Spring-Loaded Lock Connector
Some SRS system connectors have a spring-loaded lock.
Disconnecting
To release the lock, pull the spring-loaded sleeve toward the stop while holding the opposite half of the connector. Then pull the connector halves apart.
NOTE: Be sure to pull on the sleeve and not on the connector half itself.
1. Hold the pawl-side connector half, and press on the back of the sleeve-side connector half in the direction shown. As the two connector halves are
pressed together, the sleeve is pushed back by the pawl.
NOTE: Do not touch the sleeve.
2. When the connector halves are completely connected, the pawl is released, and the spring-loaded sleeve locks the connector.
