    Thank you for purchasing an AEM Engine Management System.  
      
    The AEM Engine Management System (EMS) is the resul t of extensive development on a 
    wide variety of cars. Each system is engineered for  the particular application. The AEM 
    EMS differs from all others in several ways. The EM S is a stand alone system, which 
    completely replaces the factory ECU and features un ique Plug and Play Technology, 
    which means that each system is configured especial ly for your make and model of car 
    without any jumper harnesses. There is no need to m odify your factory wiring harness and 
    in most cases your car may be returned to stock in  a matter of minutes.  
     
    For stock and slightly modified vehicles, the suppl ied startup calibrations are configured to 
    work with OEM sensors, providing a solid starting p oint for beginner tuning. For more 
    heavily modified cars, the EMS can be reconfigured  to utilize aftermarket sensors and has 
    many spare inputs and outputs allowing the eliminat ion of addon revlimiters, boost 
    controllers, nitrous controllers, fuel computers, e tc. It also includes a configurable onboard 
    1MB data logger that can record any 16 EMS paramete rs at up to 250 samples per 
    second. Every EMS comes with all functions installe d and activated; there is no need to 
    purchase options or upgrades to unlock the full pot ential of your unit. 
     
    The installation of the AEM EMS on the supported ve hicles uses the stock sensors and 
    actuators. After installing the AEMTuner software,  the startup calibration will be saved to 
    the following folder on your PC:   
    C:\Program Files\AEM\AEMTuner\Calibrations\Mitsubis hi-DSM\  
    Multiple calibrations may be supplied for each EMS;  additional details of the test vehicle 
    used to generate each calibration can be found in t he Calibration Notes section for that 
    file.    
    Please visit the AEM Performance Electronics Forum  at http://www.aempower.com and 
    register.  We always post the most current strategy  release, PC Software and startup 
    calibrations online. On the forum, you can find and  share many helpful hints/tips to make 
    your EMS perform its best.      
    TUNING NOTES AND WARNING:
      
    While the supplied startup calibration may be a goo d starting point and can save 
    considerable time and money, it will not replace th e need to tune the EMS for your specific 
    application. AEM startup calibrations are not inten ded to be driven aggressively before 
    tuning. We strongly recommend that every EMS be tun ed by someone who is already 
    familiar with the AEM software and has successfully  tuned vehicles using an AEM EMS. 
    Most people make mistakes as part of the learning p rocess; be warned that using your 
    vehicle as a learning platform can damage your engi ne, your vehicle, and your EMS.

    Read and understand these instructions BEFORE attempting to install this product. 
    1)  Install AEMTuner software onto your PC   The latest version of the AEMTuner software can be  downloaded from the AEMTuner 
    section of the AEM Performance Electronics forums.  Series 2 units are not supported 
    by the older AEMPro tuning software.   
      
    2)  Remove the Stock Engine Control Unit 
    a) Access  the  stock  Engine  Control  Unit  (ECU).  The  loc ation  of  the  ECU  on  the  2G 
    DSM  vehicles  is  behind  the  radio  in  the  center  cons ole.  The  EVO8  ECU  is  located 
    behind the glove box. 
    b) Carefully  disconnect  the  wiring  harness  from  the  EC U.    Avoid  excessive  stress  or 
    pulling  on  the  wires,  as  this  may  damage  the  wiring   harness.  Some  factory  ECUs 
    use  a  bolt  to  retain  the  factory  connectors,  and  it   must  be  removed  before  the 
    harness  can  be  disconnected.  There  may  be  more  than   one  connector,  and  they 
    must  all  be  removed  without  damage  to  work  properly   with  the  AEM  ECU.  Do  not 
    cut any of the wires in the factory wiring harness  to remove them.  
    c) Remove  the  fasteners  securing  the  ECU  to  the  car  bo dy,  and  set  them  aside.  Do 
    not destroy  or discard the factory  ECU,  as  it can b e  reinstalled  easily  for  street use 
    and troubleshooting. 
    3)  Install the AEM Engine Management System 
    a) Plug  the  factory  wiring  harness  into  the  AEM  EMS  an d  position  it  so  the  wires  are 
    not  pulled  tight  or  stressed  in  any  manner.  Secure  the  EMS  with  the  provided 
    Velcro fasteners. 
    b) Plug the communications cable into the EMS and into  your PC. 
    c) Turn the ignition on but do not attempt to start the engine.  
    d) The USB drivers must be installed the first time yo u connect to a Series 2 EMS with 
    an  onboard  USB  port.  When  the  Series  2  EMS  is  conne cted  to  the  PC’s  USB  port 
    and  receiving  power  from  the  vehicle,  the  “Found  Ne w  Hardware”  window  will 
    appear. Select  “Install from a list of specific lo cation (Advanced)” and browse to the 
    following folder:   C:\Program Files\AEM\AEMTuner\USB Drivers (Series 2 )\ 
     
