Important: Twisted-pair wires provide an effective shield that helps protect sensitive
electronic components from electrical interference. Depending on application,
twisted-pair wires may be used on wiring harnesses connecting the following
components:
| • | Data Link Connector (DLC) |
| • | Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) |
| • | Powertrain Control Module (PCM) |
| • | Transmission Control Module (TCM) |
| • | 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 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 mm
(0.236 in). |
