General

The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals).

IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125-B Terminal Repair Kit

The tool kit J 38125-B contains the following items:
^ Special sealed splices - in order to repair the SIR system wiring
^ A wire stripping tool
^ A special crimping tool
^ A heat torch
^ An instruction manual

The sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
^ A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside.
