Some of the information in this manual is very important and, if the unit is improperly installed or an error code misunderstood, could result in serious damage to your vehicle and transmission. 3

PREPARATION 4L60E Transmission: The Quick 1 TCS currently supports 1996 and newer 4L60E transmissions. Support for the 1993-95 is planned in the near future. 4L80E Transmission: Pre-1993 4L80E transmissions use a different internal wiring harness and pass- through connector. This early harness has a problem with leaking fluid at the pass-through connector. GM recommends upgrading to the newer connector and wiring harness. Because of this, we do not provide a wiring harness for it. If you have one of these early transmissions, it will be necessary to upgrade to the 1993+ internal wiring harness. The Bosch pressure control solenoid used in pre-1994 4L80E transmissions is not compatible with the Quick 1 TCS. You will need to upgrade it to the 1994+ Holley solenoid. The older Bosch solenoid is silver, while the newer Holley solenoid is black. If your solenoid is already black, you have the right one and it doesn't need to be changed. The GM part number for the Holley pressure control solenoid is 8684216. 4

CONNECTING THE ESSENTIALS (ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION) Step 1: Ground Splice the ground wires (Pins 15 & 16 Black) from the Quick 1 into the main ECU (Engine Control Unit) ground wire. Do NOT connect the ground wires to sheet metal or other ground sources. The Quick 1 MUST be connected to the Main ECU ground, as close to the ECU as possible. Step 2: Power Splice the power wire (Pin 9 Red with 7.5 Amp fuse) from the Quick 1 into the main ECU (Engine Control Unit) ignition-switched power wire. Step 3: Throttle Position Sensor or Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Splice the Throttle Position Sensor signal wire (Pin 3 Green) from the Quick 1 into the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) signal input of the ECU (Engine Control Unit). If the vehicle has Electronic Throttle Control, use the Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor instead of the TPS. Step 4: Transmission Connectors Connect the Solenoid, PRNDL, and TSS cables to the transmission. Additionally, connect the Neutral Safety Switch and the Backup Lamp Switch. Step 5: Accessories Connect the optional accessories you wish to use. See the "Optional Accessories" section for details. 5

CONNECTING THE ESSENTIALS (CARBURETED AND MECHANICALLY-INJECTED DIESEL) Step 1: Ground Connect the ground wire (Pin 15 Black) from the Quick 1 directly to the battery ground post or negative battery cable. Do NOT connect the ground wire to sheet metal or other ground sources. The Quick 1 MUST be connected directly to the battery ground post or negative battery cable. Step 2: Power Connect the power wire (Pin 9 Red with 7.5 Amp fuse) from the Quick 1 to ignition-switched power wire. Do NOT use accessory-switched power. Step 3: Throttle Position Sensor Attach the 3 Throttle Position wires from the Quick 1 to the Throttle Position Sensor. Pin 16 Black is dedicated ground. Pin 11 Orange is +5v reference feed. Pin 3 Dark Green is the position sensor signal. See the "Throttle Position Sensor" section for details. Step 4: Transmission Connectors Connect the Solenoid, PRNDL, and TSS cables to the transmission. Additionally, connect the Neutral Safety Switch and the Backup Lamp Switch. Step 5: Accessories Connect the optional accessories you wish to use. See the "Optional Accessories" section for details. 6

SETTING UP THE QUICK 1 Step 6: Calibration Verify that the correct calibration is loaded on the Quick 1. A standard calibration specific to your order is loaded before shipment. However, if the transmission configuration has changed since the order was placed, you'll need to connect the Quick 1 to a Windows PC and install the Shiftware Tuning Software. (See the “Shiftware” section for installation instructions.) Using the software, load the calibration that matches your transmission's configuration. 8

Step 7: Throttle Position Sensor Calibration Set the Closed Throttle and Full Throttle Positions. This step should be done with the ignition turned to “ON”, but the engine off. The engine should also be warm. Turn the knob to “Tune” (tnE) and click once. “Closed Throttle Position” (CtP) should be displayed. Leave the accelerator untouched. Click the knob once, then double-click to set the current Closed Throttle Position. Click again to exit. Turn the knob to “Full Throttle Position” (FtP). Hold the accelerator all the way down. Click the knob once, then double-click to set the current Full Throttle Position. Click again to exit. Turn the knob to “Save and Exit” (SAE). Click once to save and exit. 9

NOTES ON INSTALLATION General Installation: The Quick 1 unit should be mounted within the passenger compartment of the vehicle in a protected location. Good mounting areas include under the dash, behind a kick panel, or under the seat, as long as the unit and wiring are not subject to damage. Under-hood mounting is NOT possible with the Quick 1 unit. It is not waterproof or rated for under-hood temperatures. Passenger compartment mounting is also necessary to provide easy access to the USB port, which is used to interface with a PC for programming and diagnostics, as well as the display and function control knob. For this reason, be sure to mount the unit in a way that gives easy access to the USB port. If you will be using a desktop PC for programming, install the unit so that it can be unplugged and moved easily. All electrical connections should be made using 60/40 rosin core solder. Cover the connection with heat-shrinkable tubing for improved insulation and mechanical strength. Individual connector terminals can be connected using a “piggy-back” method, where the terminal is removed from the plastic connector housing to allow the new wire to be soldered on to the terminal atop the original wire. Two wires may be connected together by twisting them together longitudinally, soldering, then covering with the appropriate size heat-shrink tubing. Before Driving the Vehicle: Start the engine and move the shifter through all positions, ensuring that the gear position and all sensor readings shown on the controller are correct. Most importantly, make sure that no error codes are shown on the Quick 1 display. It is a good idea to periodically check the Quick 1 display for errors as you drive, so it is wise to consider an accessible mounting location. If any error codes or unexpected characters are displayed, please refer to the user interface manual for detailed explanations. If possible, perform a line pressure check to ensure that line pressure is correct at idle (typically 60 - 80PSI), and that it smoothly increases toward maximum (typically 190-240PSI) as the throttle position increases. If you have any questions about the installation or line pressure readings, please contact our technical support department. 10
