Important: Twisted-pair wires provide an effective "shield" that helps protect
sensitive electronic components from electrical interference. Depending on
application, twisted-pair wires are used on wiring harnesses connecting the
following components:
• | distributor ignition (DI) control module |
• | manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor |
• | powertrain control module (PCM) |
• | vehicle speed sensor (VSS) |
In order to prevent electrical interference from degrading the performance
of the connected components, you must maintain the proper specification when
making any repairs to the twisted-pair wires shown :
• | The wires must be twisted a minimum of nine (9) turns per 30.5 cm (12
in) as measured anywhere along the length of the wires. |
• | The outside diameter of the twisted wires must not exceed 6.0 mm 0.236
in). |
