Upgraded EKP Module Wiring Harness Installation Instructions
Our upgraded EKP Module Wiring Harnesses are designed to supply the EKP Module with power directly from the battery. Please follow the instructions below to ensure proper installation.
Important: Make sure you keep note of where each wire is located in the OEM connector so that it can be placed in the exact same spot of the new connector
Step 1: Disconnect the negative terminal on your battery before beginning the installation. This will ensure that there are no accidental shorts when de-pinning the OEM EKP Module connector.
Step 2: Run the new wiring harness from your battery to the EKP Module. At this point, leave the battery disconnected still.
Step 3: Remove the OEM EKP Module Connector from your EKP Module. Once the connector is removed, you'll need to open the connector from both sides to access the pins.
Step 4: Open the connector's top and bottom sides by using a small pick tool or small flathead screwdriver to pry apart the plastic clips as shown below:
Step 5: Locate the green wire with the red stripe on it. This is the wire for KL-15, which activates the EKP Module when the ignition is turned on or whenever KL-15 wakes up. Use a small pick tool or de-pinning tool to push down on the metal tab that's securing the wire into the connector. Then gently pull back on the wire with the metal tab still pressed down as shown below:
Step 6: Pry up the plastic on the connector's top to access the metal tab again on KL-15's wire. Then press down on the metal connector once more, while gently pulling the rest of the wire out:
Step 7: Access the metal tab for the red wire, which is CAN_L. You'll need to remove this in the same manner that you removed the wire for KL-15. Make sure to gently remove the wire so that no damage occurs to the wire.
Step 8: Flip the connector over and remove the blue and red striped wire, which is CAN_H. The process for removal is the same as CAN_L and KL-15, which were removed in the previous steps:
Step 9: Open the new EKP Module connector as you did in Step 4.
Step 10: Install the wires that you removed into the new EKP Module connector from the Upgraded EKP Wiring Harness. The wires will need to be pushed all the way into the connector as they were in the OEM connector. You should feel or hear a click when they are securely in place. Make sure that you re-install the wires in the exact same spot that they came out of on your OEM connector or your EKP Module will likely not work and may become damaged if the wires are not re-installed in the exact same spot.
Step 11: Once the wires have been securely moved into the new EKP Module connector. Make sure to close the connector on both sides to ensure that the wires do not come out or move.
Step 12: Run the Upgraded EKP Module to Fuel Pump connector from the EKP Module's location to the fuel pump's top hat. If you still have an OEM setup and wish to retain the rubber seal / boot between wiring and seat seal, you will need to modify the rubber seal to accept the larger wires and connector.
Step 13: Once the wiring is ran between the EKP Module and Fuel Pump, you can connect the fuel pump to the EKP Module. At this point, leave the white EKP Module connector unplugged.
Step 14: Connect the EKP Module's wiring harness directly to the battery. Make sure that you connect the red wire with the in-line fuse to the positive terminal on the battery. This can be done by removing the 13mm nut on top of the positive terminal and then securing the ring terminal to the positive terminal and then re-installing the 13mm nut. Do the same on the negative battery terminal with the black wire. This will be a 10mm nut instead.
Step 15: Once the wiring is all set, re-connect the negative battery terminal and then connect the white EKP Module connector to the EKP Module. From there, make sure the ignition turns on correctly. If the ignition is working fine, start the car and make sure that there are no errors. If no errors are present, the installation went correctly.
