Z-WAGZ ZZ-2 Plug and Play OBD2 Controlled OE Light Flash Module
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Plug & Play, OBD2-Controlled, OE Light Flash Module
Thank you for purchasing a genuine Z-WAGZ unit, the simplest OBD2-module for flashing OEM lights with a press of a button. This unit comes pre-programmed with 8 different light patterns, some for halogen systems & some for LED systems – see below for full operation information including on-board LED status.
Operation:
1. Connect the Z-WAGZ unit to the OBD2 port.
2. Turn Ignition ON (Ignition must be on for proper operation). Leave vehicle
in Park.
3. To activate Z-WAGZ:
- Press and HOLD the high beam lever (5 sec) OR
- Press and HOLD the provided push button (3 sec) OR
- Send a 12v (+) signal to the blue wire (designed to be extended for OE up-fitter switches)
- Pattern 1 will begin to flash. Once pattern 1 begins, the hazards in the gauge cluster will blink 1 time, indicating Pattern 1 has been selected and the LED on the unit will blink BLUE. See chart for remaining pattern color indication.
4. To switch to Pattern 2: (Pattern 1 must be currently active)
- Engage either turn signal, then press and HOLD the high beam lever once more (5 sec). OR
- Press & release the provided push button
The hazards will blink twice indicating Pattern 2 has been selected. Repeat this process to switch to the next pattern.
5. To deactivate Z-WAGZ:
- Press and HOLD the high beam lever OR
- Press and HOLD the provided push button OR
- Release 12v (+) signal to the blue wire (if connected this way)
NOTES:
- Vehicles equipped with LED lights should use LED patterns (1-4). Vehicles equipped with standard bulbs should use bulb patterns (5-8)
- Drive Mode (anything outside of PARK gear) will emit its own, separate pattern from whatever pattern is currently selected. This is a limitation of the vehicle and how light data is handled when not in PARK gear.
- Not all lights on the vehicle are necessarily used, some lights are not controllable via OBD CAN data.
- Z-WAGZ will retain the last used pattern, even after being disconnected from the OBD2 port.
- When in Drive Mode, turn signals, headlights & reverse lights will override pattern flashing, until turned off again.
- For FORD (only), pattern 4 is an ‘Alternative Mode’ pattern. Some vehicles do not respond to typical data, therefore this pattern method was created.
