CONNECTING THE ESSENTIALS (ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION) Step 1: Ground Splice the ground wires (Pins 15 & 16 Black) from the Quick 4 into the main ECU (Engine Control Unit) ground wire. Do NOT connect the ground wires to sheet metal or other ground sources.

CONNECTING THE ESSENTIALS (CARBURETED AND MECHANICALLY-INJECTED DIESEL) Step 1: Ground Connect the ground wire (Pin 15 Black) from the Quick 4 directly to the battery ground post or negative battery cable. Do NOT connect the ground wire to sheet metal or other ground sources.

Step 4: Transmission Connectors Connect the Solenoid and TSS cables to the transmission. THE CONNECTORS MUST BE KEYED CORRECTLY for proper transmission operation (see the diagram below for details). Additionally, connect the Neutral Safety Switch and the Backup Lamp Switch. The neutral safety switch isn’t related to the Quick 4 controller or harness, but should be included in every installation.

SETTING UP THE QUICK 4 Step 6: Calibration Verify that the correct calibration is loaded on the Quick 4. A standard calibration specific to your order is loaded before shipment. However, if the transmission configuration has changed since the order was placed, you'll need to connect the Quick 4 to a Windows PC and install the Shiftware Tuning Software, which can be...

If needed, you can manually adjust TPS values by choosing “Adjust Idle” or “Adjust WOT” in the TPS setup menu. Once the TPS calibration procedure is completed, the values are permanently stored in the controller and will be active for every tune written. TPS values displayed within individual tunes are then irrelevant.
NOTES ON INSTALLATION If any error messages or unexpected characters are displayed, refer to the troubleshooting section at the end of this manual for detailed explanations. General Installation The Quick 4 unit should be mounted within the passenger compartment of the vehicle in a protected location.
Page 11
Adaptation for Factory-Equipped Transmissions It is possible to use the Quick 4 controller in a vehicle which was originally equipped with one of the intended transmissions. This could be done in conjunction with an engine management system upgrade that no longer supports the transmission.
OPTIONAL FEATURES MULTI-TUNE This feature allows completely different calibrations to be used for the transmission at any time. The table selection switch can be a latching type switch (maintained toggle switch, latching push-button, etc.) or a momentary type switch (spring-loaded push-button switch, spring-loaded toggle switch, etc.) which applies ground to the table select input at Vehicle connector pin 5 when turned on.
Page 14
4x4 Low Range Detection Low range detection can be enabled if you want the controller to switch to an alternate calibration table when 4x4 low range is engaged. Configure the options in Shiftware under the “2WD/4WD Options” and “Table Select” tabs in the settings window.
Page 15
In some cases, a "pull-up" resistor to 5V or 12V may be needed to provide the proper input to the controlled device. Please contact US Shift tech support if you have any questions regarding the connection of this signal.
Page 16
Manual Mode Switch The Manual Mode switch can be used to turn manual gear selection on or off. The switch can be a latching switch (toggle switch, latching push-button, etc.) or a momentary type switch (spring-loaded push-button switch, spring-loaded toggle switch, etc.) connected to +12v ignition-switched power and pin 4 (brown) of the vehicle harness.
MANUAL SHIFT CONNECTIONS Manutronic Overview If connected and enabled the ManuTronic feature will allow manual selection of all forward gears using paddles, buttons, or another type of switch. With ManuTronic engaged, a brief press of the UPSHIFT button will change to the next higher gear, while DOWNSHIFT will change to the next lower gear.

Shift Buttons with Momentary On / Off Switch For this configuration, you will need to connect the Dark Blue wire (Pin 14 on the Vehicle Connector) to your down-shift button (momentary) and connect the Light Blue wire (Pin 6 on the Vehicle Connector) to your up-shift button (momentary). To connect the on / off switch (momentary), solder one side of the switch onto the Dark Blue down-shift wire and the other side to the Light Blue up-shift wire.
Page 20
Twist Machine Shrifter For this configuration, you will need to connect the Dark Blue wire (Pin 14 on the Vehicle Connector) to channel 2 of the receiver and connect the Light Blue wire (Pin 6 on the Vehicle Connector) to channel 1 of the receiver. You can use either a momentary push-button on / off switch or a latching toggle on / off switch.
Page 21
Lokar Shifter For this configuration, you will need to connect the Dark Blue wire (Pin 14 on the Vehicle Connector) to the blue down-shift wire and connect the Light Blue wire (Pin 6 on the Vehicle Connector) to the blue up-shift wire. To connect the sport mode switch, solder the sport mode switch's red wire onto the Dark Blue down- shift wire with the included 680 Ohm resistor between them.
BUILT-IN DISPLAY The second generation built-in display of the Quick 4 is easier to use and more intuitive. It provides useful information, such as current speed, gear, transmission temperature, and TCC lock status, along with any fault messages. Using the menus, you’ll be able to access many of the same options found in Shiftware.

SHIFTWARE Introduction In most cases, the Quick 4’s built-in tuning menu will allow users to make all the modifications they’ll need without connecting to a PC. However, using the Shiftware software allows you to modify the way your Quick 4 Transmission Control System behaves in greater detail.
Page 29
Customize The main window is where all of the shift points and line pressure editing is done. The graph displays the up-shift and down-shift speeds in relation to throttle position for each shift. It also displays the line pressure & firmness curve in relation to throttle position.
Page 30
If Select Pairs Together is enabled, then the corresponding down-shift point will be automatically selected along with the up-shift point. This can be turned off by clicking the checkbox on the right. You can select multiple points by holding CTRL while clicking the points or a range of points by holding SHIFT and clicking the two points on each end.
Writing a Calibration to the Quick 4 For the changes you've made to take effect on the Quick 4 controller, you first must write the calibration to the unit. Connect the Quick 4 to your computer using a standard USB cord (Type A to Type B).
TROUBLESHOOTING ERROR MESSAGES WARNING! If the transmission does not begin to operate correctly within the first few feet of the road test, STOP immediately, check the troubleshooting guide, and call Baumann Electronic Controls if you need assistance. In some cases, just a few blocks of operation with low fluid pressure can destroy a transmission.

TCC On/Off Solenoid overcurrent error An over-current condition was detected on the torque converter clutch solenoid. A short circuit may be present in the solenoid circuit. The controller will attempt to disable both TCC solenoids until the ignition is turned off. TCC PWM Solenoid overcurrent error An over-current condition was detected on the torque converter clutch pressure solenoid.

Shift Solenoid A (SSA) circuit open The indicated Shift Solenoid’s resistance measured too high during the power- on solenoid check. Refer to the data display screen in the diagnostic menu to see the measured solenoid resistance. Shift Solenoid B (SSB) circuit open The indicated Shift Solenoid’s resistance measured too high during the power- on solenoid check.
