1.0 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 1996-2000 7.4 engines. Also, to control the 4L80E automatic transmission using the 1996-1997 computer Service #16229684 and #16244210.
3.0 TOOLS NEEDED In addition to your regular tools, you will need, at least, the following: Crimping tool Wire stripper Continuity tester NOTE: USE A QUALITY TOOL TO AVOID OVER-CRIMPING. CAUTION: DO NOT USE A TEST LIGHT TO TEST THE COMPUTER OR SENSOR WIRING OR YOU WILL DAMAGE THE COMPUTER. Electric drill 1 5/8" Hole saw (for the rubber grommet in the firewall) 4.
4.2.6 Route the harness away from sharp edges, exhaust pipes, and the hood, trunk and door hinges. 4.2.7 Plan where harness supports will be located. Use a support approximately every 6 inches unless the harness routes under the floor carpet. 4.2.8 Allow enough slack in the harness at places where movement could possibly occur (body to frame, frame to engine, etc.). 4.2.9 The wires should be bundled into harness groups. Use tape, nylon ties or poly split loom. (96-00) Vortec 7.
5.1 GROUNDING THE VEHICLE A perfectly and beautifully wired automobile will never the less have problems if everything is not properly grounded. Don't go to the effort to installing a quality wire harness only to neglect proper grounding. Note: The installer of this harness is responsible for all ground wires not provided with this part. 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.
5.4.4 Strip insulation away from wire. Only strip as much insulation off as necessary for the type of terminal lug you are using. Note: In the following step, make sure that the terminal is crimped with proper die in the crimping tool. An improper crimp will not make a good connection. DO NOT OVER-CRIMP. 5.4.5 Crimp the terminal onto the wire. 5.4.6 Connecting the wires and connectors throughout the harness is a simple process. Make sure that each wire is properly routed and then attached.
A. Find a suitable location to mount the DLC connector (using the bracket that the light is mounted in) that will allow access to the front of the connector and still allow you to see the light while driving. B. Mount the DLC connector using the bracket containing the check engine light in the place selected. C. Locate the white ignition hot activation wire, labeled FUSE BLOCK IGNITION (18 Ga.) and attach it to a 12V fused power source where there is power WHEN THE KEY IS IN THE START AND RUN POSITION.
F. If your vehicle has a pressure type brake switch, you may use a relay as shown in Figure 6.3. The relay must be a SPDT Relay and wired correctly or it could result in a dangerous situation with the vehicle. The torque converter may not unlock. G. The wire labeled FUEL TEST is a test point for the fuel pump. After the vehicle has been wired and tested OK, tape off this wire and store it in the harness. H. The wire labeled TACH (white) is the signal wire for a tachometer if used. I.

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. 6.4.2 If you are using the 4L80E transmission, route the 13-position connector to the transmission and attach it.
FIGURE 6.19 7.0 A/T Input Speed & VSS Sensor, Transmission Connection (4L80E) TROUBLE- SHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS If you are having trouble with your engine running badly or not running at all, first perform basic trouble-shooting (ensure that you are using the correct parts (Table 4.1), check for faulty connections, blown fuses, spark, timing, fuel pressure, etc.), then see if the computer has stored a trouble code in its memory. FIGURE 6.20 Fuse Identification 7.
7.2 RETRIEVING TROUBLE CODES FROM THE COMPUTER 7.2.1 7.2.2 7.2.3 Note: BAD. In order to retrieve the trouble codes stored in the computer, a scanner must be connected to the Assembly Diagnostic Link (DLC) connector (installed and connected in Paragraph 6.2.1). Follow the instructions provided with the scanner to read the codes set in the computer. After you have read any codes, write them down for reference. Remove the connector from the DLC connector.
