Default Is there a way to quickly test vafc2?

Hi,
I just recently purchased a vafc2 and Im going on vacation and wont have time to install it before. So I was wondering if there's a way I can quickly test it to make sure it works?

Any input is appreciated!
Thanks

You could put a power and neg. to it and see if it lights up. Other then that you have to have it on car.

The best way to check those is throw it as high in the air as u can and c how high it bounces when it hits the ground, lol. Those things r garbage and I don't condone using them and for the price u can buy one new u could have bought a chipped ecu or chipped urs and tuned it.

He didnt ask for an opinion on his purchase. If he did I would give him a ear full about VAFC's on honda's.

If theres 2 neg and 2 pos then hook the 2 pos to power of the batt and 2 neg to the negative on the batt. All your doing is giving the VAFC power to turn on. Your not testing the features. 1 should be a constant power to keep memory and ones a power to power the system.