    e) With the AEMTuner software open, select  ECU>>Upload Calibration to upload the 
    startup calibration file (.cal) that most closely m atches the vehicle’s configuration to 
    be tuned. Check the Notes section of the calibratio n for more info about the vehicle 
    it was configured for. These files can be found in  the following folder:  
    C:\Program Files\AEM\AEMTuner\Calibrations\Mitsubis hi-DSM\     
    						
    							Page 4 of 15 
    f) 
    Set the throttle range: Select Wizards>>Set Throttl
    e Range and follow the on
    screen instructions. When finished, check that the  ‘Throttle’ channel never indicates 
    less than 0.2% or greater than 99.8%, this is consi dered a sensor error and may 
    cause some functions including idle feedback and ac celeration fuel to operate 
    incorrectly.    
    4)  Ready to begin tuning the vehicle. 
    a) Before  starting  the  engine,  verify  that  the  fuel  pu mp  runs  for  a  couple  of  seconds 
    when the key is turned on and there is sufficient p ressure at the fuel rail.  
    If  a  MAP  sensor  is  installed,  check  that  the  Engine   Load  indicates  something  near 
    atmospheric pressure (approximately 101kPa or 0 PSI  at sea level) with the key on 
    and engine off. Press the throttle and verify that  the ‘Throttle’ channel responds but 
    the Engine Load channel continues to measure atmosp heric pressure correctly.  
     
    b) Start the engine and make whatever adjustments may  be needed to sustain a safe 
    and reasonably smooth idle. Verify the ignition tim ing: Select Wizards>>Ignition 
    Timing Sync  from the  pulldown menu.  Click the ‘ Lock Ignition Timing’ checkbox 
    and set the timing to a safe and convenient value ( for instance, 10 degrees BTDC). 
    Use a Timing Light and compare the physical timing  numbers to the timing value 
    you selected. Use the  Sync Adjustment Increase/Decrease  buttons to make the 
    physical reading match the timing number you select ed. 
     
    c) Note:  This  calibration  needs  to  be  properly  tuned  b efore  driving  the  vehicle.  It  is 
    intended  for  racing  vehicles  and  may  not  operate  sm oothly  at  idle  or  partthrottle. 
    NEVER TUNE THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING
     
     
    5)  Troubleshooting an engine that will not start 
    a) Doublecheck  all  the  basics  first…  engines  need  air ,  fuel,  compression,  and  a 
    correctlytimed spark event. If any of these are la cking, we suggest checking simple 
    things  first.  Depending  on  the  symptoms,  it  may  be  best  to  inspect  fuses,  sufficient 
    battery  voltage,  properly  mated  wiring  connectors,  spark  using  a  timing  light  or  by 
    removing  the  spark  plug,  wiring  continuity  tests,  m easure  ECU  pinout  voltages, 
    replace  recentlyadded  or  untested  components  with  knowngood  spares.  Check 
    that all EMS sensor inputs measure realistic temper ature and/or pressure values.  
     
