So if you want to hack your controller or build one from scratch your welcome to use the Techworks design and Source Code to do so. It's all free to use you don't have to buy anything.

Drop in Replacement For Existing Mitsubishi 3000gt / Dodge Stealth Factory ECS controller

For all cars prior to 1996 that already have the Mitsubishi 3000gt Factory ECS system, the Tech Works controller can be used as a drop in replacement for your factory Mitsubishi 3000gt OEM ECS controller. It is a direct aftermarket replacement for the Mitsubishi OEM MB629056 part number.

The Tech Works controller uses the existing 3000gt ECS factory wiring harness & front panel Tour/Sport lights & ECS push button Switch. You don't need to add or wire anything. Just unplug the original and plug in the Tech Works Controller

Benefits of the TechWorks 3000gt ECS replacement controller:

o It costs less than the factory Mitsubishi 3000gt ECS unit.

o You have access to the TechWorks on-demand diagnostic mode using your existing ECS push button select switch and the SPORT & TOUR lights for display. For a demonstration see: Tech Works ECS Controller Diagnostic Demo

o Manual Mode: Complete manual control operation - unlike the factory unit. You can user select the struts to Soft , Medium or Hard mode.

o Auto Mode: The new Model 03 Unit has an automated mode that uses an integrated 6 axis accellerometer. In auto mode the techworks ECS controller will automatically adjust the individual stiffness settings of each of the struts depending upon the g-forces the car is experiencing

o Since The TechWorks controller is a completely self contained unit & has it's own integrated accelerometer for auto mode, it does not need & bypasses all the factory Sensors. Quite often it's one of the factory sensors that can cause a malfunction in the OEM system.

o Unique to Techworks: You have access to the MEDIUM hardness mode settings on your struts which is not available as a user selectable mode in the Mitsubishi factory OEM ECS controller.

o The Techworks Model 03 Controller comes with integrated LED status indicator & diagnostic lights .

o You have the option of adding the 4 multi-color remote LED status indicator lights . See the ECS Retrofit descriptions and demonstrations below for more info.

o To use the Renegade Tech Works Controller as replacement for your factory Mitsubishi 3000gt ECS controller is super easy - just unplug and remove your old 3000gt ECS controller and Plug the existing factory wiring harness connectors into the Tech Works controller and you're done.

The Techworks ECS Controller has eight different modes of operation (Link to User Guide)

o Mode 1: Manual Mode: Allows you to manually set and lock the struts into Hard, Medium or Soft stiffness settings

o Mode 2: Auto Mode: Controller will automatically adjust the stiffness of the struts based on G forces being experienced

o Mode 3: Set LED Brightness: Lets you adjust the default LED brightness if you have the add-on led display

o Mode 4: Set Default Startup: Lets you save the current mode (auto or manual) as the default startup mode

o Mode 5: Read Diagnostics: will use the Sport/Tour lights to display any fault conditions that have been detected
