Procedures

Magnetic Pickup Adjustment adjustment

⚠ Jam nut over-torque will damage the magnetic pickup.

Tools: feeler gauge, torque wrench

Ensure a ring gear tooth is centered under the magnetic pickup hole. Rotate flywheel if necessary.
Screw the magnetic pickup in until it contacts the targeted gear tooth. Do not use excessive pressure.
Back the magnetic pickup out (counterclockwise) 1/2 to 3/4 turn.
If a feeler gauge can be inserted between the magnetic pickup and the flywheel ring gear tooth, back the magnetic pickup out 0.71 to 1.07 mm [0.028 to 0.042 in.] from the gear tooth.
Tighten the jam nut on the flywheel housing. While holding the magnetic pickup, torque the jam nut to 34-47 N-m [25-35 ft-lb].

Connect the appropriate datalink cable to the INLINE™5 datalink adapter, Part Number 3165033.
Connect the other end of the datalink cable to the vehicle cab or engine compartment datalink connector.
Launch the electronic service tool application software.

Keyed Connector Backshell Assembly installation

Tools: Wire Strippers, Standard Screwdriver, Terminal Crimp Tool

Position the connector grommet seal on the backside of the connector.
Strip 4.3 to 5.1 millimeters (0.17 to 0.20 inches) of insulation from the ends of the wire harness conductors.
Using the appropriate terminal crimping apparatus, crimp the connector terminals onto the stripped, bare ends of the wire harness conductors. Use a crimp tool with frame style M22520/2-01 per MIL-C-22
Once all conductors to be used are crimped onto connector terminals, insert each terminal into the correct cavity of the connector.
The grommet seal must have a sealing plug inserted in the unpopulated cavity positions.
