3 A square calibration box will appear. The steering wheel will be recognized here as the X-
axis, moving the crosshair horizontally in the box. Click the box next to Display raw data.
Numbers will be displayed for the X-axis. Leaving the steering wheel centered, the raw
data number displayed should read between 510 - 530.
4 Move the wheel slowly left and right, and observe the numbers. The numbers should
ascend and descend in single values If the numbers halt, reverse, or skip this indicates a
faulty pot. If the numbers run smoothly, let the wheel return to center and make sure the
numerical value at center has remained consistent. Press a button to move on.
5 A horizontal box with a blue bar will appear. This is the first of three similar screens with
boxes. The first box will show calibration values for the gas pedal. The second the clutch
pedal and the third the brake. Ignore the percent % values shown in each bar and pay
attention only to the Raw Data numbers. Check to make sure the Raw Data values fall
within the following ranges. Verify each pedal in turn before moving to the next.
GAS raw data – 1013 at rest to 10 fully depressed
CLUTCH raw data – 1013 at rest to 10 fully depressed
BRAKE - PMBII raw data – 1013 at rest to +/-250 (varies w/ desired max pressure)
6 If one or more of your pedals has values outside of these ranges, you may need to re-set
the static pot position. If you noticed irregularities in the flow of numbers this might be
indicative of a worn pot. To re-set your pot position to fall within range or for instructions
on replacing a worn pot consult the ECCI pot service webpage mentioned in step 6.1.
6.3 CARING FOR YOUR ECCI SYSTEM
The exterior surfaces of ECCI systems are powder coated steel with vinyl overlay graphics
and for some units a Lexan steering unit cover.. Use a moderately wet cloth with plain hot
water for cleaning. For heavy cleaning only use a diluted mild dishwashing liquid such as
Dawn. DO NOT use dripping wet cloths or strong cleaning solvents, for damage to electronic
components and finishes may occur. NEVER use 409 or similar household cleaners. 409 will
quickly etch and ruin aluminum. Such damage is not covered under warranty.
7.0 SERVICE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT
If you are experiencing trouble, first make sure all of your connections are secure. This is the
most common source of faults. Also check the white pin connectors on the circuit board for
looseness. Sometimes installation and handling can cause a loose terminal.
