Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns
are hidden and can only be discovered by a physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be
replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated terminal.
Terminal not properly seated
1
= Locked terminal
2
= Male half
3
= Female half
4
= Seal
5
= Intermittent contact
6
= Unlocked terminal (Hidden by wire seal)
7
= Seal
Check for unlocked terminal by pulling each wire at the end of the connector.
Defective insulation stripping
1
= Proper crimp
2
= Insulation not removed
3
= Wire strands missing
4
= Intermittent signals through pierced insulation
