Parts List Lingenfelter ECSS-001 Ethanol Content Sensor Simulator (PN: L460350085) # Description Part number 1 Lingenfelter Ethanol Content Sensor Simulator ECSS-001 1 Hook & loop tape 2 Self-tapping screw AV16037 1 LPE decal L920010000 1 Instructions Tools & Materials Required Phillips head screwdriver Wire crimping tool Heat Shrink Optional Items # Description Part number 1 LPE technician s screwdriver L950050000 1 E38/E67 ECM terminals 33468-0003 Description: ECSS-001 is a fuel composition signal generator that generates the same output signals as the OEM fuel composition sensor that is used in many vehicles. By enabling this input on engine control modules capable of reading this sensor, the ECSS-001 allows the user to change air-fuel ratio and modify ignition timing based on external activation inputs. This allows a nitrous system or other external system to change the Air Fuel Ratio (AFR) and/or ignition timing. The ECSS-001 works with GM Engine Control Modules (ECMs) and Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) that have operating system software capable of recognizing a fuel composition sensor signal. The ECSS-001 is currently able to simulate the ethanol content signals generated by the GM Siemens (PN: 12570260) and GM Continental (PN: 13577394) fuel composition sensors. The Lingenfelter ECSS-001 Ethanol Content Sensor Simulator is not designed to replace an existing Fuel Composition sensor in your vehicle. Note: If your ECM does not already have the Fuel Temperature/Composition Signal enabled, you can enable the Fuel Temperature/Composition Signal pin using vehicle calibration software such as EFILive Tune v7.5, HPTuners, Tuner Cat, or SCT (not included, check before purchasing). The ECSS-001 allows nitrous to be installed on engines where it may be difficult to achieve even fuel distribution with inlet mounted fuel solenoids, or where it is not recommended to have fuel (i.e. pre supercharger). This simplifies nitrous installation and reduces installation cost by eliminating the need to provide additional fuel via an ad-on system. The ECSS-001 also allows the user to easily make adjustments to fueling and/or timing based on almost any switched input so it can be used for a high or low octane switch, race gas switch, etc. The ECSS-001 can also be used to: Change timing/fuel when running a higher boost setting in turbo applications Reduce timing and/or change AFR when alcohol or water injector fluid is low (activated by a level switch) The ECSS-001 can connect to an existing fuel composition sensor signal to monitor the ethanol percentage. The ECSS- 001 can output a switched signal based on the ethanol percentage. The ECSS-001 accepts the ethanol content signal generated by the GM Siemens and GM Continental fuel composition sensors. This can be used to provide a warning alert or other switched output when fuel composition goes above or below a user specified percentage. Page 2

Settings inside the rear cover of the ECSS-001: Five two position DIP switches (The location of the switches is shown in the figure below). DIP switch #1 is not used. DIP switch #2 selects the desired polarity of the output signal. For GM vehicles, use the positive (downward) position. Duty Cycle Polarity DIP Switch #2 Positive Negative DIP switch #3 is not used. DIP switch #4 and #5 select the Override Input Activation polarity. Activation Polarity +12V Activation Ground Activation Input DIP Switch #4 #5 Output Override Input Ethanol Activation Present Content % LED NO Ethanol 1 GREEN YES Ethanol 2 RED NO Ethanol 2 RED YES Ethanol 1 GREEN NO Ethanol 2 RED YES Ethanol 1 GREEN NO Ethanol 1 GREEN YES Ethanol 2 RED LED operation: Solid GREEN when powered up, all settings are properly configured, and Ethanol 1 is active. Solid RED when all settings are properly configured and Ethanol 2 is active. Blinking RED indicates Ethanol Content 1 is greater than Ethanol Content 2. Page 5

Installation: 1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal. 2. Connect the black wire of the ECSS-001 to a suitable vehicle ground. Failure to fully secure the ground wire to a vehicle ground source could result in malfunction of the module. 3. Connect the red wire to a switched and fused +12V DC source. The +12V source that the red wire is connected to should be powered anytime the ECM is powered. A 5-10 amps fuse should be sufficient. 4. The PWM outputs are rated for up to only 0.75 amp, so a solid state relay should be used if any of the ECSS-001 outputs will be controlling a device that pulls more than 0.75 amp. If connecting to an ECM, you will not need a relay. 5. Connect the white wire to the activation source. 6. Find the Fuel Temperature/Composition Signal wire on the ECM. If the ECM has a pull-up resistor enabled on this wire, connect the yellow wire from the ECSS-001 to the wire from the ECM. To check to see if your ECM has a pull-up resistor on this wire, turn the ignition on but do not start the vehicle. Use a multimeter/voltmeter to measure the voltage on the Fuel Temperature/Composition Signal pin. If the voltage is near zero use the orange wire from the ECSS-001. Otherwise, use the yellow wire. For GM ECMs, use the yellow wire from the ECM. If the ECM does not have a pull-up resistor enabled on this wire, connect the orange wire from the ECSS-001 to the wire from the ECM. 7. Secure the ECSS-001 using the supplied hook and loop tape or using the supplied self-tapping screws. 8. Adjust the dials on the front of the ECSS-001 to desired settings. There are two examples shown on page 7. 9. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.

