SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note
Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component,
with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note
Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use
the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J-38125 Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the
DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note
You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with
all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
*
Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
*
Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
