Introduction
Autronic is designed to enable users to precisely control ignition timing and fuel-air mixture.
Precise ignition and mixture control also leads to excellent drivability and fuel economy -
something that is often lacking in high-performance carburettor engines.
2) Read any additional material accompanying this manual that updates the document since it
was written.
3) You may need special parts or additional tools or test equipment in order to complete
installation. Make sure you have these items on hand before you begin to avoid frustration.
Contact your Autronic dealer if you have difficulty.
4) Do not take any shortcuts. Mistakes in the early stages of installation can cause you major
headaches later on, be it in a few days or a few months time. Mistakes or shortcuts will cost you
money and frustration in finding and fixing unnecessary problems. You have the opportunity to
make your Autronic´s ECU operation extremely dependable and easy to use by doing it right the
first time.
Always disconnect the Battery cables when doing electrical work on your vehicle.
All fuel system components and wiring should be mounted away from heat
sources, shielded if necessary, and well vented.
Make sure there are no leaks in the fuel system and that all connections are
secure.
Disconnect the Autronic ECU from the electrical system whenever doing any arc
welding on the vehicle by unplugging the wiring harness connector from the ECU.

The options available under menu “Edit-Window” will change depending on which table or
window is displayed. Always check this menu for possible options. Some of the hot keys on the
previous page will only be available when certain tables or windows are displayed.
Example:- The setup options for Autotune are only visible in the Edit-Window menu when the
Base Fuel Delivery table is displayed.
The drop down menus can be selected by pressing the ESC key or by pressing Alt + the
underscored letter of the menu item. e.g:- Alt + 1 will open the M1 menu.
Real time display of engine parameters are displayed below open tables. The items displayed
can be selected from the “PC Limits/Log setup” under the “Logger” menu.
The User ID/Error bar will turn red and display any error or engine parameters outside the limits
set in the “PC Limits/Log setup” under the “Logger” menu. These limits can be set so you do not
have to monitor engine parameters while tuning for example, as the Software will do this for
you.

Mode Flags.
Autronic ECU use mode flags to select functions not selectable from the software menus.
In this example we will set mode flag 1. Setting mode flag 1 can be done in the software by
selecting from items in the menus and it is not necessary to do the settings via the mode flags
but for this example we will do it this way.
Using mode flag 1 information below we can find the value required is 49.
Ignition Coils 1 1
Ignition Amplifier MSD 32
Cylinder Reference signal Falling signal 16
Cylinder Pulse signal Rising signal 0
Mode Flag 1 = 49

Software Tables.
The base Fuel and Ignition tables and most other tables have user selectable X and Y axis
sites. See the “Edit” keys section for keys to insert, delete and edit an axis value.
The load axis when throttle mapping an engine relates to the throttle position. e.g:- Load axis
30 = 30% throttle position. When pressure mapping the Load sites relate to manifold pressure
in Kpa absolute.
Example:-
Load axis of 100 = 0 kpa gauge pressure.
Load axis of 50 = -50 kpa gauge pressure.
Load axis of 200 = 100 kpa gauge pressure.
By setting up the table as below the engine idle rpm will drop only slightly when AC or auto
transmission is put into drive. In this example the idle speed of the engine is 850 RPM.
RPM
750 800 1500 2000 3000
30 10 10 25 35
When a load is placed on the engine and the RPM drops below 800 RPM the ignition timing
advances, this can help prevent the engine RPM dropping as the engine produces more
power with the extra advance. In some cases 0 deg is required at the 800 and 1500 rpm sites
on engines with AC and automatic transmissions.
The PWM frequency and Y axis can be defined in the “PWM & on/off setup” under menu
M4.
On/Off table.
This table can control any device requiring on or off operation. 0 = Off and 1 = On.
The on/off Y axis can be defined in the “PWM & on/off setup” under menu
M4.

This will guide you setup the software for most applications. This is will setup the software to get
the engine running.
The Software has many options that can be set. For 95% of applications most of these will not
need changing from the defaults. The warmup/cold start setting and acceleration table values
should not need to be modified, if the main fuel and ignition tables have been completely tuned.
If the acceleration enrichment table is modified before the main fuel table is fully tuned this can
lead to confusing engine tune problems.
Connect the PC Data Cable to the PC and ECU. Turn on the ignition switch.
Select the windows “Start” button and then select “Run”, type ECUCAL and click the “OK”
button.

