Sensing and Diagnostic Module Connector Removal

IMPORTANT:
The SDM connector has been intentionally designed with higher than normal insertion and removal force characteristics to prevent the connector from inadvertently disengaging. When disconnecting the SDM connector from the SDM, refer to the following procedure.




1. Once the SDM connector has been accessed, remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and then push connector inward toward the SDM, to seat the connector. (This allows the connector lock ramps to move freely.)

2. Once the connector has been seated, depress connector strain relief housing "Dome" to free up the lock ramps. (The dome is located directly above the connector lock release.)

3. While holding the connector strain relief housing dome downward against the connector body, remove connector.
