BAROMETRIC PRESSURE SENSOR
![]()
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Route the cable
under the intake manifold and through the backing plate and cover plate slots
along with the other system wires.
2.
Depress the latches
and un-plug the J2 and J6 receptacles from the MCU card. Do not pull on the wires while removing the
receptacle, the wires can be damaged where they enter the receptacle. They are most easily unplugged together.
3.
Insert the wire
terminals in the receptacles, with the terminal ears to the top side of the
receptacle. The red wire goes in J6
receptacle position 3 (J6-3), the black wire goes in J2-4, and the green wire
goes in J2-12. The terminal positions
are embossed in very small print on the face of the receptacles and the
starting and ending positions (1, 8, 9, and 16 in the case of J2 or 1,4,5,8 for
J6) are printed on the MCU card. They
are also shown on the drawing below. Be
careful not to bend the terminal when inserting, as it can be weakened by being
bent and could result in a broken terminal later. Tug lightly on the wire to insure that the
terminal is fully inserted that the locking tabs are engaged. Long-nosed pliers are the proper tool for
terminal insertion.
4.
Plug the
receptacles back into the MCU card.
Insure that receptacles' latches are engaged.
5.
Cut the tiewrap below J6 and replace it, binding the new sensor
cable with the other cables. Also tiewrap the cable to the other system cables under the air
cleaner element. It is very important
that all system wires are tiewrapped together under
the air filter so that they will support each other against vibration.
6.
Tiewrap the cable as required along the rest of its length,
to provide a neat installation. The wire
is long enough to mount the sensor under the tank or to tiewrap
the sensor to the system's wiring and hoses between the cylinders. Do not
mount the sensor such that the air inlet barb is directly exposed to the wind
when at speed. This could lead to the
sensor functioning more as a speedometer than an altimeter.
The barometric pressure
sensor used is the Harley-Davidson MAP Sensor P/N 32424-95. This can be obtained from your local Harley
dealer.
After physically installing the sensor as described above,
it is necessary tell the ECS that it has been installed. This is done by accessing the Options
submenu, scrolling to the AIR PRES. SENSOR command and pressing the middle
button so that the display indicates INSTALLED.
The % number (e.g. 98%) that shows on the second line of the display
just before the word INSTALLED indicates the air pressure density relative to
sea level pressure. When the display
reads INSTALLED, the mixture is adjusted by this amount in order compensate for
changes in air density. Lightly blowing
or sucking on the air inlet barb will result in this number changing, which is
an easy way to test the sensor. Too much
pressure or vacuum will set an error flag indicating that the sensor is bad, in
which case the mixture will not be changed until the error is cleared, either
by cycling power to the system, or, in the case of a failed sensor, replacing
the sensor.
