INTRODUCTION You have purchased what we at Painless Performance Products believe to be the most up-to-date and easiest-to-install automotive fuel injection harness on the market. It is designed for easy installation, even if you have no electrical experience. This harness is designed to be a complete wiring system for the fuel injection system on General Motors 1999 - 2002 4.8L, 5.3L, &...
ABOUT THESE INSTRUCTIONS These instructions provide information for the installation of the 60217 & 60218 Vortec Fuel Injection Harness Kit. The contents of these instructions are divided into major Sections, as follows: INTRODUCTION ABOUT THESE INSTRUCTIONS TOOLS NEEDED PRE-INSTALLATION AND HARNESS ROUTING GUIDELINES...
4.1.1 If you are using a manual transmission, tape off and store the purple and pink (brake switch) wires, the park neutral position plugs/ wires and the 13-position (transmission) round connector in the tail section. 4.1.2 If you ARE going to use a 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L80E, or 4L85E transmission, you must use the vehicle speed sensor (VSS), transmission connector, park neutral position connectors and correct brake switch.
5.1.1 Connect a ground strap or cable (minimum of a 4 Ga. wire) from the negative battery terminal to the chassis (frame). 5.1.2 Connect a ground strap (minimum of a 4 Ga. wire) from the engine to the chassis (frame). Do not rely upon the motor mounts to make this connection. 5.1.3 Connect a ground strap from the engine to the body.
GM 99 – 02 4.8L, 5.3L & 6.0L VORTEC SYSTEM WIRE HARNESS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CONTENTS OF THE 60217 & 60218 WIRE HARNESS KIT Take inventory to see that you have everything you are supposed to have in this kit, if anything is missing, contact the dealer where you obtained the kit or contact Painless Performance at (800) 423-9696 or (817) 244-6898.
DASH SECTION INSTALLATION Note: If you have not already done so, read sections 4.0 and 5.0 of these instructions and think through the installation of the harness before securing or cutting any wires. The wires in this group consist of the diagnostic link connector (DLC) (SEE FIGURE 6.1), the check engine light (pre-mounted into a mounting bracket), fuel pump relay, emissions devises (optional) and 6 other wires.
5. CANISTER PURGE (not equipped on all models) - The Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) control system is the charcoal canister storage method. This method transfers fuel vapor from the fuel tank to an activated carbon charcoal storage canister, to hold the vapors when the vehicle is not operating. When the engine is operating, the fuel vapor is purged from the carbon element by intake air flow and consumed in the normal combustion process.

FIGURE 6.8 Air Solenoid FIGURE 6.9 Fuel Pump Relay Connector ENGINE GROUP INSTALLATIONS The engine group is designed to be separated into left (driver) and right (passenger) sections. Each side is tie-wrapped separately, BUT NOT LABELED. The left side of the has the connectors for the idle air control, throttle position sensor, mass air flow sensor, and engine coolant sensor, all of which ARE labeled.

DRVR. & PASS COIL (mandatory) - The ignition system on this engine is a multiple coil configuration called coil per plug. The ignition coil mounting bracket is attached to the rocker cover. The secondary ignition wires are short compared to a distributor ignition system wire. See Figure 6.21 & 6.22 ECT (mandatory) - The (PCM) supplies a 5.0 volt signal to the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor through a resistor in the PCM and measures the voltage.
MAP (mandatory) – The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor responds to changes in the intake manifold pressure as a result of engine load and speed. The map sensor converts this to a voltage output. See Figure 6.13 STARTER B+ (mandatory) - These circuits are used to maintain memory in the PCM and provide power to all heavy amp circuits.
FIGURE 6.22 Passenger Side Coil Connector FIGURE 6.23 ECT Sensor Locate the tail section that you earlier separated from the engine group. Begin routing it towards the rear of the vehicle. Be sure to avoid all sharp edges, moving or hot parts, or anything else that may damage the harness.
PNP (optional) – The Transmission Range Switch (PRND) switch is mounted to the side of the transaxle and is part of the Park Neutral Position (PNP) switch. The PRND switch is used by the PCM to indicate the actual gear selected. The PRND is made up of 4 individual switches.
FIGURE 6.26 Transmission Connection FIGURE 6.27 Park Neutral Position Sensor Converting the 4L60E Transmission Connector to a 4L80E Connector *Note: Harness numbers 60217and 60218 have been wired for both the 4L60E and the 4L80E. All harnesses have the transmission connector pre terminated to allow use of the 4L60E transmission. In applications where a 4L80E is to be used, follow this procedure to change your transmission connector to ensure all functions of the transmission work properly.
TROUBLE- SHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS FIGURE 7.1 Fuse Identification THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT Normally, the "check engine" light should come on when the ignition is turned on, and then go out a few moments after the engine starts running. If it reappears, or stays on while the engine is running, the computer has detected a problem and a trouble code has been set.
The PCM is designed to withstand normal current draws associated with vehicle operations. Avoid overloading any circuit. When testing for opens or shorts, do not ground any of the PCM circuits unless instructed. When testing for opens or shorts, do not apply voltage to any of the PCM circuits unless instructed.
