 This used to be a popular swap for a while back when the EVOs were new.  The interest seemed to die down a bit as guys started playing around with ECUFlash and EVOScan. ​ But for some reason, we're getting more and more requests for this information lately. This used to be a popular swap for a while back when the EVOs were new.  The interest seemed to die down a bit as guys started playing around with ECUFlash and EVOScan. ​ But for some reason, we're getting more and more requests for this information lately.

 37 Cut this wire.  It provides the ECU with a power steering pressure switch indication. ​ This is used to raise idle when you turn the steering wheel. ​ But it causes more problems than anything else when running a 2G DSM ECU.  Just cut it.  It's not needed. ​ I have no dips in idle when turning my steering wheel with this wire cut. 37 Cut this wire.  It provides the ECU with a power steering pressure switch indication. ​ This is used to raise idle when you turn the steering wheel. ​ But it causes more problems than anything else when running a 2G DSM ECU.  Just cut it.  It's not needed. ​ I have no dips in idle when turning my steering wheel with this wire cut.

 You may also find that having the power steering pump signal connected to the ECU can cause crazy ramps up in idle too.  To "work around"​ that, simply disconnect the wire leading to the pressure sensor on the power steering pump.  That way the ECU will simply never "​see"​ this signal and won't respond to it. You may also find that having the power steering pump signal connected to the ECU can cause crazy ramps up in idle too.  To "work around"​ that, simply disconnect the wire leading to the pressure sensor on the power steering pump.  That way the ECU will simply never "​see"​ this signal and won't respond to it.
