Refer
to Figure A for Step 1
Step 1: Before installing your aFe POWER module, you will have to place your vehicle’s ECU in sleep mode. In order to do this, you will need to do the following:
- If the engine is cold: open the hood, close the doors, lock the car and wait 30 seconds.
- If the engine is warm: open the hood, close the doors, lock the car and wait 20 minutes.
- If the engine is warm and you can’t wait 20 minutes: disconnect the battery.
Note: Do NOT open doors or start vehicle while one of the sensors is
disconnected. This could create a check engine light 
Refer to Figure B for Step 2
Step 2: Refer to the diagram to identify the connectors and their
corresponding sensors that they plug into.
- The MAP sensor jumper harness will be the shorter set of wires.
- The Fuel Pressure sensor jumper harness will be the longer set of wires.
Refer to Figure C for Steps 3-5
Step 3: Using an 8mm socket and ratchet, remove the four bolts that hold down
the engine cover.
Step 4: Remove the engine oil dipstick and lift up the on the engine cover to
remove it from the engine bay.
Step 5: Re-install the oil dipstick at this time in order to prevent any
debris from falling into the dipstick tube. 
Refer to Figure D for Step 6
Step 6: Locate the Fuel Pressure Sensor and the Manifold Absolute Pressure
Sensor within the picture.
- The Fuel Pressure sensor is located in the middle of the engine bay at the center of the common fuel rail.
- The MAP sensor is located on the back of the intake manifold.
Refer to Figure E for Step 7
Step 7: Disconnect the Fuel Pressure sensor by lifting up on the yellow
locking tab and pressing down on the connector while sliding it out of the
sensor.
Refer to Figure F for Steps 8-10
Step 8: Locate the Fuel Pressure sensor jumper harness on the aFe POWER
harness. It is the second, longer set of connectors coming out of the aFe
POWER module. It is labeled “FUEL”.
Step 9: Plug the female connector of the aFe POWER harness to the Fuel
Pressure sensor, then take the male connector of the aFe POWER harness and
connect it to the female connector of the engine harness.
Step 10: Check with the picture to make sure the connectors are fully seated
and that the locking tab is slid back into place.
Make sure that the connections are fully engaged and not reversed. Usually,
connectors make a snapping sound when fully engaged. 
Refer to Figure G for Steps
11-12
Step 11: Locate the MAP sensor on back of the intake manifold.
Step 12: Disconnect the MAP sensor by pressing down on the connector and
sliding it out of the sensor.
Refer to Figure H for Steps 13-15
Step 13: Locate the MAP sensor jumper harness on the aFe POWER harness. It is
the shorter, first set of connectors coming out of the aFe POWER module. It is
labeled “MAP”.
Step 14: Plug the female connector of the aFe POWER harness to the MAP sensor,
then take the male connector of the aFe POWER harness and connect it to the
female connector of the engine harness. Step 15: Check with the picture to
make sure the connectors are fully seated and that the locking tab is slid
back into place.
Make sure that the connections are fully engaged and not reversed. Usually,
connectors make a snapping sound when fully engaged.
Refer to Figure I for Steps 16-21
Step 16: Remove the engine oil dipstick in order to re-install the engine
cover.
Step 17: Re-install the engine cover and tighten the four 8mm bolts.
Step 18: Reinstall the engine oil dipstick.
Step 19: Select a location to mount the Scorcher HD. We recommend that the
module be mounted in a
place that is dry, away from extreme heat and moving parts.
Step 20: For our installation, we found the best location to be on top of the
fuse box on the driver side of the engine bay.
Step 21: Route the harness wires and secure them using the included zip ties
for a neat installation.
The doors can now be opened to install the LED Switch.
Refer to Figure J for Steps 22-24
Step 22: Select the desired location for the LED switch. Route the cable on
the back of the switch to exit towards the top or the bottom of the switch.
Step 23: Use the provided double sided tape to secure the LED switch in the
desired location.
Step 24: Carefully route the switch cable behind the steering wheel cover or
cabin trim cover. For the cleanest install, partially remove the cabin trim
cover and run the LED swith wire between the trim panels. 
Refer to Figure K for Steps 25-26
Step 25: Locate the engine bay wiring access slot below the driver side kick
panel.
Step 26: Route the switch cable through the firewall and into the engine bay
using this slot. 
Refer to Figure L for Steps 27-28
Step 27: Plug the end of the LED switch cable to the aFe POWER harness inside
the engine compartment.
Step 28: Secure all wires away from any extreme heat and moving parts with the
provided zip ties. Make sure all connections are secured and fully engaged.
The installation of the module itself is now complete. Keep reading the
installation instructions to learn how to use all of its features.
Refer to Figure M (LED Switch)
When turning on the vehicle, each LED will flash, and it will stop at its last
setting. The LED on the switch represents the different levels of power.
- Green LED: Stock
- Yellow LED: Sport
- Orange LED: Sport+
- Red LED: Race
Use the grey button to select the desired setting. Power adjustments can be
done at any time while the unit is on.
