Hardware installation 

 

To guarantee that the system functions properly, it is of utmost importance to adhere to the 
instructions given below. 

 
 

5.1

 

Fitting the ECU 

 
 

It is important that the ECU should be fitted in a dry and not too hot place.  
 

5.2

 

Connecting the communication cable 

 
Attached to the included wiring loom of your KMS Fuel/FA23 system is a serial port. You can use this 

communication for you desktop/laptop and make a connection with the KMS Fuel software.  
 

  
 

 

 

 

 

 

Warning: 

Make sure that you know what kind of injectors you have. Because 
of the fact that when you connect low impendance injectors, 

eventually the ECU will malfunction because of overheating. When 
using low impendance injectors, a high current will run threw the 
ECU which will break down some components. Injectors above 10 
Ohm are always right. If you have injectors below this impendance, 
please use an injector driver. (the ECU can handle up to 7A on the 
injector output, so you can make a calculation on the required 
current).