    b) If the EMS is not firing the coils or injectors at  all, open the Start tab and look for the 
    ‘Stat  Sync’d’  channel  to  turn  ON  when  cranking.  Thi s  indicates  that  the  EMS  has 
    detected  the  expected  cam  and  crank  signals;    if  St at  Sync’d  does  not  turn  on, 
    monitor  the  Crank  Tooth  Period  and  T2PER  channels  w hich  indicate  the  time 
    between pulses on the Crank and T2 (Cam) signals. B oth of these channels should 
    respond  when  the  engine  is  cranking,  if  either  sign al  is  not  being  detected  or 
    measuring  an  incorrect  number  of pulses  per  engine  cycle  the  EMS  will  not fire  the 
    coils or injectors.   
    c) If  the  Engine  Load  changes  when  the  throttle  is  pre ssed  this  usually  indicates  that 
    there  is  a  problem  with  the  MAP  sensor  wiring  or  so ftware  calibration  (when  the 
    EMS detects that the MAP Volts are above or below t he min/max limits it will run in 
    a  failsafe  mode  using  the  TPStoLoad  table  to  gene rate  an  artificial  Engine  Load 
    signal using the Throttle input). This may allow th e engine to sputter or start but not 
    continue running properly.

    WARNING:      
    *  The  factory  A/C  request  switch  sends  12V  power  to   signal  an  A/C  request  and  the  30
    6310 EMS has been designed to accept 12V power on t his switched input. If users desire 
    to  rewire  a  new  switch  to  trigger  the  Switch  2  inp ut  the  switch  should  connect  to  12V 
    power when the switch is on. The pin can be left fl oating (disconnected) when the switch is 
    off; it is not required to send ground to this pin.    
       
    						
    							Page 6 of 15 
    **All  other  switch  input  pins  must  connect  to  ground;  the  switch  should  not  provide  12V 
    power to the EMS because that will not be detected  as on or off. Connecting 12V power to 
    the Switch 3, Switch 4 or Switch 5 pins may damage  your EMS and void your warranty.  
      
    Wiring  harness  destinations  for  nonUSDM  vehicles  m ay  be  different  than  listed  in  the 
    pinout charts below. If installing this EMS on a ve hicle not originally sold in the US, please 
    verify that the vehicle’s wiring harness matches th e pinout shown here before installation. 
     
    The  function  of  several  pins  have  been  changed  from   the  original  301310  EMS,  please 
    see the pinout chart for more info.   
    Primary Load Sensor, EMS Fuel Strategy
       
     The factory MAF (mass air flow) sensor can be remov ed to help decrease intake air 
    restriction; the EMS can be configured to use a MAP  sensor to determine engine load. 
     
    It is recommended to use a 3.5 bar MAP sensor or hi gher (P/N 30213050). Please be 
    aware that the IAT (intake air temperature) sensor  is integrated into the factory MAF 
    sensor. If the factory MAF / IAT sensor is removed,  you may wish to install an AEM IAT 
    Sensor Kit (P/N 302010), which includes a sensor,  wire connector, and aluminum weldin 
    bung. While the factory MAF sensor locates the IAT  sensor upstream of the turbocharger 
    inlet, it may be preferable to install an IAT senso r downstream of the intercooler to 
    accurately measure charge temperatures.
      
      
    The factory Mass Air Flow and Intake Air Temperatur e sensors can be used as the 
    primary load input for the AEM EMS if desired. Plea se check the Notes section of each 
    calibration for more info about the vehicle setup a nd fuel strategy that calibration was 
    configured to use.   
    EMS Fuel Map, Boost Fuel Trim Table
     
    The 306310 maps provided utilize the  “Boost Fuel Trim Table” to provide a 1:1 fuel 
    compensation above and below atmospheric pressure.  In the startup calibration, the 
    “ Boost Fuel Trim Table ” is configured to provide twice as much fuel when  the manifold 
    pressure is twice as high and half the fuel when th e manifold pressure is half as high; this 
    should help simplify the tuning process for differe nt vacuum and boost levels. Notice the 
    values in the main  “Fuel Map” do not change above 100 kPa (0 psi boost), the fuel  
    correction is being made by the  “Boost Fuel Trim Table.”  
    Note: the  “Boost Fuel Trim Table”  must be adjusted if a different MAP sensor is insta lled or 
    if the Load breakpoints are adjusted. The Boost Fue l Trim value should be set to 90 at 
    10kPa, 0 at 100 kPa, +100 at 200 kPa, +200 at 300 k Pa, etc… 
      
    Peak and Hold Injector Drivers
     
    Injectors  16  include  Peak  (4  amps)  and  Hold  (1  amp )  injector  drivers.  These  drivers  may 
    be  used  with  peak  and  hold  or  saturated  type  inject ors.  The  factory  Mitsubishi  wiring 
    harness  contains  a  resistor  pack  to  prevent  excessi ve  current  when  using  lowimpedance 
    injectors  with  the  stock  ECU.  With  the  306310  inst alled,  users  can  elect  to  remove  and 
    bypass the OEM resistor pack for more precise contr ol of lowimpedance injectors.  
      
