Page 4: Section 1.4 Connections
The main transmission connector varies depending on the transmission model you are working with. Verify the connector and wiring diagram match your transmission prior to beginning the installation. PCS harnesses connect all of the internal transmission solenoids, sensor switches that the TCM requires to control the transmission. - Page 5 PCS TCM2800 Quick Start Guide RPM Wires (unterminated) There are 2 wires in the harness that are used for the RPM input. There Orange and Black for the RPM signal and the Black and White for RPM Ground. This signal will need to be configured. This wire is not required for operation of your TCM-2800 unit but it is recommended to offer comprehensive diagnostic capabilities.
- Page 6 Powertrain Control Solutions The “Speed Input Filter Values” settings filters will assist in receiving a stable signal. Reference Figure 7. Figure 7: Speed Input Filter Values CAL A/B Wire This single wire is one of the unterminated digital inputs that can be used to enable a secondary calibration, Such as Sport mode.
