For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and Equipment).
Note: All repairs near the engine manifold, turbo engine and all exhaust pipes should follow the High Temperature Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/High Temperature Wiring Repairs)
procedures.
Terminated leads are terminals that are crimped onto wires. The terminated lead can be used throughout the vehicle since it is designed for temperatures
up to 150°C. The length of the wire is 450 mm.
The DuraSeal splice sleeve has the following 2 critical features:
*
A special heat shrink tubing that environmentally seals the splice. The shrink tubing contains a sealing adhesive inside the shrink tubing.
*
A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp that provides the necessary contact integrity for sensitive low energy circuits.
1. Use the connector end view to identify the correct terminated lead.
2. The terminated lead package should include a DuraSeal splice sleeve. If not, use the chart to identify the correct part.
3. Open the harness by removing any tape:
Use a sewing seam ripper, or a comparable tool, to cut open the harness, to avoid wire insulation damage.
4. Depending on how many terminals need repairs, cut the terminal and wire back at least 40 mm. Try to keep the harness wire length the same.
If more than one terminated lead is required, stagger the lengths by 40 mm. This helps reduce the bundle size of the wire harness.
5. Use the EL-38125-10 - tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp tool
has four nests, one for each color.
