Testing The TORQLOC (with an exhaust brake) 

With the module pulled out enough to be easily visible while driving, take the vehicle 
for a drive.  Turn the brake on and first check that the LED light comes on once the 
vehicle has surpassed the set speed. On some Ford trucks the LED will only come 
on  above  the  set  speed  when  the  throttle  is  returned  to  idle.  If  the  LED  fails  to 
illuminate after the set speed, check the dip-switch settings, the VSS wire color and 
the connection to that wire, the wire is on the right terminal at the module, and make 
sure there is a good power source and ground for the module. 
  
With  no  traffic  around,  turn  on  the  exhaust  brake  then  cruise  at  a  constant  speed 
above the set speed on the module, then let off the throttle.  The brake should have 
activated  and  you  should  feel  the  hold  back.    Turn  the  brake  off  to  make  sure  the 
brake  and  lock-up  clutch  disengages.    Turn  the  brake  on  and  cruise  again  at  a 
constant speed, then let off the throttle and let the vehicle slow down below the set 
speed,  making  sure  the  lock-up  releases  below  the  set  speed.    If  these  situations 
fail  to  occur,  then  check  the  wiring  to  the  brake  and  module,  and  check  terminal 
locations on the module. 
 
On  Dodges,  after  starting  up  the  truck  and  starting  drive,  the  O/D  off  light  should 
have  illuminated  (if  that  option  was  hooked  up).    With  the  brake  turned  on,  drive 
until overdrive is reached then let off the throttle.  With the brake and lock-up clutch 
engaged, push the overdrive button to check that the lock-up clutch disengages and 
the  transmission  shifts  out  of  overdrive.    If  this  fails  to  occur,  check  the  O/D  wire 
color  and  connection  to  that  wire,  and  that  the  wire  is  on  the  right  terminal  at  the 
module. 
 
If any of the functions still fail to occur, phone our technical service department for 
further assistance.  If it is necessary to bypass the Torqloc, disconnect the Blue and 
Yellow Torqloc wires from the factory TCC wire which was cut to install the Torqloc 
& reconnect the factory wires back together. 
 
After  final  wiring  and  testing  has  been  done  on  the  vehicle,  mark  the  label  on  the 
module  for  the  application  (vehicle  and  kit  part  number).    Secure  module  to  a 
harness or bracket under dash with tie wraps.
