Sensing and Diagnostic Module Connector Assembly

The SDM connector is assembled from basically three parts:

^ The connector body (P/N 12188017) that contains the terminals for all of the SDM wiring.

^ A "clamshell" housing that surrounds the connector body and serves as a terminal position assurance (TPA) device.

^ A tethered connector position assurance (CPA) device (P/N 12191277).








When assembling these three parts, care must be taken to slide the connector body into the "clamshell" housing so that the terminal position provision (1) is inserted into the connector body. The following connector views illustrate correct and incorrect SDM connector assembly.
