repair any HV wiring, connector, or terminal that is damaged. High voltage coaxial type cables are not repairable. Never attempt to repair a coaxial type
cable. The entire cable/harness or component must be replaced. In order to maintain system integrity and personal safety, never attempt to repair any
high voltage wiring, cables, or terminals. Performing this procedure on high voltage circuits may result in serious injury or death.
If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the
faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics) and follow the instruction to repair the wire.

Special Tools
J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive
nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS, and the wiring components, such as connectors
and terminals.
Note: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals. Use either an SIR/SRS pigtail or a terminated lead
from the SIR Repair Kit Tray.
The tool kit J-38125 contains the following items:
*
DuraSeal splice sleeves, in order to repair the SIR/SRS wiring
*
A special crimping tool
*
A heat torch
*
An instruction manual
The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
*
A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside.
*
A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides the necessary low resistance contact integrity for these sensitive, low energy circuits.
The J-38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
*
A large sampling of common electrical terminals
*
The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
*
The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector Repair (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin)
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made with a special plating. This plating provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy
