SIR Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair

Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125-B. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices.

The terminals in the SIR system are made of a special metal. This 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 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 connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain SIR circuit integrity.