    Please  note  that  the  injector  response  time  will  be   different  with  and  without  the  factory 
    injector  resistor  pack.  If  the  OEM  resistor  pack  ha s  been  removed  and  bypassed,  please 
    use  the  correct  battery  offset  wizard  for  your  inje ctors.  Most  battery  offset  wizards  will 
    specify  if they are intended for use w ithout a resistor pack.

    Unused accessories:
     
    The  check  engine  light  (LS10  output)  is  configured  as  a  shift  light  at  7000  RPM  but  this 
    value can be changed.   
    The stock “boost” gauge is not used on 2G DSM vehic les. 
     
    Major pinout differences, 2G DSM vs EVO8: 
    Fuel Pump:  LS11 output (pin 8) for 2G DSM,  LS6 ou tput (pin 22) for EVO8. 
    A/C relay:     LS6 output (pin 22) for 2G DSM,  LS1 1 output (pin 8) for EVO8. 
       
    Fuel Pump Control
     
    There is a main Fuel Pump Relay (LS6 output for the  EVO8, LS11 output for the 2G DSM) 
    which is used to turn the pump on or off.   
    The  INJ5  output  (pin  3)  controls  the  Fuel  Pressure  Solenoid  on  both  the  EVO8  and  2G 
    DSM.  The  Fuel  Pressure  Solenoid  causes  the  Fuel  Pre ssure  Regulator’s  vacuum  line  to 
    reference  atmospheric  pressure  rather  than  the  inta ke  manifold  pressure.  This  will  allow 
    for  increased  fuel  pressure  in  vacuum,  but  the  lack   of  pressure  reference  will  lead  to 
    insufficient  fuel  pressure  when  manifold  pressure  i s  above  atmospheric  pressure.  This 
    output is always disabled in the startup calibrati on. 
     
    The  LS1  output  (pin  39)  controls  the  Fuel  Pump  Low  Speed  Relay,  which  is  only  present 
    on  the  EVO8.  This  relay  can  be  activated  to  decreas e  voltage  sent  to  the fuel  pump. This 
    output is always disabled in the startup calibrati on. 
     
    WARNING:  Reducing the voltage sent to the fuel pump can affe ct fuel pump output 
    (volume and/or pressure). If you wish to decrease f uel pump speed, monitor fuel pressure 
    and air/fuel ratio very carefully to avoid engine d amage!

    EVO8 Fan Control: 
    The EVO8 has two fans: the A/C Condenser fan and th e Radiator fan.  
      
    The  A/C  Condenser  fan  is  mounted  in  front  of  the  A/ C  condenser  (near  front  bumper 
    opening).  There  are  two  control  relays  in  the  facto ry  wiring  harness  that  can  change  the 
    speed  of  the  A/C  condenser  fan.  When  the  INJ12  outp ut  (pin  34)  is  ON  but  the  IDLE5 
    output  (pin  32)  is  OFF,  the  fan  will  run  at  low  spe ed.    When  both  the  INJ12  (pin  34)  and 
    IDLE5 (pin 32) are ON, the fan will run at high spe ed. Note that the A/C condenser fan will 
    also force air through the radiator.  
    The  Cooling  Fan  is  mounted  behind  the  radiator  (nea r  the  turbocharger).  There  is  a  Fan 
    Control Module that can change the speed of the Coo ling Fan. The LS2 output (pin 21) of 
    the  EMS  sends  a  pulsewidth  modulated  signal  of  var ious  duty  cycles  to  the  Fan  Control 
    Module  to  request  various  fan  speeds.  The  startup  calibration  uses  User  PW  table  to 
    control  the  duty  cycle  of  the  LS2  output. The  ‘User   PW Analog  In’ option  will  define  the  x
    axis of the table; this is set to Coolant Volts in  the startup calibration.  
     
    Please use the following reference chart when makin g adjustments to the User PW table:
