SUBJECT:
HIGH ALTITUDE VEHICLES
VEHICLES:
ALL 1982 FIAT MODELS
NOTE:
Vehicles to be sold for principal use at a location above 4,000 feet are considered High Altitude Vehicles. These vehicles must be modified prior to first retail sale by the Dealer in order to meet high altitude emission standards.
MODIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Modification of a vehicle set up for high altitude consists of connecting a special connector. Some Stradas are not set up for high altitude and will require additional modifications as described on the attached sheet.
To modify a vehicle set up for high altitude for operation at high altitude, perform the following:
1. Remove the fuel injection electronic control unit (E.C.U.). Check that the Bosch Part No. (on a self-adhesive label)is:
MODEL BOSCH PART NO. FMNA PART NO.
Spider 0.280.000.201 4429200
X1/9 0.280.000.208 5934558
Strada 0.280.000.208 5934558
If Bosch Part No. is not correct, remove ECU and replace it with correct Part No. unit. Correct units are available from your Parts & Accessory
Distribution Center.
2. Locate the two connectors on the wire harness to the control unit. Connect these together.
3. Check and adjust idle speed according to the engine compartment emission label.
4. Affix the vehicle emission control information update label (print No. 3060) next to the emission control label in the engine compartment.
STATEMENT:
This operation will be performed at FMNA expense prior to the first retail sale. Additional changes during the lifetime of the vehicle will be at the vehicle Owner's expense.
To adjust the vehicle after modification for low altitude operation:
^ disconnect the jumper connectors,
^ recheck idle speed,
^ remove the update label.
