According to the spec sheet, the wiring diagram for that part number is Figure 10. The figure shows the two black wires are the solenoid, the green/yellow wire is shield. To use these with the PCM, you just wire up the two black wires to the PCM (red and black for a single channel, polarity doesn't matter), and ignore the green/yellow wire. You'll need to set the PCM to 24V.
