J 44020 Terminal Repair Kit
Notice: 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.
The engine harness may be repaired using the J 44020.

Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the
faulty segment of the wire.

J 44020 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,
