8. Remove a suitable amount of wiring harness insulation as required to access the wiring.

9.

NOTE: Cut only one wire at a time and
stagger each joint to allow easier
installation.

NOTE: The colors of the overlay harness
wires may vary.

NOTE: Vehicles with Adaptive Damping
have six (6) wires; vehicles without Adaptive
Damping have three (3) wires.
Cut the wire on the vehicle harness leading to
cavity one of the height sensor connectors in a
suitable position and remove 10mm of insulation.
(For connector location and pin identification, see
Appendix 1 and refer to the relevant connector in
the relevant Electrical Library).

10.
NOTE: Make sure that the heat shrink is
installed over the wire before crimping the
