2. Product Overview and Features

The MAIMEIMI MA-FLC-821 Throttle Response Controller is an electronic device that intercepts and modifies the signal from your vehicle's accelerator pedal to the engine control unit (ECU).

The controller features multiple driving modes and fine-tuning levels to suit various driving preferences and conditions.

Key Features:

  • 9 Drive Modes: Offers nine distinct driving modes, each with nine adjustable intensity levels, allowing for precise customization of throttle response.
  • Clear Display & Easy Adjustment: Equipped with a three-digit LED display to show the current mode and intensity level. Three buttons facilitate easy mode selection and intensity adjustment.
  • Small & Portable Design: Compact size (approximately 5cm x 3cm x 0.58cm) for discreet installation and minimal intrusion into the vehicle's interior.
  • Plug-and-Play Installation: Designed for straightforward installation without cutting wires or complex modifications.
  • Memory Function: Retains the last selected driving mode and intensity level after the vehicle is turned off.

Safety Precaution:

All adjustments to the throttle controller must be made when the vehicle is safely parked and not in motion. Never attempt to adjust settings while driving.

6. Operating Instructions

The MAIMEIMI MA-FLC-821 features 9 distinct driving modes, each with 9 adjustable intensity levels (1-9). The display shows the mode (e.g., P1, P2, SSS, EC, NOR) and the intensity level (e.g., .8). The first two digits indicate the mode, and the last digit indicates the intensity.

Mode Selection:

  • Press the MODE button to cycle through the available driving modes.
  • The display will show the current mode (e.g., P1, P2, SSS, EC, NOR).

Intensity Adjustment:

  • Once a mode is selected, use the + button to increase the intensity level (1-9).
  • Use the - button to decrease the intensity level (1-9).
  • Higher intensity levels provide a more aggressive throttle response.

7. Maintenance

The MAIMEIMI MA-FLC-821 Throttle Response Controller is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. To ensure its longevity and optimal performance:

  • Keep the device clean and free from dust and moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
  • Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
  • Ensure all connections remain secure. Periodically check the wiring harness for any signs of wear or damage.
  • Do not attempt to open or modify the device, as this will void the warranty and may cause damage.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your MAIMEIMI MA-FLC-821 Throttle Response Controller, please refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

No Power/Display Off:

  • Check all connections to ensure they are securely plugged in.
  • Verify that the vehicle's ignition is on.
  • Ensure the connecting cable is not damaged.

No Change in Throttle Response:

  • Confirm that the device is powered on and displaying a mode other than 'NOR'.
  • Check the intensity level; increase it using the '+' button.
  • Reset Procedure: With the vehicle ignition ON (engine OFF), press and hold the MODE button until a specific code (e.g., '800') appears. Adjust to '800' if necessary. Fully depress and release the accelerator pedal. Then, press and hold the MODE button again until the main screen reappears. Start the vehicle.
  • Ensure your vehicle is compatible with the device (refer to Section 3).

Check Engine Light or Error Codes:

  • Immediately disconnect the throttle controller and reconnect the factory accelerator pedal harness.
  • Start the vehicle and check if the error codes persist. If they do, consult a qualified mechanic.
  • If the codes clear after removing the device, the controller may be incompatible with your specific vehicle's ECU or may be faulty. Contact customer support.

Intermittent Functionality:

  • Check for loose connections at both the pedal and the controller.
  • Ensure the wiring is not pinched or damaged.
  • Consider environmental factors like extreme heat or cold, though the device is designed to be robust.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact MAIMEIMI customer support for further assistance.
