Terraza FWD V6-3.5L VIN L (2006)
5. Insert the J 38125-553 (GM P/N 15315247) on a slight upward angle into the cavity below the terminal to be removed. Ensure that the pointed on
the end of the tool is facing the bottom of the terminal and it stays in contact with the terminal until it stops on the plastic terminal retainer. See the
release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
6. Gently pry the plastic terminal retainer down and carefully pull the terminal out of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is difficult to remove, repeat the entire procedure.
TERMINAL REPAIR PROCEDURE
Use the appropriate terminal and follow the instructions in the J-38125 .

CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short
or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types of circuit
breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker: This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause
of the high current is still present, it will open again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high
current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker: This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively
open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the
voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
