Trouble Shooting
If you feel that you are having any problems at all with the
Power Commander III, disconnect it from your motorcycle.
This will allow the motorcycle to run directly off of the stock
ECU.
The lights don’t come on when I turn the ignition switch on.
Check to make sure connectors are seated and the kill switch is in the “run” position.
The on-board adjustment buttons do not hold their settings.
Be sure to wait 20-30 seconds after making adjustments before starting or turning off the bike.
Can not upload to or download from the Power
Commander III.
Check to see that the serial cable is firmly in place. Verify that ignition switch is on and the kill switch is in the “run” position.
My mouse uses the same serial port.
If your computer has a PS/2 port purchase a DB9 to PS/2 adapter for your mouse.
I get a “verify failed....” message when I upload a map to the Power Commander III.
Programs running in the background or fluctuations in supply voltage (from outlet) can sometimes cause this error. In most cases, the information was sent properly to the Power
Commander III. Pushing the “upload all” button again should produce a “tables sent and verified” message.
I typed in notes, but they didn’t save.
You need to first push the “accept” button in the notes window and then the “save file” button.

Adjusting Your Power Commander
Your Power Commander has been programmed with a base map for your application. You can adjust the base map or install an alternate map using your computer. Please refer to the supplied CD-Rom for more information.
You can also adjust your Power Commander using the face plate buttons as described below.
NOTE: On this model the injectors are powered down shortly after turning the ignition on. To send a map, adjust the throttle position or adjust the buttons you will need to use the Power Adaptor (#66116001 or 76423001).
Plug the power adapter up to the Power Commander. Then plug the 9 pin serial cable to the other side of the power adapter (see figure below).
1. Hold all three buttons down firmly.
2. While holding the buttons down connect the battery to the power up adapter.
3. Release the buttons.
4. Select the range you wish to adjust: Low,
Med, High, by pushing the corresponding button once.
5. At this point holding that button down will move the lights down (leaning out the mixture).
6. Pushing the button repeatedly will move the light up (richening the mixture).
7. When the two center lights are lit up this is the “0” setting.
4 Plug one of the leads from the PCIII in line of the stock connector (Fig. B). Repeat for the left hand side.
