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:
• | The engine speed sensor -- see transmission input
speed sensor |
• | The data link connector (DLC) |
• | The electronic brake control module (EBCM) |
• | The powertrain control module (PCM) |
• | The transmission control module (TCM) |
• | The transmission input speed sensor (TISS) |
• | The transmission output speed sensor (TOSS) |
• | The transmission turbine shaft speed (TSS) sensor |
• | The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) -- see transmission
output speed sensor |
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). |