Engine Setup.
Options are,
Manifold pressure.
Throttle position.
Thr/Manifold (See Advanced software setup).
Engines with one throttle butterfly for every intake port and not turbocharged, select Throttle
position. When throttle mapping the map sensor hose is not connected and is vented to
atmosphere.
Engines with one throttle butterfly for every intake port and turbocharged, select
Thr/Manifold position. (See Advanced software setup for information on this).
All other engines select Manifold pressure. Map sensor hose is connected to the intake
manifold after the throttle body.
3. Set Cylinders.
The number of cylinders. On some V engines with odd fire, this value is set the virtual
number of cylinders. Eaxmple:- Harley Davidson motocycle is a V16 engine with 14
cylinders missing. See “Odd Fire Engines Setup”.
4. Set number of ignition coils. e.g:- A six cylinder engine with three double ended coil you
set the coils to 3.
Bosch or Siemens hall effect sensors, optical sensors or if using a reluctor interface
produce +ve (rising signal) as metal trigger the sensor and –ve (falling signal) as
metal leaves the sensor.
Honeywell gear tooth sensors produce a –ve (falling signal) as metal enters the
sensor and a +ve (rising signal) as metal leaves the sensor.

Bosch or Siemens hall effect sensors, optical sensors or if using a reluctor interface
produce +ve (rising signal) as metal trigger the sensor and –ve (falling signal) as
metal leaves the sensor.
Honeywell gear tooth sensors produce a –ve (falling signal) as metal enters the
sensor and a +ve (rising signal) as metal leaves the sensor.
For information on using +ve AND –ve edge ask a Autronic dealer about this feature.
Injector selection.
Select from M1, Engine Setup.
If the injector you are using is in the list then select this. Most injectors with around 16 ohms
resistance select “Bosch L late EG 901”
Injectors sent to Autronic for testing or those that have been tested previously can be
defined in the USER DEFINE Sel. Ask a Autronic dealer to see if these parameters are
available for your injectors.
Setup the fuel tables using the information below. See Keyboard Keys for information on
inserting, deleting, editing Load and RPM sites.
Generally RPM sites every 500 RPM are all that is required in most cases.
Engines using throttle position for mapping should have the load sites setup as per
the sample with a lot of small throttle position sites.
ii. Engine is to be setup using manifold absolute pressure as the primary load input.
Engines using manifold pressure for mapping should have the load sites setup as
per the sample. Engines not turbocharged or supercharged will not require load
sites greater then 100.
This preliminary selection will generally result in a safe RICH fuel calibration, but extreme
caution should be exercised until the fuel delivery has been fully matched to the engines exact
requirements.
A turbocharged big block Chev with 7.5:1 compression ratio, 1bar boost and 100
octane fuel would be happy with 34 degrees timing at the engines maximum torque rpm.
While Mitsubishi EVO5 with 9.3:1 compression ratio, 1bar boost and 96 octane
fuel would require only 8 degrees timing at the engines maximum torque rpm.
These examples are based on air fuel ratios of 10.8 to 11.2 at 1bar boost.

Wiring Notes.
The wiring diagrams should be followed 100%. Do not make changes that you believe will not
effect the operation of the SM2. This is one of the major causes of the engine not starting,
misfiring or SM2 diagnostic errors.
The “System Ground” (earth) shown on the wiring diagram is on the engine block or cylinder
head. Do not use the body of the car as a ground.
The injector output sequence has to be matched to your engine firing order.
The ignition output sequence if using more than one ignition coil must also be wired in the
correct sequence. See the “Ignition Output Sequence” in the hardware section of this manual.
If using a reluctor interface to convert inductive signals to hall effect type signals, then the
reluctor interface should be mounted close to the distributor or trigger sensors. The shielded
wires should directly connect to the distributor or trigger sensors, Do not use unshielded wire to
lengthen these wires.
17
Autronic SM2 Manual ver 1.7
Main wiring diagram
18
Autronic SM2 Manual ver 1.7
When using inductive sensors a reluctor interface is required. This is an option and is not
included with the ECU’s. This interface will make a square wave from the small spike generated
form the inductive sensor.
For proper function, the positive and negative wire from the sensor must be wired correctly to
the interface. If they are not marked use an oscilloscope or multi-meter to check the signal. The
+ne (red wire) connects to the wire/pin on the on the sensor that gives a positive voltage as
metal approaches the sensor.
One channel can be used if one engine sensor is inductive and the other hall-effect sensor is
wired direct to the ECU.

