when inserting and after full engagement.
NOTICE:
When testing a gold-plated female terminal, always use a gold-plated male terminal.
(d) CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR METHOD
(1) If there is any foreign matter on the terminal, clean the contact point with compressed air or a cloth. Never rub the contact point using
sandpaper as the plating may come off.
(2) If there is abnormal contact pressure, replace the female terminal. If the male terminal is gold-plated (gold color), use a gold-plated female
terminal; if it is silver-plated (silver color), use a silver-plated female terminal.
(3) Damaged, deformed or corroded terminals should be replaced. If the terminal does not lock into the housing, the housing may have to be
replaced.
(e) WIRE HARNESS HANDLING
(1) If removing a wire harness, check the wiring and clamps before proceeding so that it can be restored in the same way.
(2) Never twist, pull or slacken the wire harness more than necessary.
(3) The wire harness should never come into contact with any high temperature part, rotating, moving, vibrating or sharp-edged parts. Avoid
contact with panel edges, screw tips and other sharp items.
