Trouble

Possible Causes

Possible Solutions

Does not work with Engine start.

Poor connection of meter cable, OBD connector or fuse.

If wiring has been direct to power the red wire may have 
been improperly wired or there is a poor connection.

The unit has been installed into an incompatible car model.

The unit has been installed into an incompatible car model.

Please check the “Fitting List”.

Please check the “Fitting List”.

The displayed values are different from the standard meter.

The opening demo works fine, but after that nothing happens.

Due to the ECU information received, the displayed values on this product may differ from those of stan-
dard or other meters.

This product’s boost meter reads absolute pressure and may differ from a meter using relative pressure.

Please reconfirm whether wiring and 
connections are correct or not.

Poor connection of 2-pin connector.

The boost pressure display is different from the standard or 
other meter.

The sensor for absolute pressure is subtracting for barometric pressure and hence the display shows 
minus. (EX: Elevation of 700 meters = minus 8 kPa)

With the key in the ON position the boost needles points to a 
minus reading.

This is due to a special characteristic of the meter and is not a malfunction.

Before the opening demo starts the needle briefly moves.

I can’t change the display.

Because after changing modes, if the car’s engine is turned off within 3 seconds, the new setting will not 
be stored, make sure to wait at least 3 seconds before turning the engine off.

Upon star ting up, the unit will star t in the newly 
changed mode.

Please reconfirm whether wiring and 
connections are correct or not.
