STEP 1:

DOWNLOAD, INSTALL & CONFIGURE THE SOFTWARE

STEP 2:

LOCATE YOUR BIKE'S BATTERY & DIAGNOSTIC PLUG

STEP 3:

INSTALL THE EZCAN UNDER THE SEAT/ UNDER THE SIDE PANEL

Depending on the location of your Harley Davidson’s Diagnostic Port, you will be installing your ezCAN under the seat or under the side panel. You can secure the ezCAN with the velcro strips provided after the accessories have been plugged in.

STEP 4:

ROUTE AND CONNECT THE BATTERY WIRES

Route both the ezCAN power supply cables forward to the battery. Disconnect the battery wiring harness terminals from the battery and connect the ezCAN wires to the battery before re-connecting the factory wires.

IMPORTANT NOTE: First, unplug the battery negative wire and only attach it at the end again. This is good practice whenever you work on your bike’s electronics.

STEP 5:

PLUG THE EZCAN INTO THE DIAGNOSTIC PORT

  1. Unplug the cap from the bike’s diagnostic port.
  2. Plug the HEX ezCAN vehicle harness into the bike’s diagnostic port.

That’s how easy it is!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not connect to any other component or to any other part of the motorcycle’s wiring harness. If you do, the ezCAN will not function.

STEP 6:

CONNECT ACCESSORIES USING COLOUR CODING

The HEX ezCAN kit includes four two stub connectors (Orange) with male connection terminals. The stub connectors are made up of the following types:
– 4 x Two wire stub connectors (Orange)
– 4 x Terminal Wires 
(Orange)
– 4 x Blanking seals

If your auxiliary lights have three wires change the two-wire stub connector into a three-wire see the image below. If your auxiliary lights have two wires use the two-wire stub connectors for accessories that have power and ground wires only.

If you are not going to use one or more of the circuit functions it is recommended that you install a blanking plug over the unused output. The HEX ezCAN product contains two blanking plugs.

If you received four different coloured wires, please note the colour-coding on the output wires must match the colours in the output configuration you select from the HEX ezCAN circuit function software. Red to red, yellow to yellow, etc. Black wire is Battery Negative and the Red, Blue,Yellow and White are the Positive Supply.

STEP 7:

TEST THE INSTALLATION

Most newly installed accessories can be tested simply with the ignition “ON”, but some brake functions will require the bike to be in motion and traveling above a certain speed. For example, emergency braking requires deceleration of more than 21km/h/s (kilometres per hour per second).

SAFETY NOTICE: Test and check your installations and accessories in a safe, controlled environment. Caution is advised at all times. Extra vigilance is required when testing new features or accessories. You do so at your own risk.

DISCLAIMER: HEX ezCAN is not liable for any injury or damage howsoever caused and all products and services are used at your own risk.
