INSTALLATION
CAUTION: The original Cab Compartment Node (CCN) and Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must be installed and functioning properly prior to powering up the new Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The TIPM receives vehicle configuration data from the CCN and Vehicle Identification Number information from the PCM. If configuration information becomes lost or corrupted, the data can be obtained from DealerCONNECT
1. Position the TIPM onto the mounting bracket and push down until the mounting clips are fully seated.
2. Position the TIPM positive cable onto the mounting stud and install the retaining nut. Torque nut 9 - 11 Nm (80 - 100 in. lbs.).
3. Connect each of the TIPM wire harness connectors.
4. Remove TIPM cover and fully seat the Airbag fuse holder (two fuses in one yellow carrier). Fully seat the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuses (two fuses in a white/natural carrier).
5. Connect the battery negative cable.
6. Close hood.
