connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from J 44020. You must use the splice
crimping tool in order to apply these splices.
If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use 1 of the following 2 components in order to
replace the SDM harness connector:
* The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly
* The SDM harness connector replacement kit
If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the
entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain SIR/SRS circuit integrity.
SIR/SRS Wire Pigtail Repair
Important: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component,
with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Important:
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves 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 tefzel and 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:
* 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.
