IMPROPER TERMINAL ENGAGEMENT CHECK
Terminals inside a connector may not engage properly even if the connectors engage. Make sure that each terminal does not come out of the connector
when gently pulling each harness wire. If it does, repair or replace the terminal and/or connector.
CONNECTOR TERMINAL ENGAGEMENT AND DISENGAGEMENT
Loosely engaged terminals can be repaired by removing the female terminal from the connector housing and raising its lance to establish better
engagement. Removal of the connector terminal used for MFI and INVECS-II A/T control circuits can be done in the following manner.
COMPUTER CONNECTOR
1. Insert a screwdriver [1.4 mm (0.06 inch) width] as shown in the figure, disengage the front holder, and remove it.
2. Push the harness wire of the terminal to be repaired deep into the connector from the harness side and hold it there.
3. Insert the tip of the screwdriver [1.4 mm (0.06 inch) width] into the connector as shown in the figure, raise the housing lance slightly with the tip,
and pull out the terminal.
