Dear Customer,
Your new Banks SpeedBrake
is a uniquely designed braking
system with electronic controls,
designed to achieve the optimum
level of braking from your
vehicle’s engine.
If you have any questions
concerning the installation
of your Banks SpeedBrake
System, please call our
Technical Service Hotline
at (888) 839-2700 between
7:00am and 5:00pm (PST). If you
have any questions relating
to shipping or billing, please
contact our Customer Service
Department at (888) 839-5600.
Thank you.
1. Before starting work, familiarize
yourself with the installation procedure
by reading all of the instructions.
2. The exploded views provide only
general guidance. Refer to each step
and section diagram in this manual for
proper instruction.
3. Throughout this manual, the
left side of the vehicle refers to the
driver side, and the right side to the
passenger side.
4. Disconnect the negative (ground)
cable from the battery (or batteries, if
there are two) before beginning work.
5. Route and tie wires and hoses a
minimum of 6” away from exhaust
heat, moving parts and sharp
edges. Clearance of 8” or more is
recommended where possible.
6. When raising the vehicle, support
it on properly weight-rated safety
stands, ramps or a commercial hoist.
Follow the manufacturer’s safety
precautions. Take care to balance the
vehicle to prevent it from slipping or
falling. When using ramps, be sure the
front wheels are centered squarely on
the topsides. When raising the front
of the vehicle, put the transmission in
park (automatic) or reverse (manual),
set the parking brake, and block the
rear wheels. When raising the back of
the vehicle, be sure the vehicle is on
level ground and the front wheels are
blocked securely.
CAUTION: Do not use floor jacks to
support the vehicle while working
under it. Do not raise the vehicle
onto concrete blocks, masonry
or any other item not intended
specifically for this use.
7. During installation, keep the work
area clean. Do not allow anything to
be dropped into intake, exhaust, or
lubrication system components while
performing the installation, as foreign
objects will cause immediate engine
damage upon start-up.
8. Save this Installation Manual as a
reference for system maintenance and
service.

INSTALLATION OF BANKS SPEEDBRAKE WIRE HARNESS
Figure 1 Banks SpeedBrake and supplied wiring harness
97227 v.7.0 7
1. Before beginning the SpeedBrake
installation, locate The Palm Tungsten
E2 Power PDA in your kit. It will need
to be charged for a minimum of one
hour before the unit will function.
Charge the unit with the supplied
AC-outlet wall charger. The unit will be
fully charged in one to two hours.
2. Disconnect the negative (ground)
cable from the battery (or batteries, if
there are two) before beginning work.
Secure the cables so that they do not
come in contact with the battery posts
during the installation.
3. Locate the Banks SpeedBrake wire
harness in your kit. Start By placing
the wire harness near the under hood
fuse box. Run the Main transmission
intercepting connector wire harness
on the SpeedBrake wire harness down
to the transmission following the
factory transmission main connector
harness from the transmission control
module.
4. On the right side of the
transmission locate the transmission
main connector. See Figure 2.
Disconnect the connector by applying
pressure on both sides and pull out.
5. Insert the female connector on
the SpeedBrake wire harness into the
transmission connector. Insert the
factory main transmission connector
to the male connector on the
SpeedBrake wire harness.
NOTE: When installing the male
connector to the transmission orient
the arrow on the connector up.

6. Secure the wire harness using
some of the supplied cable ties along
the factory wire harness up the left
side of the engine to the Fuse box.
7. Remove the Driver side Cowl
support Brace and retain hardware for
reuse. See Figure 3.
8. Remove the fuse box cover to
access the fuses on the electrical
center and set aside.
9. Remove the fuse box assembly
cover by expanding the fuse box out
towards the engine side and lifting up,
exposing the fuse electrical center.
See Figure 4.
10. Push out on the tab closest to
the fender and the two locking tabs
on the side of the electrical center
and lift up to gain access to the C100
Connector. Disconnect the C100
Connector. See Figure 5.
11. Install the ground ring terminal
on the SpeedBrake wire harness onto
the bolt on the bottom of the electrical
center closest to the fire wall. See
Figure 5.
12. Insert the male C100 connector
on the SpeedBrake wire harness to the
female C100 factory connector. Insert
the female C100 connector on the
SpeedBrake wire harness to the male
C100 factory connector.
Figure 5
10 97227 v.7.0
13. Position the electrical center back
in place until the tabs snap into place.
NOTE: adjust the C100 connection
under the electrical center to have
sufficient room to lock the electrical
center back in place. Run the wire
harness out to the firewall side of the
fuse brace. See Figure 6.
14. Locate mini-fuse for the Body
Control Module (TBC IGN1) and remove
it. See Figure 7.
15. Install the mini-blade fuse tap
onto the removed mini fuse as shown
in Figure 8. Re-install the mini fuse
with the attached blade tap into the
fuse box.
NOTE: install the fuse tap in the
Body Control Module (TBC IGN1) spot
closest to the firewall. This is the “hot”
side of the circuit. See Figure 7.
16. Locate the fuse connector wire
on the SpeedBrake wiring harness and
connect it to the mini-blade fuse tap.
Replace the fuse box assembly cover
and make sure not to pinch the fuse
connector wire.
17. Replace the fuse box cover.
18. Locate the black wire harness
locking connectors between the brake
fluid reservoir and the air conditioning
compressor. Lift the gray connector
locks and disconnect the 24-pin
connector pair. See Figure 9.
