Fitting the wiring harness
When fitting the harness on the vehicle, you should observe the
following:
•
Start by attaching the harness to the Display Module by
connecting the 19-way military connector.
•
Position the ends of all the wires at the locations of the
sensors, lamps and switches to which each is to be
connected, but do not connect them yet.
•
All wires should be routed as far as possible and not closer
than 2” from ignition coil and spark plug wire and
distributor caps and any other sources of high voltages.
•
When you pass any wire through a bulkhead or dashboard,
fit a cable grommet or gland into the hole so that the edge of
the hole cannot chafe the wire.
•
Particular care is needed when passing wires through holes
in carbon fiber, as the carbon can cut through cables very
easily.
•
The heatshrink sleeving around the sensor cables can be cut
back, if necessary, to enable the sensor cables to go in
separate directions earlier. It is recommended that you
always leave at least 6” of heatshrink sleeving to provide
additional strain relief for the cable where it enters the 19-
way connector.
•
Connect the wires when all the sensors are in position and
you have secured the wiring harness.
Wiring labels
See Chapter 2 if you need to check the labels used to identify
the individual cables in the wiring harness
Checks and Alarms
You should check the system to ensure that all the sensors are
detecting the correct values. You should also run the engine at its
operational levels to check that the values displayed by the
Display System are accurate. You should then check out the
alarm systems to ensure that they are functioning correctly
before going out for a test drive.
