Installing ECU Manager
Installing ECU Manager onto your PC is performed similar to any other Windows
software package. Installation is outlined below to ensure correct installation:

launch into the Haltech Browser. If the CD does not run automatically double
click on the “My Computer” icon on the desktop, double click on the Haltech icon
(CD- ROM drive) to start the browser software.
2.The Browser will display the disclaimer and you will need to agree to the
terms stated before allowing to progress. Read the Disclaimer and click on

Link. You will be prompted to install the software. Click “Install” to install
ECU Manager and the Data Log viewer.
5. Follow the software prompts and install the software.
With your programming cable (USB) attached to your ECU and the other end
connected to your laptop, power up the ECU by turning your key to IGN.
Start the programming software on your PC and go online with the ECU.
Powering up the ECU
The Platinum Sprint RE requires 12VDC to operate.
Please connect both the Red and Red/White cables to a switched +12VDC supply within
the vehicle. This is best achieved on a vehicle with an existing wiring harness by wiring
both these inputs to the output of the Engine Control Relay via an inline 10A fuse.
Please do not connect these cables directly to the ignition switch, as it will not be able to
handle the current required to operate the ECU.
Please refer to the wiring diagrams contained within this quick start guide for a
recommended power relay setup on an un-wired vehicle.
To avoid damage to ignition components, never connect the ignition modules to
the ECU until the ECU is configured. The same applies to the fuel system, never
connect fuel injectors until the ECU is configured, otherwise the engine may
flood with fuel.
Grounding
One of the most common wiring problems experienced is poor grounding. There should
be no paint, anodizing or other surface layer protection between the ground wire and
engine block or chassis. Temporary wiring will almost certainly cause a problem, use a
proper ground eyelet terminal and do not use loctite or similar locking agents as they
may become insulators preventing good earth connection.
ECU Ground (Black) should be connected to the chassis of the vehicle, and
Signal Ground (Black / White) should be connected directly to the Battery negative
terminal.
Please make sure your Engine block has a ground strap to the chassis.
