This Tech Doc was written to help customers with very old LGMG-E Installations
The latest version of the LGMG-E kit utilises a daughter board with spring loaded contacts that connect to the LGMG control board. As we no longer publish or maintain an installation manual for this version kit, it is being published as a Tech Doc here for those customers that still have this old kit version in service.
Please note that the Software Version 9 update is not compatible with the Pre 2021 harness in this old kit. You will need to update your harness in order to update your software.
