a. Hardware Installation
1. Do not install the ECM to the engine or motor mount. The vibration will damage
the hardware. Route the ECM to a location inside the aircraft and mount it where
vibration is minimal. The ECM does not produce excessive heat and can be
encapsulated in foam to isolate it from vibration if needed.
2. Refer to the diagrams in section 2 for wire harness designations and
connections.
3. Install blue tube between the MAP inlet on the ECM and the MAP outlet on the
throttle body.
