* The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
SIR/SRS Connector Repair (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin)
The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made with a special plating. This plating provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy
circuits. Use the J-38125 SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit for repairing SIR/SRS terminals and connectors. Do not substitute any other terminals for those
in the repair kit.
The J-38125 SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit contains:
* Various terminated leads for sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) terminal replacement
* Various connector positive assurance (CPA) locks for SIR/SRS connectors
* Base of steering column pigtail connectors part number 12085514
* Yellow vinyl electrical tape
Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the connector body is available for connectors with more
than eight terminals. The terminated leads in the J-38125 SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit can be used to replace damaged terminals when replacing the
connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Important: 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
Important: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this
information in order to ensure circuit integrity.
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.
Important: 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.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together.
