VUE FWD L4-2.4L Hybrid (2007)
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.
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.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except coaxial.
* Do not use the DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
-
Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
-
Use an AWG wire gage.
-
If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the
insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding
