Connector Position Assurance Locks
Connector Position Assurance Locks
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors
throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You
must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of the connector.
