Quick tips:
While the BIM is operating, the dot in the upper left corner of the display will indicate the status. On steady indicates it is
powered up but not receiving any BIM bus activity. Flashing indicates it is communicating on the BIM bus.
If the display shows "" then it is scanning to try and communicate with the EFI system bus but cannot get an answer.
To see the sensor and channel status on the BIM display, press and hold the switch. The display will cycle through
several screens. The first will show the bus type ("" Holley EFI). The next screens will indicate which (if any) extended
data is available: "" for intake/manifold temp, "" for engine oil pressure.
