SIR Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair

Repair damaged SIR wire harness connectors and terminals (except pigtails) using the connector repair assembly packs. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices to splice the new wires, connector, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is colour keyed to match the splices from Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A. You must use the splice crimping tool to apply these splices.
The terminals in the SIR system are made of a special metal. This special metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs.
If individual terminals are damaged on the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module connector, you must replace the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module connector with a inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module connector/pigtail assembly. If individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR connection, the entire connection should be replaced. Use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack. You should replace the entire SIR WIRING harness, if necessary to maintain SIR circuit integrity.
