will cause the factory speedometer to read lower. The tire size can be adjust­ed from 25” to 45”. This option can only be adjusted during the Install Download process.
TPMS Adjustability / Disable
Many 2008 - 2010 6.4L Powerstrokes are equipped with a TPMS or Tire Pressure Monitoring System from the factory. This system is designed to alert the driver of a problem with the vehicles tire pressures but is often a nagging inconvenience for those individuals want­ing to run lower pressures or get rid of the TPMS sensors altogether. H&S Performance has a designed solution for those individuals. By using your H&S tuning device and a 6.4L Powerstroke TPMS Adapter (Part #709913), you will have full control of the TPMS. Front and rear tire pressures will be independently adjustable from 0 - 100 PSI as well as the option to Disable the TPMS completely if removing the TPMS sensors from the vehicle. All changes to the TPMS must be done with the 6.4L Powerstroke TPMS Adapter in place and the Adapter must be removed after changes are made to resume normal tuner function.
Transmission Relearn
The 5R110 automatic transmission on the 2008 - 2010 6.4L Powerstroke has what is called Adaptive Memory and is constantly learning and adapting to dierent horsepower levels, temperatures, driving habits, etc. After completing the Install Download process on the 6.4L Powerstroke, the Transmission Adaptive Memory is automatically reset. We highly recom­mend performing a Transmission Relearn procedure after installing H&S tuning to help the transmission perform correctly with the added horsepower. The 5R110 automatic trans­mission will eventually learn over time on its own, but the relearn procedure gives a good
Page 46
46 Mini Maxx Installation Manual • www.hsperformance.com
baseline for the adaptive learning and helps to speed up the learning process. To perform the relearn procedure, please follow these instructions:
When re-training the transmission, ALWAYS follow posted speed limits. Do NOT at­tempt runs in adverse weather conditions such as snow, ice, rain, wind, or any other conditions that may aect your vehicles traction or impair your visibility!
1. After H&S tuning is installed, perform each of the following 0-80 MPH runs while in the HOT power level. During this relearn process, you may experience hesitation during shifts, hard shifts, or defuel patterns, all of which are normal:
• 0-80 MPH @ 25% throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop.
• 0-80 MPH @ 50% throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop.
• 0-80 MPH @ 100% throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop.
The Transmission Relearn procedure is complete.
NOTE: On any vehicle using 3” or larger lift blocks under the rear leaf pack, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to install
traction bars. With any added horsepower, failure to do so may result in harsh shifting and may cause premature
transmission and/or driveline damage.
Keyed Ignition Source Location
Although it is possible to manually power up the Mini Maxx without using a keyed ignition source, it can sometimes create communication issues between the Mini Maxx and the vehicles ECM. To eliminate these problems, we highly recommend tapping into a 12V keyed ignition source to supply power to the Mini Maxx only when the key is in the ON position and the vehicles ECM is online. Below you will nd a commonly used 12V keyed ignition source for your vehicle:
SOLID PURPLE WIRE
The SOLID PURPLE wire (capped from the factory) is found under the drivers side dash. This SOLID PURPLE wire is bundled with multiple other capped wires near the OBD-II port.
NOTE: If your fuse box or wiring looks dierent than those pictured
or if you are not getting 12V ignition power from the pictured source, you may need to nd another 12V keyed ignition source us­ing a test light or multimeter. If possible, nd one that stays “hot”
during engine cranking.

Pyrometer (EGT) Location
Unlike the 6.4L Powerstroke, there is no factory EGT sensor to get a reading from on the
6.7L Powerstroke when running DPF REMOVED tuning. Also, due to the reverse head ow design, there are few options for mounting an aftermarket pyrometer pre-turbo. H&S oers a couple solutions for this problem:
1. H&S EGT KIT (Part #302202): For those not wanting to get rid of the entire EGR system
just yet, this is a cheap, easy way to get accurate EGT readings. This kit includes two block­o plates - one for the EGR exhaust inlet and one for the EGR exhaust manifold outlet. A bung is pre-welded on the exhaust manifold block-o plate that allows you to install one of the EGT sensors from the DPF system into the passenger side exhaust manifold. Full color instructions are included with the kit, see www.hsperformance.com/store for more information.
