Terminal Removal Procedure
Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from the connector.
- Locate the lever lock on the wire dress cover. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) and slide the lever lock away from the connector body.
- Disconnect the connector from the component.
- Locate the dress cover locking tabs on the dress cover of the connector. Using a small flat-blade tool release all of the locking tabs.
- Release the lower wire dress cover locking tab.
- Release the upper wire dress cover locking tab.
- Once the locks are unlocked, lift the dress cover off.
Note: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it.
- Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the locking tabs on both sides of the TPA. Gently prise the TPA out of the connector.
- Remove the nose piece by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the locking tabs on both sides of the nose piece. Gently prise the nose piece out of the connector.
- Insert the J-38125-12A tool to release the terminals by inserting the tool into the terminal release cavity.
- 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.
- Repair the terminal by following the Repairing Connector Terminals procedure.
- Insert the repaired terminal back into the cavity. Repeat the diagnostic procedure to verify the repair and reconnect the connector bodies.
