15. Gradually move the heat from the center to the open end of the tubing:
*
The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
*
A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.
16. Replace any reflective tape and clips that may have been remove during the repair.

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.
