Note: MaxxECU plugin do not support AC control, because most people remove the AC on these vehicles anyway.

Older versions of this plugin did control the AC.

 

 

Rewire to get AC support

Vehicle ECU pin6 = AC magnetic clutch deactivation --> Solder a wire and connect to a free GPO or INJ and configure output as a User output.

Vehicle ECU pin 41 = Digital signal active when AC compressor is on --> solder a wire and connect to available DIN and configure input as AC request/idle up.

1. Configure the wired GND output as an available user output.

2. Configure the user output to DISABLE the AC using the above condition (or any other condition you like), in this example we disable the AC clutch above 85% Throttle position.

 

 

 

Note: This plugin adapter uses only connector 1 on MaxxECU RACE/PRO units, for extra functionality, the second harness can be added to the RACE ECU.

The PRO ECU have in total of four ECU connectors which could be added for extra functionality: second harness, third harness and/or harness 4.