Ethanol Content Switch Mode In Ethanol Content Switch Mode, the outputs are switched based on ethanol content. This mode can be used to provide a warning alert or other switched output when fuel composition goes above or below a user specified percentage. There are two Ethanol Content switch modes, Mode 1 and Mode 2. Both of the modes, Mode 1 and Mode 2, are opposites of each other (outputs are switched).

Installation: 1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal. 2. Connect the black wire of ECSS-001 to a suitable vehicle ground. Failure to fully secure the ground wire to a vehicle ground source could result in malfunction of the module. 3. Connect the red wire to a switched and fused +12 volt DC source. The +12V source that the red wire is connected to should be powered anytime the ECM is powered. A 5-10 amps fuse should be sufficient. 4. The switched outputs are rated 0.75 amp, so a relay should be used if any of the ECSS-001 outputs will be controlling a device that pulls more than 0.75 amp. 5. Connect the white wire to the vehicle s Fuel Temperature/Composition Signal. 6. Set the DIP switches to the correct settings. 7. Secure the ECSS-001 by using the supplied hook and loop tape or by using the supplied self-tapping screws. 8. Adjust the dials on the front of the ECSS-001 to desired settings. There are examples shown on pages 9-10. 9. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Mode 1 Set the 16 position switch to position 1 Example 1: Ethanol Content Switch Mode, standard configuration Ethanol Content 1 (%) = 0 [Ethanol 1 x1 = 0, Ethanol Content 1 x10 = 0] Ethanol Content 2 (%) = 80 [Ethanol 2 x1 = 0, Ethanol Content 2 x10 = 8] Output (Wire Color) Output state below Ethanol Content 2 Output state above Ethanol Content 2 PWM Out, +12V (Orange) ON (+12V) OFF (OPEN) PWM Out, +12V (Yellow) OFF (OPEN) ON (GND) ECSS-001 LED status Solid GREEN* Blinking GREEN *NOTE: On initial power up, the LED will be solid RED. The LED will switch to solid green when a valid Ethanol Content Signal is present. Example 2: Ethanol Content Window Switch Mode, standard configuration Ethanol Content 1 (%) = 20 [Ethanol 1 x1 = 0, Ethanol Content 1 x10 = 2] Ethanol Content 2 (%) = 80 [Ethanol 2 x1 = 0, Ethanol Content 2 x10 = 8] Output (Wire Color) Output state below Ethanol Content 1 Output state between Ethanol Content 1 & Ethanol Content 2 Output state above Ethanol Content 2 PWM Out, +12V (Orange) OFF (OPEN) ON (+12V) OFF (OPEN) PWM Out, +12V (Yellow) ON (GND) OFF (OPEN) ON (GND) ECSS-001 LED status Solid GREEN* Blinking GREEN Solid GREEN *NOTE: On initial power up, the LED will be solid RED.

The LED will switch to solid green when a valid Ethanol Content Signal is present. Page 10

Additional Notes and Warnings: Changes to the switch settings must be done with the ECSS-001 powered off. The switch positions are only read on start up (initial device power up). The Ethanol Content 1 setting must be less than the Ethanol Content 2 setting. Make sure that the ECSS-001 ground wire is secured to a vehicle ground. Failure to fully secure the ECSS-001 ground wire to a vehicle ground source could cause the ECSS-001 to malfunction. Do NOT submerge the module in liquid or directly wash the unit with liquid of any type. The switches on the ECSS- 001 are sealed but are NOT rated for high pressure washing, use caution if power washing near the ECSS-001 module. Do NOT mount the ECSS-001 directly on top of the engine or near the exhaust manifolds due to heat concerns. Do NOT mount the ECSS-001 in the line of site of high temperature objects such as exhaust manifolds, turbine housings, etc. If needed, install a heat shield in between the heat source and the module to protect the plastic case. Do NOT install within 6 of nitrous solenoids or other devices with strong magnetic fields. Do NOT install near the spark plugs or the spark plug wires (or other potential strong sources of electrical noise). LPE recommends the use of resistor type spark plugs and RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) suppression spark plug wires on all EFI engines and any vehicle that has electronic control modules on board (including the ECSS-001). Failure to do so may result in erratic operation of electronic devices. Not meant to replace an existing ethanol content sensor. Page 11

