6.5.1Wiring Guidelines

Before installing cables between the computer and other devices, consider the following:

Ensure the vehicle body and underlying wiring is not damaged while drilling mounting holes.

Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.

Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.

Use plastic straps and tie-downs to secure cables and connectors in their desired loca- tion, away from areas where they may get snagged or pulled.

Keep the cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid, and other potential hazards.

Keep the cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may pull on the cables or interfere with the operation of the vehicle.

Leave enough slack on the cables so that the computer can be removed easily for maintenance.
