Power Distribution Center (PDC) - Installation

INSTALLATION





The Power Distribution Center (PDC) is serviced as a unit with the body wire harness. If any internal circuit of the PDC or the PDC housing is faulty or damaged, the entire PDC and body wire harness unit must be replaced.

NOTE: If the power distribution center (PDC) is being replaced with a new unit, be certain to transfer each of the fuses and relays from the old PDC to the proper cavities of the new PDC.

For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, further details on wire harness routing and retention, as well as pin-out and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

1. Position the PDC in position in the engine compartment.
2. Route the engine compartment wire harness from the PDC through the engine compartment, engaging each of the harness retainers to the mounting provisions in the vehicle body and chassis components.
3. Install and tighten the fasteners that secure each of the body wire harness ground eyelets to the vehicle body and chassis components.
4. Reconnect each of the engine compartment wire harness connectors.
5. Torque nut retaining positive battery cable at PDC to 96 - 141 Nm (85 - 130 in. lbs.).
6. Reconnect the battery negative remote cable.
