Use care when probing a connector and when replacing terminals. It is possible to short between opposite terminals. Damage to components could result.
Always use jumper wires between connectors for circuit checking. NEVER probe through Weather-Pack seals. Use an appropriate connector test adapter
kit which contains an assortment of flexible connectors used to probe terminals during diagnosis. Use an appropriate fuse remover and test tool for
removing a fuse and to adapt the fuse holder to a meter for diagnosis.
Open circuits are often difficult to locate by sight because oxidation or terminal misalignment are hidden by the connectors. Merely wiggling a connector
on a sensor, or in the wiring harness, may temporarily correct the open circuit. Intermittent problems may also be caused by oxidized or loose
connections.
Be certain of the type of connector/terminal before making any connector or terminal repair. Weather-Pack and Com-Pack III terminals look similar, but
are serviced differently.

Tools Required
J 35689 Terminal Remover
Removal Procedure
Some connectors use terminals called Metri-Pack Series 150. These may be used at the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.
1. Slide the seal (1) back on the wire.
2. Insert the J 35689 tool or equivalent (3) in order to release the terminal locking tang (2).
3. Push the wire and the terminal out through the connector. If you reuse the terminal, reshape the locking tang.
Installation Procedure
Metri-Pack terminals are also referred to as "pull-to-seat" terminals.
1. In order to install a terminal on a wire, the wire must be inserted through the seal (2) and through the connector (3).
2. The terminal (1) is then crimped onto the wire.
3. Then the terminal is pulled back into the connector to seat it in place.
COM-Pack III
COM-Pack III
The Com-Pack III terminal looks similar to some Weather-Pack terminals. This terminal is not sealed and is used where resistance to the environment is
not required.
Use the standard method when repairing a terminal.
Do not use the Weather-Pack terminal tool J 28742-A or equivalent.
These will damage the terminals.
