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) |
• | Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS) |
• | Transmission Control Module (TCM) |
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). |