The Autronic CDI has four channels, these can be used in any order. To save any confusion
during wiring it is best to keep the CDI input and sequence 1, 2, 3, 4 and the output the engine
firing order.
A good way to do this is to write down the SM2 Ign O/P, CDI trigger I/P and engine firing order
on a piece of paper before wiring.
Example:- 4 cylinder engine four coils (wasted spark) with a firing order 1, 3, 4, 2.
Example:- 6 cylinder engine six or three coils (wasted spark) with a firing order 1, 5, 3, 6, 2, 4.
CDI only has two –ve coil outputs and these are wired to the appropriate ignition coil matching
+ve Coil outputs.
The –ve and +ve coil wires should be twisted and keep away from any wires relating to the
Cylinder Pulse and Reference Pulse trigger wires.
CDI ground wires must be twisted and keep short (max 150mm – 6 inch) and grounded near the
CDI. Do not share CDI ground with SM2 ground.
33
Autronic SM2 Manual ver 1.7
Before connecting to the sensor, you need to find the OPEN, CLOSED and WIPER on the
sensor.
Some TPS have more than three wires, these sensor are normally suitable, you will only need
to use three of the wires.
To find the OPEN, CLOSED and WIPER terminals on the sensor use a multimeter to test the
Ohms resistance across the terminals.
The OPEN and CLOSED terminals will give a ohms resistance that will not change as the
throttle is opened and closed.
When you have found these, test from each one of these to another terminal until you find the
two terminals that the resistance decreases as the throttle is opened.
When you have found these you are testing across the OPEN and WIPER. The other terminal is
the CLOSED.
Autronic TPS sensor are available in clockwise and anticlockwise versions (Gray and Black ).
Below are the pin outs for these.
On Air cooled engines this should be mounted so that it is reading the engine oil temperature.
As the temperature of the oil is higher then the water in a water cooled engine, the “Limp home
temperature” in the software must be set to 200 degrees.
34
Autronic SM2 Manual ver 1.7
The cylinder signal sensor can be mounted in any position in the distributor; one of the trigger
disk edges must pass through the sensor 60 degrees BTDC.
Some chip versions (1.90) will accept either 40, 60 or 75 degrees trigger angle. If using one of
these you can setup the distributor to suit the selected angle.
1. Place the engine at 60 degrees BTDC, one tooth of the disk must be about 1mm past the
centre of the sensor (cylinder signal).
2. Turn the engine to 22 degrees BTDC, the rotor button must be pointing directly at No.1
spark plug wire tower.
3. The single tooth sensor (Reference signal) must occur more then 10 degrees (crankshaft)
after the number one cylinder (60 degree tooth) and less then 10 degrees before the next
cylinder tooth signal.
If the distributor has magnetic/reluctor type sensors then the triggering point for the 60 degree
BTDC tooth is exactly in the centre of the sensor.
When installing the distributor into the engine, turn the engine to 22 degrees BTDC and install
the distributor with the rotor button pointing at No1 spark plug wire terminal. This will be close
enough for the engine to start.
After starting the engine use a timing light to check ignition timing matches the ignition angle
displayed on the screen of the PC. If not turn the distributor body to correct the timing.
35
Autronic SM2 Manual ver 1.7
2. Mount trigger disk so that one edge of one of the tooth is approximately 1mm (.040”) past
the centre of the sensor. You can use either edge of the tooth.
3. Next turn the engine so the crankshaft tooth is no longer aligned with the crank sensor, but
before the next tooth on the crank disk. See figure 2.
4. The nearest crankshaft tooth must be greater than 10 degrees away from the sensor.
5. Mount the cam shaft sensor so that one edge of one of the tooth is approximately 1mm
(.040”) past the centre of the sensor. You use either edge of the tooth.
36

Datalogging notes:
• 1000 ohm protection resistor prevents damage to wiring due to ground short circuit in
serial connector if it becomes partial disengaged from jack.
• Preferably use ¼ inch remote jack, these are more durable and easier to use than 1/8
inch switched jacks, especially if dash mounted. A 1/8” female to ¼ “ male stereo
adaptor can be installed on the PC data cable to adapt to the larger ¼ inch jack.
• Plugging laptop into remote jack inhibits logging activation by switch. Laptop can then
control logging. Setup logger and extract logged data from ECU (See Options 3 & 4).

