J44020 Terminal Repair Kit
The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive
nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components, such
as connectors and terminals.
SIR/SRS Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair
Use the connector and wire repair assembly packs, available through Saturn Service Parts, to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and
the terminals. These kits include an instruction sheet and the DuraSeal spliced sleeves. Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves in order to splice the new wires,
connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from J44020. You must use the splice
crimping tool in order to apply these splices.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to
replace the SDM harness connector:
* The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
* The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the
entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain SIR/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS 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. Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool
from the J44020. 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.
