Disassemble
1. Remove Front Under Panel by removing the seven 8mm hex screws
2. Remove Front bumper. On 11/01 and up models remove the four 8mm hex screws from under the car and one 8mm hex screw in the left and right fender well. Once screws are removed, (six in total) Grab bumper from each side and with a strong quick pull, the bumper should pop off. Disconnect the Fog lights and electrical connector. On 2001 models up to 10/01 there are two large reverse torx bolts that need to be removed from the bottom as well as the 6 8mm screws and then bumper will slide off. It is not necessary to pop it off

Vehicle: 1997 740iL, however, I think this applies to all 95-01.
Symptom: trunk may not stay fully open or may free fall when closing. In my case, the trunk would free fall closed and unless I was holding it carefully, it would slam shut.
The procedure took only about 30 minutes and was very easy. The outcome was excellent making the project well worth it and highly recommended.

The gear indicator comes configured for use with the OEM Suzuki gear position sensor, and is fitted with standard connectors to plug directly into the Suzuki wiring harness. The unit also features the so-called ‘TRE’ modification, which is designed to defeat the gear dependent mapping strategy of the Suzuki ECU. Please refer to the bottom of this document for a description of the TRE function.

Specifications:
· The Lingenfelter Performance Engineering TRG-001 58x to 24x Trigger Conversion Module incorporates ?????????..
· The TRG-001 allows the installation of Gen IV GM V8 engines with the 58x crankshaft trigger wheel and the 4x camshaft timing gear in earlier vehicles designed to accept the 24x crankshaft trigger wheel and the 1x camshaft trigger wheel without having to take the engine apart to change the cam timing gear or the crankshaft reluctor wheel.
· Plug-and-play design connects directly to your existing wiring harness and to the factory engine sensors. No additional wiring for the conversion module is needed (except on early Gen IV V8 engines that will need a camshaft sensor extension harness).
· Fully encapsulated (potted) construction for increased durability.
· Rated for operation at up to 185 degrees F (85 degrees C).

Before testing separate components or systems, perform procedures in the F - BASIC TESTING - TURBO article. Since many computer-controlled and monitored components set a trouble code if they malfunction, also see the G - TESTS W/CODES - TURBO article.
NOTE: Testing individual components does not isolate shorts or opens. Unless stated otherwise in test procedure, perform all voltage tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance. Use ohmmeter to isolate wiring harness shorts or opens.