Sensors
Map sensor and injector drivers
The SMC and SM2 have a serial number stamped on the ECU case. This will give you the
information
T1 = 2 bar map sensor
T2 = 3 bar map sensor
A2 = Low current (high impedance) injector drivers.
A4 = High current (low impedance) injector drivers.
So if you have a serial number L5472T2A4 then the ECU has a 3 bar map sensor and High
current (low impedance) injector drivers.
This sensor is of Autronics make and should not be replaced by some other type of
sensor. Some models will support NTC air temp sensors.
The sensor should be mounted to provide the best representation of the actual temperature of
the air entering the combustion chamber, ie. after any turbo or supercharger, and intercooler,
and as close to the head as possible. The sensor needs to be in the moving air stream to give
fast response times and reduce heat-soak effects.
Once a suitable position has been located for the air temperature sensor a hole should be
drilled and tapped to accept the sensor. Remove the manifold or inlet tract from the engine
before machining the sensor mount. Do not allow any metal particles to enter the inlet manifold
of the engine as these will be drawn into the engine and damage it. Wash all components
before reassemble.
43
Autronic SM2 Manual ver 1.7
O2 Sensor
Any four wire 02 sensor, either narrow or wide band can be directly connected to the ECU. This
can be used for CLC (Closed Loop Control) which is used to maintain 14.7 air fuel ratio for
correct operation of a catalytic converter. Also the air fuel ratio can be viewed in the real time
data displayed on the PC screen or recorded with the data loggers.
The directly connected 02 sensor will only be accurate across the narrow band even if you have
a wide band 02 sensor. The narrow band is from 13.5 to 15.5 air fuel ratio, and is not suitable
for tuning the engine at full power as air fuel ratios much richer will be required by the engine
and the directly connected 02 sensor will become very inaccurate at richer mixtures.
To tune or data log at richer mixtures an analyser is required.
New limits of throttle travel will have been learnt and stored in the ECU during the above
procedure. Additional ECU functions ensure that throttle stop and sensor wear are
compensated for over the life of the engine. The above procedure need only be repeated if the
butterfly / sensor assembly is serviced or replaced.

CLC is used to correct air fuel ratios to maintain Stoichiometric air fuel ratio of 14.7:1 to unsure
correct operation of catalytic converter.
The CLC has two modes, city and highway. City mode only operates when the engine is no
longer in warm up enrichment. The highway mode is optional, and can be selected in the
software set up. Highway mode is achieved when the ECU logic determines the engine is in
highway mode.
The Open Loop air fuel table is used to setup city and highway AF ratios.
The CLC will only operate on air fuel ratios Stoichiometric (14.7) or leaner. In city mode it will
ignore air fuel ratios leaner than stoichiometric and maintain stoichiometric air fuel ratio.

For the CLC to operate correctly the engine must be first tuned within 1 or 2% of required CLC
air fuel ratios.
Setup:
1. Enable Open Loop Table.
2. Enable ECU Internal CLC.
3. Enable Open Loop Lean Highway (If required).
4. Set Gain = 10. (Default value)
5. Set Adapt Rate = 30. (Default value)

The Stoichiometric air fuel ratio can be changed from the default of 14.7 to a new value in the
“Engine Setup” table.
1. Select under menu M1 “Relay/Analog O/P” table. For “Idle control” select either “Analog O/P”
or “PMW1 O/P”. If the valve is conroled by pulse width, then select “PMW1 O/P”. For
proportional type valves like the Ford EECIV Type Valve, select “Analog O/P”
2. From menu M6 select the “Idle Spd Ctrl” table. The engine idle speed is based on battery
voltage.
Example:- Battery voltage is 13.5 with no accessorys turned on (AC, cooling fans, lights)
Required idle speed 850 RPM.
a. Set the first voltage axis site to 12.00 volts. Put 1200 RPM as the idle speed
require when battery voltage is low.
b. Set all other axis values to 13.5 and put 800 rpm in these sites.
3. Select from menu M6 the “Idle setup” table. This is where you setup the idle valve range and
other parameters. IAC = Idle Air Control.
48
Autronic SM2 Manual ver 1.7
To determine the range of an idle valve set the idle speed in the “idle speed” table to a very
low value (100 rpm) so the valve is not operating. If the engine stalls, temporally set the
idle speed via the throttle stop to a rpm where the engine will idle. Note the idle speed of
the engine, as an example the engine is idling at 1000 rpm.
Now set the idle speed value in the table to 5000 rpm. Note the engine speed, in this
example we get 2800 rpm. Using this information do the following to determine the idle
control range,
2800 – 1000 = 1800 rpm range, we need to add about 50 rpm to this to get the final range,
1800 + 50 = 1850.
“W-U fastIdle inc” Set the idle speed in relation to engine temperature.
Use to make the engine idle fast while warming up.
“P-S fastIdle inc” Set the extra rpm you require added to the idle speed
after staring the engine.
“P-S fastIdle timeout” The period of time after starting the engine you wish
to maintain the extra idle rpm selected in “P-S fastIdle inc”.

