Meter Hood(Backside)Line up the screw holes on theoriginal tachometer with the screw
holes on the meter hood and lightly
fasten with the double-sided tape.
*Do not press to strongly on the tape;it may become difficult to remove.

Meter Hood (Backside)① Remove the standard tachometer
Unscrew the two screws (torque screw T30 x 2) from the base at the back of the tachometer and remove it by pulling it forward. (As the wiring for the tachometer is connected toinside the steering column it cannot be removed. Carry out all operations with the wiring
pulled out but connected.)*Make sure not to lose any removed parts.

TroubleshootingTrouble
Does not work with Engine start.

Possible Causes
Poor connection of meter cable, OBD connector or fuse.
If wiring has been direct to power the red wire may havebeen improperly wired or there is a poor connection.

Possible Solutions
Please reconfirm whether wiring andconnections are correct or not.

The opening demo works fine, but after that nothing happens.

The unit has been installed into an incompatible car model.

Please check the “Fitting List”.

The displayed values are different from the standard meter.

The unit has been installed into an incompatible car model.

Please check the “Fitting List”.

Due to the ECU information received, the displayed values on this product may differ from those of standard or other meters.
The boost pressure display is different from the standard orother meter.

This product’s boost meter reads absolute pressure and may differ from a meter using relative pressure.

With the key in the ON position the boost needles points to aminus reading.

The sensor for absolute pressure is subtracting for barometric pressure and hence the display showsminus. (EX: Elevation of 700 meters = minus 8 kPa)

Before the opening demo starts the needle briefly moves.

This is due to a special characteristic of the meter and is not a malfunction.

I can’t change the display.

Poor connection of 2-pin connector.

Please reconfirm whether wiring andconnections are correct or not.

Upon star ting up, the unit will star t in the newlychanged mode.

Because after changing modes, if the car’s engine is turned off within 3 seconds, the new setting will not
be stored, make sure to wait at least 3 seconds before turning the engine off.
