4. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
Use the appropriate terminal and follow the instructions in the J-38125.
Location of the terminal in the repair tray and the proper crimp tool can be found in the appropriate connector end view.
Flat Wire Repairs
FLAT WIRE REPAIRS
NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness
must be replaced.
Heated Oxygen Sensor Wiring Repairs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
NOTE Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to
repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is
obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction
of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor:
-
Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor
performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a
path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
-
Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the
lead wire.
-
Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as
the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
-
To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector.