Autronic SM2 Manual ver 1.7
Autronic turbo-charger anti-lag system uses a coordinated fuel and ignition control strategy in
conjunction with a large effective throttle opening to produce a substantial reduction in turbo-
charger "lag". The system is effective from a standing start, throughout up & down shifts and
when accelerating out of corners. The system can be used with a large fixed throttle opening, or
in conjunction- with electro-mechanical throttle by-pass valve or a throttle "kicker" solenoid. The
system incorporates an optional turbo-charger cool-down function that ensures rapid cool-down
prior to engine shutdown.
This anti-lag system allows the engine's large throttle opening or bypass to produce a
considerable amount of hot high velocity exhaust gas that sustains high turbo-charger speed.
This is achieved with a higher than normal idle speed (2000 to 4000 RPM typ.). The cool-down
mode uses a different strategy to produce a large volume of cool exhaust gas for rapid turbo
cool-down and it simultaneously controls idle engine speed with the large throttle opening
required.
CAUTION
This anti-lag system, like all others, causes considerable heating of engine, exhaust valves,
exhaust manifold, turbo-charger and exhaust system. Consideration must be given to the
possibility of component damage or possible vehicle fire.
Set-up of the anti-lag system MUST NOT be attempted without monitoring EXHAUST GAS
TEMPERATURE (EGT) in the vicinity of the turbine wheel. Knowledge of the maximum safe
working temperature of the turbo-charger turbine is essential. A turbo tacho and a pressure
gauge to measure the turbo compressor outlet pressure are also useful tools to assist in the
setup of anti-lag.
Operating Modes
3. Fixed throttle opening with full automatic control by ECU with manual override or manual
control of and-lag and cool-down function
Notes:- Modes 1 & 2 do not effectively use the fast cool-down function.
Anti-lag action is terminated by excessive engine temperature(> 110 deg C)
Mode 3 is the simplest mode to use, since it requires no additional engine mounted hardware
(eg: throttle kickers or solenoid controlled by-pass valves). The cool-down mode is
also most effective in this mode.
50
Autronic SM2 Manual ver 1.7
Mode 3 uses a fixed large throttle opening (typically 8 to 20%). This modes anti-lag function
uses this large opening, high idle speed (typically 2500 to 400O RPM) and ignition retard to
produce a considerable amount of hot high velocity exhaust gas that sustains high turbo-
charger speed. The cool-down mode uses a different strategy to produce a much cooler
exhaust gas temperature and simultaneously control idle engine speed with this large initial
throttle opening, when anti-lag is not active.
Activation.
1. Manual:- Ground anti-lag I/P pin no 42 to switch from cool-down to anti-lag mode.
2. Automatic:- Anti-lag activated by engine RPM exceeding 500O RPM and remains active
for 15 seconds after RPM falls below 5000RPM.
3. Auto/Manual:- As per automatic mode above but inhibited if Anti-lag I/P not grounded.
ANTI-LAG SETUP
Throttle opening, ignition retard and the resulting anti-lag no-load RPM must be chosen to
produce the best compromise between excessive exhaust temperature and good anti-lag
action. More throttle requires greater ignition retard to control no-load throttle closed RPM, and
results in higher EGT. Anti-lag ignition timing for small capacity 4 valve central spark plug
combustion chamber engines should be in range -20 to -30 deg. For large capacity 2 valve
engines -2 to -2O deg should suffice. Ignition timing retard should be maintained up to a MAP
value as high as possible but must be eliminated before 1 atmosphere is reached to ensure
adequate off-boost performance. Below anti-lag RPM normal ignition timing should be restored
so that engine torque increases with decreasing RPM in order to stabilise RPM. Additional fuel
during and-lag is often required to help control EGT. A value between 10 and 20% extra is
usually beneficial. The User defined PWM table functions as the anti-lag ignition offset table 1%
= 1 deg retard.
eg:- Anti-lag idle @ 2600 RPM approx. User Define PWM output %(0 to 100)
RPM RPM
LOAD 2400 2600 4000 TPS 2400 2600 4000

