The (red) power wire of the SM should be connected to IGN in the fusebox (or a switched power source). The notch in the chip faces away from the middle of the board. MAKE SURE you put the new chip in the correct direction! You can use a small flathead screwdriver to pry the old chip up & out carefully. Remove old chip & replace with new version 2.2 (40 pin) chip.open up the scanmaster using a small phillips screwdriver.included with the powerlogger is a new chip for the original (rectangle box shaped) scanmaster.(Scanmaster G users can skip this section) The Powerlogger simply plugs into the ECM, of which a slight modification of the ECM case is necessary, but it’s very easy to do, as we show you below.

The Powerlogger is the most advanced datalogging scantool available today for the 86/87 Turbo Buicks and 89 TTA’s.

The Powerlogger comes with a new chip to update your existing (original square box unit) Scanmaster version 2.1 to the 2.2 version (required for using PL), so the Scanmaster can be connected to the Powerlogger for faster updating (way faster), quicker wideband O2 readings and boost display, amongst others. This is one of those items that’s been on our “to get list” for awhile, and now it’s time to install it in the Buick Grand National. That’s the only real way to see ALL of the data all at one time, comparing for example, what your fuel pressure, boost level, and O2 is doing, at any given RPM (or throughout the entire RPM band that you ran, by scrolling thru the recording). With the Powerlogger, you can see all of the different inputs at all of the different RPM ranges, in a frame by frame viewing on the (recorded) Powerlogger screens. Your Scanmaster can show you some of the info, but you’d have to watch all the separate specs throughout the entire power band. If you’re seeking to record logs for your Turbo Buick, or want to see exactly what your engine is doing at any given RPM, the only way with a factory stock ECM is to use a Powerlogger.
