CRUISE CONTROL

MAGNET KIT
INSTALLATION MANUAL
MAGNET AND SPEED SENSOR INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)
The magnets, along with the speed sensor provide distance pulses to the cruise control. When the drive shaft
spins, the magnets attached to it move by the speed sensor coil. This generates electrical pulses which are
counted by the cruise control.
MAGNET LOCATION:
Rear wheel drive vehicles: Magnet location is not to exceed 12 inches (30 cm) from the front (transmission end)
universal joint, or damage may result from the side-to-side, or up and down movement of the drive shaft. See
Figure 7.1.
If this is not possible the magnets can be mounted on the drive shaft not more than 12 inches (30 cm) from the
rear universal joint. If this location is chosen, the Speedsensor bracket must be connected to a bolt on the
differential. Be sure the magnet location is within reach of the bracket and sensor. See Figure 7.2.
Front wheel drive vehicles: Select either the right or left hub near the transmission housing. Select the hub with
the best accessibility and insure there is adequate clearance for the magnets. See figures 7.7 and 7.8.
NOTICE: It is important to keep the magnets as close as possible to the stationary universal joint, but at the
same time, keep magnets away from the catalytic converter and exhaust pipe.
Step 1: Clean the magnet mounting location. Use coarse sandpaper or a wire brush. Complete by wiping with
a rag soaked in solvent.
Step 2: Using Figure 7.12 select the number of magnets to be used.
Step 3: Cut a 2" strip of paper approximately 11" long. Wrap this strip around the drive shaft and mark paper
as shown in Figure 7.4. This will give you the total distance around the drive shaft (circumference). Cut the
strip at this mark.
Step 4: Measure length of the strip and divide this number by the number of magnets your vehicle requires.
Mark these locations on the strip. These are the center lines for the magnets.