Engine idles @ 2600 RPM with 88 to 92 kPa MAP below butterfly with 30 – 40 = -10 deg
ignition. Gives 130 to 150 kPa MAP above butterfly.
!!!! IMPORTANT!!!!
1. Irrespective of the actual throttle opening used the ECU must be reset so
that the selected open is seen by the ECU as 0% open. Throttle limit
learning must be performed each time a new throttle stop setting is set.
2. Before attempting anti-lag set-up it is most important that correct fuel and
ignition calibration be achieved for "normal" engine operation.
51
Autronic SM2 Manual ver 1.7
COOL-DOWN SETUP
The cooldown function produces a stable idle with an exhaust sound similar to that produced by
engines fitted with long duration camshafts. This disappears as soon as the engine is laboured
at low RPM or loaded at higher RPMs. Spark plugs normally remain clean even during extend
periods of cool-down idling. Cooldown MIN RPM and MAX RPM settings are set to values
above and below the Desired cool-down idle RPM. These values should be at least 800 RPM
apart to prevent idle instability. The cool-down mode MAX THROTTLE setting is usually set to
5% for best drivability.
eg:- Cool-down idle @ 1700 RPM
COOLDOWN MIN RPM - 1400 RPM
COOLDOWN MAX RPM - 2400 RPM
COOLDOWN MAX THROTTLE = 5%.
SOFTWARE SETUP
See mode flags at end of this manual for enabling anti-lag and cool-down.
Available from the Autronic website is a program called ModeFlags that will calculate the
values for you.

Chip version 1.37 and 1.49 can be used with crank triggers with missing teeth or multiple teeth
e.g:- Motronic 60-2 or simular combinations.
To setup the software to suit this type crank trigger requires setting mode flags, 13, 14 and 15.
Mode Flag 13 = Number of teeth on camshaft rpm trigger. This should always be one tooth.
You also have to add 128 in this case, to tell the ECU there are missing teeth
on the crank trigger.
Mode Flag 14 = Number of teeth including the missing teeth on the crank trigger divided by the
number of teeth that the Autronic systems require on the crank trigger.
Example:- An six cylinder engine should have three teeth, so In this case
we have 58 teeth plus 2 missing teeth divided by 3 = 20
Mode Flag 15 = This is the offset in number of teeth, from the closest tooth to the sensor
while the engine is at 60 degrees BTDC and the reference signal (camshaft
trigger).
In this case the number of teeth could be from 0 to 19. There is a unknown
area/numbers between 0 and 19 that cannot be used. Selecting above or
below this area will cause a change in ignition and injector output sequence.
To find this value, turn the engine to TDC number one cylinder and mark the
crank pulley with a mark that will be visible when the engine is running. Use a
timing light and crank the engine while looking for the mark. If the mark is not
visible, keep adjusting mode flag 15 until it is visible and close to your TDC
pointer.
This will be close enough to start the engine. When the engine is running you
can make the final adjustment to mode flag 15 so that the ignition timing
displayed on the PC screen matches the engine timing.
To use this method to find mode flag 15, requires the ignition output sequence
being wired correctly for the sequence of you engine. See “Ignition Output
Sequence” under the hardware section.

Throttle/Manifold mapping.
Engines with one throttle butterfly per intake port and turbocharged must use this method of
mapping. This type of mapping has advantages on naturally aspirated engines with big
camshafts.
The Base Fuel Deliver table is throttle mapped and the Base Ignition Timing table is pressure
mapped.
In the fuel table the Load values relate to throttle position. e.g:- Load site 10 = 10% throttle
position. The sites marked * are the sites that require tuning in the Base Fuel Delivery table.

