    (714) 534-6975 www.jandssafeguard.com SafeGuard Installation 1) The SafeGuard control unit must be mounted inside the passenger compartment. We recommend hiding it under the carpet on the passenger side. The supplied harness is ten feet in length. This allows you to connect either in the engine compartment or directly to the ECU.

If it doesn’t blink, the unit is not receiving or processing triggers. If the car runs normally, skip to step 13. If the engine doesn’t start, leave the key on, and use a voltmeter to make sure that 12 volts is getting to the connector on the Black and Red wires.

The Start knob sets at what boost pressure the boost retard begins. Fully CCW, the boost retard starts at zero psi. The TP (Test Point) is calibrated in volts per psi. Zero volts equals zero psi.

    20° knock control range (mode switch #1 up), each LED is worth two degrees of retard. If the SafeGuard is set for “Retard All” (mode switch #2 up), and it is taking out say, 12° of timing, then you would see the 6th LED on.
