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:
• | data link connector (DLC) |
• | electronic brake control module (EBCM) |
• | powertrain control module (PCM). |
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 12 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). |
