A two layer wire - 1 and 2 - with a 0.35 mm 2 profile is used as a FlexRay wire.
• During repair work, both wires must have the same length.
• When twisting the wires - 1 and 2 - together, the - A - = 30 mm routing length must be maintained.
• While doing so, no section of wire may be greater than - B - = 30 mm without twisting the wires, for example, in the area of crimp connectors - arrow -.
• Maximum exposed wire length: 100 mm.
• Protect the area being repairs from the environment. Use a crimp connector with heat-shrinkable tube over the untwisted location being repairs and waterproof insulation over the exposed wire.
