3.2 Generic installation
Your ezCAN is a precision component and must be fitted with care and
attention. The installation sequence in this section is designed to make
installation easy, and to prevent fault codes being logged by any of the
motorcycle’s control units.
1. Switch the motorcycle’s ignition OFF.
2. Remove the negative terminal (–) from the motorcycle’s battery.
3. Remove the positive terminal (+) from the motorcycle’s battery.
4. Connect the ezCAN to the correct CAN-bus connections.
 On all liquid-cooled BMW R-series models from 2013
onward, connect the male ezCAN CAN-bus connector to
the tyre-pressure monitoring module or blanking plug, and
the corresponding module connector.
 On all other BMW models, connect the male ezCAN CAN-
bus connector to the anti-theft alarm module or blanking
plug, and the corresponding module connector.
IMPORTANT
The ezCAN has a physical 30 Amp inline fuse.
The combined maximum current limit for all four power
circuits must not exceed 30 Amps. The main fuse may blow
if the ezCAN draws more than this amount of current.
It is recommended that you keep the combined maximum
current limit under 25 Amps.
CAUTION
Follow the installation sequence in this section carefully,
and do not skip any steps.
IMPORTANT
If you are installing the ezCAN on a BMW that does not
have an anti-theft alarm (DWA) module fitted, the BMW will
have a DWA blanking plug containing a CAN-bus
terminating resistor.
After disconnecting the DWA blanking plug from the female
DWA wiring harness connector, it is extremely important
that you connect the blanking plug to the female ezCAN
wiring harness connector. This ensures that the terminating
resistor remains connected to the CAN-bus.