Running Autotune™
To run Autotune™ press F5 while the base fuel table is displayed. You can also view the Auto-
tuning in a 3D graph by pressing the key G before pressing F5.
The Edit menu has many Autotune™ options and functions available while the base fuel table is
displayed. When a RPM or Load site is tuned the site has it’s attribute set. To make manual
changes to a site after the attribute is set requires the attribute being removed. The key R will
remove the attribute. You can show the attribute of all the sites in the able by pressing Ctrl+P.
It is recommended you set the engine parameter limits in the “PC Limits/Log setup” under the
Logger menu to minimum or maximum values suitable for your engine before running
Autotune™. If any of these limits are exceeded Auto-tuning will stop tuning and the user ID bar
will turn red and display and limit that has been excide, also the PC speaker will sound a
waring.
During the tuning Load and RPM sites will be coloured Yellow (attribute set) if the site is tuned
within 2% of the accuracy you have set in the Autotune™ setup. When a site is tuned to the
accuracy you have specified then the site will be coloured Green.
To tune sites requires the engine RPM and Load to be held for 1 to 2 seconds for tuning to
occur. Most low engine RPM sites (under 3000 RPM in most cases) can be tuned by road
driving the car. The use of different gears a little brake pedal or a hill will help to tune most sites.
The high RPM sites will require in most cases the use of a dyno that will hold a fixed RPM or
vehicle speed.
The preferred method to tune the sites on a dyno is to fix the engine RPM and progressively
open the throttle stoping at each load site for a few seconds. When all sites are coloured set the
fixed RPM to the next RPM site and repeat the process.
After you have finished tuning, any sites not able to be reached can be manual adjusted to
values simular to near tuned sites and then there attribute set by pressing the key A.
Fast Autotune™
Autotune™ one site at mid RPM with some load. Stop Autotune™ and then
copy this value to all other sites using the copy column and copy row
keys.
Continue to tune the other sites with the Autotune™. When you have tuned
them, change the Autotune™ setting to 2% and "Already Mapped". and go
back over the sites. This will give you the fastest Autotune™.

If you are using coil packs or direct coils see the Direct Fire Ignition section below before
starting the engine.
Items required.
You will require the following items before attempting to start the engine.
Ignition timing light.
Exhaust gas analyzer.
Software.
1. With the PC connected to the SM2 and the calibration software running, turn on the
ignition (you should hear the fuel pump start and then turn off) and select “Go online”
from the File menu or press F3.
2. Press Alt+6 to open menu M6 and select the “Idle ignition timing” table. Set all RPM
values to 10 degrees.
3. Press Alt+1 to open menu M1 and select “base settings”. You will need this window
visible when starting the engine so you can increase or decrease the “Overall fuel cal mul”
to change the overall fuel trim to get the engine running smoothly.
5. Before starting the engine check the on screen real time engine data to see if everything
makes sense
e.g:- air and water temperatures are correct, throttle position is linear from 0 to 100%.
As the engine warms up the air fuel ratio will get leaner. When the engine is up to
operating temperature the engine should be idling on 13.0 to 14.7 air fuel ratio. Use the
“Overall fuel cal mul” to make corrections.
2. Use the timing light to check the ignition timing matches the “Ign. Angle-MEAN-“
displayed in the real time engine data. If they do not agree do the following.
Distributor:- Turn the distributor body.
Crank trigger:- Move the sensor or turn the trigger disk.

Direct fire ignition sequence testing.
This type of installation is very difficult to setup and the following should be used to check
you have the correct ignition sequence for your engine.
In this example we are using a six cylinder engine with three double ended coils using
wasted spark. The firing order is 1,5,3,5,6,2,4
Turn the engine until the piston is on compression TDC No1 cylinder, using a white marker
place a single mark on the harmonic balancer that will be visible with a timing light with the
engine cranking.
Turn the engine until it is on TDC No2 cylinder in the firing order, and place two marks on
the harmonic balancer. Do the same for third cylinder to fire, placing three marks.
With the injector connectors disconnected or the fuel pump disconnected, use a timing light
connected to No1 spark plug, and crank the engine, you should see only one mark on the
harmonic balancer. If you see two or three marks you have the ignition output sequence
wrong. Swap the ignition output connectors in the SMC harness connector until you see
one mark on the balancer.
When this is correct put the timing light on the spark plug lead of the second cylinder to fire
and check for two marks on the balancer. If incorrect do the same as above. Repeat this
on cylinder three in the firing order, looking for three marks.
If the only ignition O/P that produces a occasional flash from the timing light is Ign O/P1
then the camshaft reference signal is missing or cylinder pulse errors.

