2. Installation Procedures
2.1 Safety Precautions
This electronic throttle product has been designed and manufactured to meet
the intended application requirements and specications. Any modications
to the product or to the installation procedure can be dangerous and will void
InPower’s warranty.
• Read and understand the instructions in this manual and other manuals
before starting the installation.
• Make sure that the vehicle battery power is disconnected during installation
of the throttle module.
• Reconnect the battery when the system installation is complete.
• Wear appropriate safety equipment, such as protective eyeglasses, face
shield and clothing when installing equipment and handling the battery.
• Be careful when working near a battery. Make sure that the area is well
ventilated and that there are no ames near the battery. Never lay objects
on the battery that can short the terminals together. If battery acid gets in
your eyes, immediately seek rst aid. If acid gets on your skin, immediately
wash it off with soap and water.
2.2 Getting Started
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please obtain the specic SEIC installation instructions
for your vehicle make and model from Ford. Wire colors and locations may
vary from model to model and even between different years for the same
model. The guide may be obtained from Ford’s Body Builder Advisory Service.
We recommend installing the DBT-MD system under the dash due to the
proximity of the wiring connections and cable length. The unit should not be
located in the engine compartment or any other location that is not protected.
You will need tools to splice wires together. For each xed preset mode, you
will need a high idle On/Off switch. For Variable RPM control, you will need a
potentiometer. We recommend a 10 Kohm 3, 5, or 10-turn potentiometer such
as those available from Digikey. If using PWM for Variable RPM control, refer
to PWM instructions.
Do not lengthen the cable from the module to the OBD-II connector.
Disconnect the battery before making any electrical connections.
