epending on your vehicle type, it may be necessary to drill a hole to route the
sensor wires. Before you drill a hole you MUST CHECK WHAT IS BEHIND THE DRILLING
LOCATION. If there are any vehicle components, like electrical parts or fuel system
components, behind the drilling location, you must take precaution not to damage them.
Route the wires from the sensors to the controller. Some vehicles may have a hole to route the 15.

If you need to drill holes, use a half inch (1/216.

grommets in the holes. You must use the grommets to prevent the edge of the hole from damaging
the sensor wires.
Insert the sensor wires through the grommets and route them to the controller.17.
Plug the sensor wires into the contr
