Haltech IQ3 Dash Programming
Thank you for purchasing a Haltech IQ3 dash. Your dash is preconfigured by Haltech with some default values which you
can customize at any time. This guide provides information on further programming your dash past the default ‘out of
box’ configuration.
For Platinum ECUs: Ensure your ECU is running firmware version 1.12 or later and CAN Mode is set to ‘Haltech CAN
(Version 2)’. See the final page of this document for more information.
For Elite ECUs: Ensure your ECU has the ‘Haltech CAN Supported Dash’function enabled. See the final page of this
document for more information.
It is important you follow these steps to download the dash configuration file so you can begin editing it.
1) Connect the IQ3 dash to your Haltech ECU using the provided CAN cable and power up the ECU.
2) Open the RacePak Datalink II Software after downloading and installing the latest version from the RacePak
website: http://racepak.com/downloads/
3) Connect the IQ3 dash to your laptop via the supplied Serial to USB adaptor and cable.
4) Open the File menu, choose ‘Open Car Configuration’ and select:
a. Display Dashes - ‘IQ3_NonLogger_Config’
b. Logger Dashes –‘IQ3_Config_Metric’
5) From the Settings menu, choose ‘Scan COM Ports’.
The software will scan for the dash. When Successful, click ‘OK’. NOTE: If unsuccessful, please check all
connections and repeat steps 1 –5.
6) Click ‘Read’ from the left Toolbar. You may receive a notification about configuration files, choose the 2nd option
to ignore and continue.
7) In the information box that may appear, click ‘Yes’ to remove the channel and continue.
8) Once successful, save the configuration by choosing File, then ‘Save As’. Name your configuration file so you can
easily find it later.
9) Make this configuration file your default by clicking the File menu then ‘Default Configuration’.
Now we have our base config from our Dash, we can now configure the dash to display parameters from the ECU.
