Repairs to Twisted Wires

The number of twists or turns of twisted pair wires is important to the functionality of the vehicle systems and as such must be maintained during a repair.

It is important to make sure that the number of turns over the repair length is counted at the start of the repair and the same number of turns reintroduced before fitting the terminals into the connector. If the original number of turns cannot be reintroduced on a Controller Area Network (CAN), the maximum length of 150mm of untwisted wire must not be exceeded.