2. H&S EGR DELETE KIT (Part #302201): The H&S EGR Delete Kit for the 2011 - 2012 6.7L
Powerstroke comes with everything you need to remove the entire EGR system from the vehicle and includes a pre-welded bung on the exhaust manifold block-o plate that allows you to install one of the EGT sensors from the DPF system into the passenger side exhaust manifold.

Menu, scroll down until you see the Reset Transmission option. Select Reset Trans­mission and follow the on-screen instructions to reset the transmission adaptive memory.
2. After the transmission reset is complete, it is recommended to perform each of the follow-
ing 0-80 MPH runs while in the HOT power level:
• 0-80 MPH @ 25% throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop.
• 0-80 MPH @ 50% throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop.
• 0-80 MPH @ 100% throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop.
The Transmission Relearn procedure is complete.
NOTE: On any vehicle using 3” or larger lift blocks under the rear leaf pack, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to install
traction bars when adding additional horsepower.
Keyed Ignition Source Location
Although it is possible to manually power up the Mini Maxx without using a keyed ignition source, it can sometimes create communication issues between the Mini Maxx and the vehicles ECM. To eliminate these problems, we highly recommend tapping into a 12V keyed ignition source to supply power to the Mini Maxx only when the key is in the ON position and the vehicles ECM is online. Below you will nd a commonly used 12V keyed ignition source for your vehicle:
FUSE NUMBER 45
Always tap into the cold side of the fuse. On the
2007.5 - 2010 6.6L LMM Duramax, the cold side is towards the front of the vehicle.
NOTE: If your fuse box or wiring looks dierent than those pictured
or if you are not getting 12V ignition power from the pictured source, you may need to nd another 12V keyed ignition source using a test
light or multimeter. If possible, nd one that stays hot during engine cranking.
Pyrometer (EGT) Location
If you are installing an optional H&S pyrometer kit on your 6.6L LMM Duramax, you have the option of installing it pre-turbo or post-turbo (or both if you purchased an additional thermocouple).
For the most accurate EGT readings, we recommend installing the pyrometer pre-turbo in the passenger side exhaust manifold as seen below:
Page 56
56 Mini Maxx Installation Manual • www.hsperformance.com
NOTE: The passenger side exhaust manifold can be easily accessed
with the fender liner removed. Be sure to drill straight into the ex­haust manifold otherwise the pyrometer probe may hit the manifold wall during installation.
For those wanting to install the pyrometer post-turbo, we usually recommend doing so in the downpipe which can also be easily accessed through the passenger side wheel well as seen below:
NOTE: The downpipe is pretty thin in most places, so be extra careful
when tapping and installing the probe tting. Post-turbo EGT read­ings can be up to 400 degrees cooler than pre-turbo EGT readings. Keep that in mind when monitoring your EGTs with a post-turbo pyrometer.

If you have already removed the DPF or if you plan on removing the DPF immediately after installing your H&S tuning device, you will select REMOVED. If you select REMOVED, you must Accept our DPF Disclaimer in order to continue with the Install Download process.
DPF / Exhaust Sensors
When running DPF PRESENT tuning, it is required that all sensors located in the exhaust system stay in place and plugged in, otherwise you may experience a Check Engine Light (CEL) and even a loss of power (limp mode).
When running DPF REMOVED tuning, it is required that all sensors located in the factory exhaust system be unplugged from the electrical harnesses EXCEPT FOR THE PRESSURE SENSOR WHICH MUST REMAIN PLUGGED IN. All sensors other than the Pressure Sensor can be removed completely with the factory exhaust if desired. On the 6.6L LML Duramax, there are usually 3 EGT Sensors, 1 NOx Sensor, 1 UREA Injector, and 1 Pressure Sensor.
