SIRHC LABS CORTEX EBC Affordable Gear Based Boost Control
WIRING
The 2011-2014 F-150 PCM is in the passenger side of the engine bay on the firewall. The PCM has three connectors. Power, RPM, vehicle speed, and throttle position signals can be accessed at these connectors. When the PCM is installed in the vehicle the Transmission connector will be on the right, the Engine connector will be in the middle, and the Cowl connector will be on the left.
Overview
The Cortex EBC wiring harness can be connected to the PCM connectors as outlined in the following table (C = Cowl Connector, E= Engine Connector, T = Transmission Connector). RPM and vehicle speed signals are required for boost-by-gear applications.
