 Stop the engine of the vehicle and Disconnect the cable terminal from the negative terminal of the battery.
 Install the Power Editor main unit in an arbitrary place.   Avoid the following places. - Places where the temperature becomes high like the engine body. - Places where direct water is applied.   Confirm that the connection harness reaches the pressure sensor.   When using double sided tape, clean the surface to be pasted, paste it, and use
tie wraps together.  When pasting with double-sided tape only, it is dangerous when it peels off due
to aged deterioration.  Connect the Power Editor main unit and Connector for main unit.

the connection harness of Power Editor.   Shorter harness is channel 1, longer one is channel 2.   Since the boost-up data of channel 1 and channel 2 are the same at factory
