Terminal Repairs
Terminal Repair
The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather Pack(R) terminals. Some terminals do not require all steps
shown. Skip those that don't apply. The Terminal Repair Kit (J 38125-A) contains further information.
Step 1:
Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for Weather Pack(R) terminals.
Step 2:
Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal (Weather Pack(R) terminals only).
Step 3:
Remove insulation.
Step 4:
Align seal with end of cable insulation (Weather Pack(R) terminals only).
Step 5:
Position strip (and seal for Weather Pack(R)) in terminal.
Step 6:
Hand crimp core wings.
Step 7:
Hand crimp insulation wings (non-Weather Pack(R)). Hand crimp insulation wings around seal and cable (Weather Pack(R)).
Step 8:
Solder all hand crimped terminals.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Repair
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 provided to it 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 degraded Oxygen Sensor performance.
