Do not proceed until process has been complied with. OPERATOR SAFETY: Use caution to avoid risk of injury CRITICAL PROCESS: Proceed with caution to ensure a quality installation. GENERAL PROCESS: This highlights specific processes to ensure a quality installation. TOOLS & EQUIPMENT: This calls out the specific tools and equipment required for this process WARNING: DO NOT USE HAND-HELD 2-WAY TRANSCEIVERS INSIDE YOUR VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. WHEN TRANSMITTING FROM INSIDE THE CAR, 2-WAY RADIOS THAT OPERATE IN THE 25MHZ-700MHZ FREQUENCY RANGE WITH MORE THAN 2.0 WATTS OF POWER CAN PRODUCE ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE THAT COULD INTERFERE WITH THE OPERATION OF CRUISE AND THROTTLE CONTROLS RESULTING IN VEHICLE "LIMP MODE". USE OF CELLULAR PHONES WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH THESE CONTROLS. DUE TO SENSITIVE NATURE OF SIGNALS USED FOR THIS PRODUCT, ALL NON-PLUG AND PLAY CONNECTIONS MUST BE SOLDERED. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS REQUIREMENT WILL VOID WARRANTY.

Pre-Installation Suggestions 1. It is advisable to disconnect the negative battery cable for 3 minutes before beginning installation, to avoid unintended air bag deployment. Note and record any anti-theft radio codes prior to disconnecting. Figure 1 2. Remove driver side lower dash panel, kick panel, steering wheel shroud, and instrument cluster panel. Figure 2 Figure 1 B. Install Electronic Module 1. Plug in the Main Wiring Harness, Switch Harness, and Pedal Interface Harness onto mating connectors of the Cruise Control Module. Figure 3 2. Place the Cruise Control Module in the secure location behind the driver side dash area near the firewall away from moving parts. 3. Route the Pedal Interface Harness through steering column and down to the accelerator.

Use the diagram and chart below to install the pedal interface harness. Disconnect the Pedal Interface Harness at the 2-pin connectors to ease installation of solder connections. Cut the selected wires at the accelerator harness leaving at least 2 inches of harness from the connector. Solder the wire ends from the pedal interface harness to the accelerator pedal harness according to each wire color listed in chart. After soldering, wrap the exposed wires with electrical tape. Figure 4. WARNING: PROCEED WITH CAUTION TO BE SURE PEDAL INTERFACE HARNESS IS MATED PROPERLY TO THE ACCELERATOR HARNESS. FAILURE TO DO THIS CORRECTLY WILL DISABLE THE ACCELERATOR. : Solder Joint Connector Side Harness Side Red Yellow White Green Figure 4 TITAN CONNECTIONS FRONTIER CONNECTIONS Splice & Solder Direction Cruise Harness Color Vehicle Wire Splice & Solder Direction Cruise Harness Color Vehicle Wire CONNECTOR RED GREEN/RED CONNECTOR RED GRAY CONNECTOR WHITE BROWN/WHITE CONNECTOR WHITE RED HARNESS YELLOW GREEN/RED HARNESS YELLOW GRAY HARNESS GREEN BROWN/WHITE HARNESS GREEN RED Form #5222, Rev: E, 09-30-10 2008-2011 NISSAN TRUCKS AUTOMATIC & MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL KIT PART NUMBER: 250-1856 2. Check for good solder connection: Before continuing cruise installation, plug the 2-pin mating connectors in to each other as shown in Figure 5. Reconnect negative side of battery. Start engine and depress accelerator to confirm operation. Turn off engine and disconnect battery. 2-pin Red/White Harness To Pedal Harness a. If a DTC code appears, restart Section C and ensure proper wire matching and good solder connections. ACCEL PEDAL YEL RED GRN WHT 3. Unplug the 2-pin mating connectors from each other (connected together in the last step) and reconnect to the 2-pin mating connectors of Pedal Interface Harness. Use electrical tape to wrap all connections. Figure 5 D. Wiring Connections (See Wiring Harness Description on last page) 1.
