Walk Through for Installing Installing 240sx Daughterboard
The video provided will explain everything in a more in depth detail but here is a quick walk through. 1)First remove both front and back covers of your ecu. 2)Find the 2×20 mount located next the the red LED light. 3)De-solder the mounting spot. 4)Press on the 2×20 pin board with the short pins going into the board, taller pins sticking out. 5)Turn board over and solder each pin, careful to not have 2 pins solder touching. 6) while the board is upside down, look or the marking CJ1. It is on the underside just behind the red LED. 7)De-solder the little jumper from cj1 and drop it down or make a new jumper and solder is in the same direction just below cs1 so it will be on cs2. 8) once the 2×20 pin board and the jumper has been done, you may now install the daughter board.
You are now finished!