Appendix A: Enabling ECM Fuel Composition Input Signal On some vehicles the Fuel Composition input signal is not enabled in the ECM. In most cases, however, the vehicle s ECM has an unpopulated pin that can be used to communicate the Fuel Composition input signal from the ECSS-001 to the ECM. The following sections explain how to connect a wire to the correct pin on the ECM, as well as how to enable the ECM Fuel Composition input signal using EFILive Tune v7.5. Populating the Fuel Composition signal wire on the ECM (GM E38, E67, E92 ECM s) 1. Determine the correct ECM pin location for the Fuel Composition signal input signal location. A list of Fuel Composition signal input signal pin locations for some GM vehicles has been provided in Table D (Page 13). 2. Disconnect the ECM connector that houses the Fuel Composition input signal terminal. Use a small flat head screwdriver to open the wire enclosure on the back side of the connector. this exposes the wires as they come out of the connector. 3. If there is a terminal cover on the front side of the connector, use a small flat head screwdriver to remove it by prying up on each end. You should now see the terminals of each wire, along with colored terminal plugs in pin locations that are not currently populated. 4. Locate the ECM s Fuel Composition input signal pin location on the connector. Remove the colored terminal plug from the connector with a small screwdriver. 5. Crimp a terminal (PN: 33468-0003 -- for E38/E67/E92 ECM s) to a piece of wire (long enough to reach from the ECM to the ECSS-001), which will become your Fuel Composition input signal wire. The terminal will lock into the connector when oriented correctly, so make sure that you have the terminal correctly oriented before attempting to insert the terminal into the connector. 6. Insert the terminal into the correct pin location from the back side of the connector. You should here an audible click, which tells you that the terminal is inserted in the correct orientation and has locked into place. 7. Reinstall the terminal cover, close the connector wire enclosure, and reinstall the connector onto the ECM. 8. This wire can now be connected to the PWM Out, Ground terminal on the ECSS-001. Page 12

Enabling the ECM s Fuel Composition Input Signal through EFILive Tune v7.5 1. In the Navigation window, under the Calibrations tab on the left side of the screen, navigate to the Flex Fuel Parameters ( Engine Operation Fuel Flex Fuel ), to reach the Flex Fuel signal related calibration parameters. 2. Double-click on Parameters to bring up the window shown in the illustration above. This calibration is currently set to Flex Fuel Option No. Set the Flex Fuel Option to Yes. Yes indicates the vehicle is capable of running on Ethanol/gas blended fuel. Set Flex Fuel Sensor Type to Actual Sensor. Page 14

3. In the Navigation window, under the Calibrations tab on the left side of the screen, navigate to the Flex Fuel Parameters ( Engine Operation Fuel General ), to reach the General Fuel related calibration parameters. Double-click on Parameters to bring up the window shown in the illustration below. The values on the ECSS correspond to the values shown as shown below. Adjust the values in the table to the stoichiometric AFR of the fuel you are using. If you do not want the ECSS to change the value of the Flex Fuel, then leave the values constant. Values that correspond to the dials on the front of the ECSS-001 4. In the Navigation window, under the Calibrations tab on the left side of the screen, navigate to the Flex Fuel Parameters ( Engine Operation Fuel Power Enrichment ), to reach the Power Enrichment Fuel related calibration parameters. Adjust the P.E. Mode Commanded Fuel and P.E. E80 Mode Commanded Fuel tables to the desired values. Page 15

5. In the Navigation window, under the Calibrations tab on the left side of the screen, navigate to the Flex Fuel Parameters ( Engine Operation Spark General ), to reach the General Spark related calibration parameters. Adjust the Flex Fuel (Ethanol) Spark, Flex Fuel (Ethanol) Mixture Spark, and Flex Fuel (Ethanol) Spark Multiplier tables to the desired values. An example Flex Fuel (Ethanol) Spark table is shown below. 6. NOTE: When adjusting the values from the tables in steps 3, 4, and 5, we suggest making all of the values within each table equal to each other for initial testing. When activating the Activation input on the ECSS-001, spark, HP, and commanded fuel should not change when viewing the data using the EFILive scan tool. If the values do change, there may be a table that was not adjusted. 7. Save the calibration and then flash the new calibration to the vehicle. NOTE: Similar changes will be required if using HPTuners or any other programming system. Page 16
