GMLAN Wiring Repairs
GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS
TOOLS REQUIRED
J 44020 Terminal Repair Kit
The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the
specific procedures and instructions when working on GMLAN connectors and terminals.
The tool kit J 44020 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring:
-
DuraSeal splice sleeves
-
A wire stripping tool
-
A special crimping tool
-
A heat torch
The DuraSeal sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
-
A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside.
-
A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits.
GMLAN REPAIRS
IMPORTANT: When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must be the same length as before the repair.
If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be maintained after the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN
has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and
Operation.
GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR
IMPORTANT: A service terminal lead kit can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems.
When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to
make the repair.
If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal.
GMLAN 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 a wire 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
sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 44020. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the DuraSeal
splice sleeves.
