SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
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 system wiring, and the wiring
components (such as connectors and terminals).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the
terminal package.
The tool kit J-38125 contains the following items:
-
Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring
-
A wire stripping tool
-
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 necessary contact integrity for the 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 (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR
Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector
repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the duraseal splice sleeves. Use the duraseal splice
sleeves in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices
from the J-38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices.