The DPF Pressure Sensor is located under the bed in front of the axle on the inside of the passenger side frame rail. You may pull the two rubber lines o of the sensor but DO NOT UNPLUG THIS SENSOR! Un­plugging of the Pressure Sensor may result in erratic engine operation and loss of power.
UREA / SCR System
On the 2011 - 2012 6.6L LML Duramax, there is a UREA system that needs to be unplugged when running DPF REMOVED tuning. The UREA system must at least be unplugged but can be completely removed from the vehicle if desired. Failure to unplug the UREA system may result in a check engine light and/or dash messages, erratic engine operation, and loss of power. Follow these instructions to unplug the UREA system:
1. The urea injector is located between the CAT and DPF above the torsion bar crossmember. Unplug the electrical connection and the urea line.
Page 58
58 Mini Maxx Installation Manual • www.hsperformance.com
2. The main urea harness is the large black harness located near the urea injector above the urea tank. Flip the large gray locking tab to disconnect the harness.
For complete UREA System Removal instructions, visit www.hsperformance.com/tech
EGR Unplug / Delete
If you are installing H&S DPF REMOVED tuning, you must unplug the EGR system on your
6.6L LML Duramax if not installing a complete EGR delete. Failing to do so may result in erratic engine operation and loss of power. Please follow these instructions carefully to unplug and disable the EGR system:
1. Unplug 3 EGR harnesses - two are brown with a yellow locking tab, one is black with a red locking tab (see pictures for locations).
Speed Limiter
This option allows for the removal of the factory speed limiter. Most 6.6L LML Duramax trucks have a 98 MPH speed limiter from the factory. The limiter may be removed complete­ly but WILL result in a loss of cruise control and exhaust brake function. (this may change so be

sure to visit www.hsperformance.com for product updates). This option can only be changed during the
Install Download process.
Tire Size Calibration
(Not currently available for the 2011 - 2012 6.6L LML Duramax. This may change so be sure to visit www.hsperformance.com for product updates). This option allows for the re-calibration of the
factory speedometer to adjust for non-stock sized tires. For the most accurate speedometer reading when using non-stock sized tires, it is best to measure the diameter of the tire using a tape measure rather than going by the printed tire size. In additon, using a GPS is a great way to dial in your factory speedometer. Entering a larger tire size will cause the factory speedometer to read higher while entering a smaller tire size will cause the factory speed­ometer to read lower. This option can only be adjusted during the Install Download process.
NOTE: On some vehicles, entering a tire size larger than 35” may cause the ABS light to illuminate.
Transmission Reset / Relearn
The automatic transmission on the 2011 - 2012 6.6L LML Duramax has what is called Adaptive Memory and is constantly learning and adapting to dierent horsepower levels, temperatures, driving habits, etc. We highly recommend performing a Transmission Reset / Relearn procedure after installing H&S tuning to help the transmission perform correctly with the added horsepower. The transmission will eventually learn over time on its own, but the relearn procedure gives a good baseline for the adaptive learning and helps to speed up the learning process. To perform the relearn procedure, please follow these instructions:
When re-training the transmission, ALWAYS follow posted speed limits. Do NOT at­tempt runs in adverse weather conditions such as snow, ice, rain, wind, or any other conditions that may aect your vehicles traction or impair your visibility!
1. After you have installed the H&S tuning, turn the key to the ON position. From the Main
Menu, scroll down until you see the Reset Transmission option. Select Reset Transmis- sion and follow the on-screen instructions to reset the transmission adaptive memory.
2. After the transmission reset is complete, it is recommended to perform each of the follow-
ing 0-80 MPH runs while in the HOT power level:
• 0-80 MPH @ 25% throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop.
• 0-80 MPH @ 50% throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop.
• 0-80 MPH @ 100% throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop.
The Transmission Relearn procedure is complete.
NOTE: On any vehicle using 3” or larger lift blocks under the rear leaf pack, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to install
traction bars when adding additional horsepower.
