Installing Main Wire Harness Section For Tyre Pressure Monitoring

Information 

Choose a place for the joint where there is enough space for connecting all the individual lines.

Do not cut the lines too short in case they have to be laid in a different position if there is insufficient space in the area of the joint.

Information 

The greatest care must be used in the individual work steps for stripping insulation from, crimping, and shrinking/insulating the electric lines.

The procedure for stripping insulation from, crimping, and shrinking/insulating the electric lines must be complied with and observed. The procedures are described in detail in the > VAS 1978/35-20 - Release Tool Set  .

Crimping samples must be prepared before beginning work.
