Thermocouple Wiring - BD X-MONITOR Installation Manual

install with this pipe in place. Install the thermocouple into the ¼" pipe plug and
tighten it with an open-ended wrench. We recommend using an anti-seize
compound on the threads of the thermocouple.
Pre-Turbo: The thermocouple can be installed before the turbo by drilling and
tapping a 1/4" NPT port in the exhaust manifold. Special attention is required with
these installations to make sure drilling and tapping are not being done on points
that could cause cracking of the manifold or that debris does not enter the turbo or
engine. It is recommended that the manifold be removed to perform this work. Age
and condition of the manifold should be taken into consideration before performing
this type of installation.

Thermocouple Wiring

Route the thermocouple wire towards the firewall, taking precaution to keep it away
from hot and moving parts, and then pass it through the firewall by piercing a large
rubber grommet in the firewall beside the brake booster canister.
NOTE: Do NOT cut or splice the thermocouple lead wire, as it is special wire
that provides correct reading to the gauge. Simply coil any excess wire out of
the way. If the thermocouple wire is too short, call factory for longer leads.
From under the dash, route the thermocouple to the X-Monitor Control Module.
Install the wires onto the Control Module as shown in the diagram.
CAUTION: DO NOT MIX UP THESE WIRES, ENSURE YELLOW TO YELLOW
AND RED TO RED OR DAMAGE WILL RESULT AND WARRANTY WILL BE
VOIDED.
