5.3 PCM and Power Steering Pumps
PCM and the power steering pumps must be mounted in close
proximity. The three foot harnesses on the pumps need to reach the
appropriate connectors on the PCM without strain, and they cannot
be extended.
•
We recommend that you use only stainless steel mounting hardware.
• Fasten at all three mounting points.
•
The PCM is designed to fit ¼” or M6 cap screws or machine screws.
Use washers between the screw head and the PCM.
• Through-bolt with nuts and washers on the back the side, or drill
and tap into a metal mounting surface.
• You can also use a #14 wood screw and washer.
