- Turn the ignition off.
- Leave the driver’s door open and wait 10-15 minutes. This will allow the ECU to shut down completely.
- Keep your keyfob at least 35 feet away from the vehicle. Some vehicles have a proximity sensor that gets triggered if the keyfob is close by. Keeping it away from the vehicle prevents the ECU from waking back up.
- If the above process fails, you can disconnect the battery to ensure the system shuts off entirely.
- Note: Allowing the system to shut off completely is important to avoid triggering the Check Engine Light.
- Locate the throttle pedal connector in your vehicle. Some connectors are at the top of the assembly, facing the dashboard, and some face the driver.
- There are several types of connectors, and some of them may have locking tabs. You can use a pick tool or a small flathead screwdriver to slide out the factory connector.
- Connect the female connector of the Pedal Commander harness to the male plug at the throttle pedal side.
- Connect the male connector of the Pedal Commander harness to the female socket of the pedal assembly.
- Ensure you hear the “click” sound each time for a secure connection.
- Reinstall the locking tabs if your throttle pedal connectors have them.
- Route the cables and secure them to prevent tangling. Securing the cables is crucial for driving safety.
- Clean the area where you want to place the Pedal Commander control unit with the supplied alcohol wipe.
- Mount the Pedal Commander bracket with supplied Velcro.
- Mount the Pedal Commander controller unit.
- Reconnect the battery if you disconnected it in Step One.
- Enjoy a whole new driving experience!
