J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit

Important: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is the J 35616-64B which has a tin terminal and a blue wire between the base and tip. Failure to use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper diagnosis.

Terminal Removal Procedure




1. Locate the lever lock on the wire dress cover. While pressing the lock, pull the lever over and past the lock.
2. Disconnect the connector from the component.




3. Locate the 2-wire dress cover locking tabs that are opposite the wire end of the connector. Use a small flat-bladed tool to unlock the dress cover.
4. Once the front 2 locks are unlocked, lift the back 2 locks that are on the wire side of the connector.




5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-bladed tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece.
The nose piece covers the terminal release holes on a specific Micro 64 connector. Not all Micro 64 connectors have this nose piece and only require that the TPA be removed before the terminal can be extracted from the connector using the terminal release tool.






Important: Always use care when removing a terminal positive assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it.

6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-bladed tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA comes out of the connector. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector.




7. Insert the J 38125-21 (GM P/N 15381651-2) tool into the 2 triangular cavities on each side of the terminal at the front of the connector.




8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector.
