aFe POWER SCORCHER HD Power Module Installation Manual

Step 1: Prepare Vehicle ECU for Sleep Mode

Place your vehicle's ECU in sleep mode. Follow these steps:

• If the engine is cold: Open the hood, close the doors, lock the car, and wait 30 seconds.
• If the engine is warm: Open the hood, close the doors, lock the car, and wait 20 minutes.
• If the engine is warm and you cannot wait 20 minutes: Disconnect the vehicle battery.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Do not open vehicle doors while sensors are disconnected or before connecting the SCORCHER BLUE MODULE. Doing so will trigger a Check Engine Light.

Step 2: Locate MAP Sensor

The MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor is located on the firewall side of the intake manifold. Its connector is gray.

Step 3: Locate Injector Plug Connectors

Identify the two injector plug connectors situated next to the engine valve covers. These connectors are typically long and light blue.

Step 4: Disconnect MAP Sensor

Press down on the locking tab of the MAP sensor connector and slide the connector out of the sensor.

Step 5: Connect MAP Sensor Jumper Harness

Locate the longer jumper harness on the aFe POWER harness, which has gray connectors. Connect the female connector of the aFe POWER harness to the MAP sensor. Then, connect the male connector of the aFe POWER harness to the engine harness's female connector.

Step 6: Verify MAP Sensor Harness Connection

Refer to the provided image (Figure D) to ensure both the male and female sides of the aFe POWER harness are fully plugged in.

Step 7: Disconnect Front Fuel Rail Connector

Locate the front fuel rail connector. Use a small flat head screwdriver to press and hold down the locking tab, then carefully wiggle the blue connector up and away from the black connector.

Step 8: Connect Front Injector Plug Jumper Harness

Locate the front injector plug jumper harness on the aFe POWER harness, labeled "Fan". Plug the female connector of this module into the stock injector plug connector. Then, connect the male connector of the module to the engine harness's female connector.

Step 9: Verify Front Injector Plug Harness Connection

Refer to the provided image (Figure F) to confirm that the connectors are fully engaged. A snapping sound usually indicates a secure connection.

Step 10: Disconnect Rear Fuel Rail Connector

Locate and disconnect the rear fuel rail connector. Foam insulation may need to be removed for easier access. The disconnection process is similar to the front fuel rail connector.

Step 11: Connect Rear Injector Plug Jumper Harness

Locate the rear injector plug jumper harness on the aFe POWER module, labeled "Fly Wheel". Plug the female connector of the module into the stock injector plug connector. Then, connect the male connector of the module to the engine harness's female connector.

Step 12: Verify Rear Injector Plug Harness Connection

Refer to the provided image (Figure G) to ensure the connectors are fully engaged. A snapping sound usually indicates a secure connection.

Step 13: Connect Ground Terminal to Battery

Connect the black ground terminal cable from the aFe POWER module to the negative battery post. Remove the 13mm nut, install the terminal, and then reinstall the nut.

Step 14: Connect Power Terminal to Battery

Connect the red power terminal cable from the aFe POWER module to the positive battery post. Remove the 10mm nut, place the terminal, and reinstall the nut.

Note: The vehicle doors can now be opened to proceed with the LED switch installation.

Step 15: Select LED Switch Location

Choose a suitable location for the LED switch inside the vehicle cabin.

Step 16: Secure LED Switch

Use the provided double-sided tape to securely attach the LED switch to the chosen location.

Step 17: Route Switch Cable

Carefully route the switch cable behind the steering wheel cover or cabin trim cover.

Step 18: Route Cable Through Firewall

Route the switch cable through the firewall and into the engine bay. Follow the main harness through the grommet into the firewall.

Step 19: Connect LED Switch Wire

Connect the LED switch wire to the aFe Power harness.

Step 20: Secure SCORCHER HD Module

Secure the Scorcher HD module on top of the fuse box near the battery, or in another desired location, using the provided Velcro. Use the included zip ties to secure wires away from extreme heat and moving parts.

NOTE: Place the enclosed CARB EO sticker on or near the device on a smooth, clean surface. This EO identification label is required to pass smog test inspections.

The installation of the module is now complete. Continue reading to learn how to use all of its features.
