Installation is intended to be simple: unplug the old module and reconnect the AITKEN unit in the same location. This product is designed as plug-and-play, so no ECU coding should be performed after installation; instead, run driving tests to confirm operation.

• Disconnect battery, remove access panel, unplug the original EKPM, and fit the AITKEN module in the same orientation.
• Re-connect wiring harness and battery, then perform a road test to let the vehicle adapt.
• If engine won’t start or a warning light remains on, consult the included manual or contact AITKEN support before attempting coding.

What performance and protection benefits does this replacement module provide?

The EKPM3 controls fuel pump operation to maintain steady fuel delivery and protect the fuel system and engine under various driving conditions. Replacing a failing module can improve drivability and reduce unexpected stalls or performance dips associated with erratic fuel supply.

• Restores efficient fuel delivery for smoother throttle response and stable idling.
• Monitors and regulates pump output to help protect engine components and prolong service life.
• Manufactured to match OEM form, fit and mounting points for correct integration.

What should I do if I experience problems after fitting this module?

If the vehicle fails to start or dashboard warnings persist after installation, follow the troubleshooting steps in the product manual first. Avoid immediate coding; many faults resolve after proper installation and a short drive cycle.

• Re-check connectors and ground points to ensure solid electrical connections.
• Perform a driving test as recommended; note any fault codes and contact AITKEN support with OE number and vehicle details.
• If problems persist, have a qualified technician inspect the fuel pump system and wiring harness.
