Totally Integrated Power Module: Installing

CAUTION:

The original Cab Compartment Node and Powertrain Control Module must be installed and functioning properly prior to powering up the new 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 through the StarSCAN.

-- Position the TIPM into the engine compartment.
