WARNING! Only use Geotab telematics devices with Geotab-approved harnesses acquired from Geotab-authorized channels. Use of non-Geotab harnesses from unauthorized channels can cause serious safety risks, including fire, and can lead to serious personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle.
-
IMPORTANT: Always use a vehicle-specific harness when offered by Geotab or the vehicle manufacturer to avoid possible GO device damage. Some vehicles have multiple diagnostic connectors to choose from when installing a GO device.
-
For more information on Geotab harnesses and adapters, see Harness Identification and Application & Harness Assessment Cheat Sheet GUIDE V2.0
-
If a longer length is required to facilitate installation, connect a straight harness to a T-harness. Ensure that the total harness length does not exceed 2 meters (or 6.5 feet). Any two harnesses that exceed 2 meters may compromise the integrity of the data and cause issues with the vehicle’s Engine Control Unit (ECU).
-
For more details on compliance information and applicable products, contact your Authorized Reseller.

-
Some installations are not straightforward and must be completed by an Authorized Installer to ensure a secure installation.
-
Ensure to use many cable ties to secure both the device and harness to the vehicle. An unsecure device installation can result in poor electric and/or data connections that can lead to short circuits and fires or cause malfunctions of vehicle controls that can result in serious personal injury or significant damage to your vehicle.
-
Some examples requiring professional installation from an Authorized Installer are:
-
The OBD port location is such that the device could protrude or interfere when entering or exiting the vehicle, or located where it can be inadvertently kicked or bumped during vehicle operation. The device isn't fully secured and so may be able to vibrate loose or get kicked or knocked. An electrical harness or additional wiring is required.
-
Vehicle mounting modifications are required to secure the device i.e. removing of panels, or the OBD connector has been deformed/damaged or there is any physical damage visible to the electrical wiring.
-
The device does not power on and beep six times when first installed.
-
The installer questions their ability to complete a secure installation according to these instructions.
-
-
-
Do not attempt to install, reconfigure or remove any product from a vehicle while the vehicle is in motion or otherwise in operation. All installation, configuration or removal must be done only in stationary vehicles which are securely parked.
-
Attempting to service devices while the vehicle is in motion could result in malfunctions or accidents, leading to death or serious personal injury.
-
-
-
Locate the ECM connection point on the driver side of the vehicle.
-
The ECM connector should be located to the left of the steering column.
-
-
-
Using a small flat blade screwdriver, pry up on the locking tabs to release the ECM connector.
-
Pull the 2 connectors apart.
-
-
-
Route the HRN-CL06T4U Harness over the steering column
-
Ensure to avoid moving parts and pinch points.
-
-
-
Connect the HRN-CL06T4U Harness to the ECM connectors.
-
Ensure both connectors lock into place.
-
Secure harness as needed with cable ties!

-
The 3 images show the different variations of fuse panels that you may find in these vehicles.
-
Some fuse panels may have a cover that needs to be removed in order to access the fuse panel, while others may already be open.
-
-
-
Using a multimeter, test the HORN/LPS fuse to ensure constant power is available.
-
Remove the HORN/LPS fuse.
-
Place the removed HORN/LPS fuse into the add-a-circuit fuse tap.
-
-
-
Connect the GO Device to the female 16-pin connector on the HRN-CL06T4U Harness.
-
Secure the connection with a cable tie.
-
-
-
Mount the GO device with the bottom of the device facing away from the metal bracket as shown.
-
Secure the GO device to the vehicle using 2 cable ties.
-
Trim any excess cable tie using flush cutters.
-
-
-
Start the vehicle
-
-
-
Secure the harness using cable ties to ensure there is no obstruction to the driver, and that the harness does not come into contact with any moving parts.
-
Ensure the harness does not obstruct the operation of the parking brake.
-
-
-
All in-vehicle devices and related cabling must be securely fastened and kept clear of all vehicle controls, airbags, and gas, brake and clutch pedals.
-
This requires the use of a cable tie when securing the device or any extension harness to the OBD connector, securing both sides of the harness. If you do not use a cable tie, vibration in the vehicle can lead to a loose connection which could cause the vehicle’s engine computer to fail, causing potential loss of vehicle control and serious injury.
-
Inspect devices and cabling regularly to ensure all devices and cabling continue to be securely attached.
-
If at any point after an in-vehicle device is installed a warning light illuminates on the vehicle dash or the vehicle stalls or has a marked drop in performance, shut off the engine, remove the device, and contact your reseller. Continuing to operate a vehicle with these symptoms can cause loss of vehicle control, and serious injury.

Your in-vehicle devices must be kept clear of debris, water and other environmental contaminants. Failure to do so may result in units malfunctioning or short-circuiting, which can lead to a fire hazard and cause loss or serious injury.
-
Do not attempt to remove the devices from the vehicle in which they are originally installed for installation in another vehicle.
-
Not all vehicles share compatibility, and doing so may result in unexpected interactions with your vehicle, including sudden loss of power or shutdown of the vehicle’s engine while in operation or cause your vehicle to operate poorly or erratically and cause serious injury and/or vehicle damage.