• IGNITION ADVANCE ATTACK RATE. Sets the maximum rate at which the ignition
timing is allowed to advance. Can be used to improve driveability and/or reduce exhaust
emissions. Calibration range 6 to 1590 deg/sec.
• IGNITION ADVANCE RETARD RATE.
Set the maximum rate at which the ignition timing is allowed to
retard. Can be used in conjunction with above to improve driveability and/or reduce
exhaust emissions. Calibration range. 6 to 1590 deg/sec.
• CLOSED THROTTLE ACCELERATION MULTIPLIER. Sets the amount of additional
fuel delivered for increasing throttle openings starting from a closed throttle condition.
Controls the delivery of fuel for acceleration from small throttle openings
• OPEN THROTTLE ACCELERATION MULTIPLIER. Sets the amount of additional fuel
delivered for increasing throttle openings starting from a part throttle condition. Controls
the delivery of fuel for acceleration from large throttle openings.
• PART THROTTLE ACCELERATION LIMIT. Sets the throttle position above which the
closed throttle acceleration multiplier no longer has an effect on acceleration fuel
delivery. This calibration is dependent upon the relative size of the throttle butterflies to
the engine capacity. Calibration range is 0 to 100% of throttle opening.
Warm-Up Enrichment
This calibration table allows engine coolant temperature and engine "load" dependent control of
additional fuel delivery. It controls additional fuel delivery after the initial post start enrichment
period has finished, and its main function is to ensure stable engine operation during engine
warm-up. It can also be used to enrich the air/fuel mixture at high engine loads if an engine
overheated condition is detected in order to minimise the risk of engine damage. Calibration
may be selected at up to 13 engine coolant temperature sites and 10 engine "load" sites and the
adjustment range is 1.00 to 1.99 times the base fuel delivery.

Post Start Enrichment Calibration
Additional fuel delivery immediately after start-up is controlled by this table, this additional
delivery decays away with time to the warm-up enrichment value from the table above.
Calibration range is 1.00 to 3.99 times the base fuel delivery. This calibration function is only
engine coolant temperature dependent and it uses the same engine coolant temperature
'calibration sites as chosen for the warm-up enrichment calibration table above.

Wastegate Control
3. BOOST CONTROL RANGE OFFSET. Use to correct actual decreces or increces in boost
that occour above or below the desired boost levels set in boost table at varing engine
RPM’s. Correction values of –250Kpa to 250Kpa can be used.
4. BOOST RANGE = 50 kpa + (maximum boost – preset boost at waste gate) Ex, wastegate
manually set to 40 kpa (0,4 Bar) and max boost is 120 kpa (1,2 Bar), 50+(120-40)=130 Boost
range should be set to130 kpa.
Miscellaneous Calibration
Many variables exist that work with the above calibration functions, some are selected
automatically by the laptop program depending upon the users response to questions asked by
the program, others may be adjusted directly from a special screen display. These calibrations
include:

Data logging
There are two ways to data log. This can be with the PC memory or the ECU memory.
See page “Datalogging setup, wiring” for more information about hardware setup.
PC Logger setup:
Go to the "Logger" menu and select "PC logger setup" Select the rate and leave the trigger on
"Disabled". Under the logger menu select "PC warnings & select" and press the space bar to
put a check mark against what you want to log.
Now press F8 to start logging, F8 to stop logging and then F10 to display the data log. You may
have to go to the "Edit-Window" and select "Graph colors and span" and select what lines are
displayed, you can also select the minimum and maximum range of each item logged and their
color. To save the graph, go to the "Edit-Window" and select save data log.
Go to the "Logger" menu and select "ECU logger setup" Select the items to be logged, the rate
and the trigger. After this is setup you will get a dialog confirming the ECU logger was
successfully setup. Now press F4 to lock in the changes.
Disconnect the laptop , turn the ignition off. On next start the ECU logger will record data based
on the trigger you selected. To retrieve the data, reconnect the laptop and go online. Go to the
"Logger" menu and select "Retrieve ECU data". It will retrieve the data and ask for a file name
to save the data. When this is complete, go to the "Logger" menu and select "Open logged file"

ECU Diagnostic
• Faulty sensors.
• Electrical interference.
This indicator is located near the main connector, and some models (eg:- SMC) allow
connection of a remote indicator light. Each time the ECU is activated (ignition on) previously
detected HISTORY or old error conditions are indicated. After the completion of the HISTORY
error codes, error codes are displayed as the errors are detected. An error code will remain
stored in ECU memory until the fault is repaired and the engine is warned-up (from cold to
normal operating temperature) 20 times. This error memory feature allows the engines' user
reasonable time to fault find difficult intermittent faults, or drive in limp-home mode to qualified
service for repair. When the repair is effected the old stored error codes may be erased by
using the laptop calibration program.
• Error codes are all 2 digits, each digit comprising a number of 1/2 second on, 1/2
second off flashes.
• As detected error codes can occur 10 seconds after the completion of the ignition on
HISTORY CODES.
Normal Engine and ECU operation should present only 2 flashes 2.5 seconds apart at ignition
on. Indicating that the ECU is without any stored error HISTORY and presently not detecting
any new errors.
