Terminal Removal Procedure
View of a typical connector in the assembled position.
- Pull the locking lever to the 90 degree position from the connector body.
- With the locking lever in the 90 degree position and the male connector body separated, it can be slid outward for removal.
- Slide the male connector body out away from the guide plates.
Note: During assembly the terminal position assurance (TPA) will not fully seat if any terminal is not fully seated.
- Using terminal release tool J-38125-11A or equivalent, remove the TPA from the connector body.
- Using terminal release tool J-38125-566, press the prongs into the holes on each side of the terminal to be removed to release the lock tabs and pull the terminal out of the connector body.
- Using terminal release tool J-38125-560, press the prongs into the holes on each side of the terminal to be removed to release the lock tabs and pull the terminal out of the connector body.
- Using terminal release tool J-38125-221, press the prongs into the holes on each side of the terminal to be removed to release the lock tabs and pull the terminal out of the connector body.
- The female connector body may have an additional connector hooked to the edge of the body. Use terminal release tool J-38125-11A or equivalent to release the locking tab and slide the connector off the female body.
- Move the locking lever 180 degrees from the connected position.
- With the locking lever in the 180 degree position the guide plates can be removed from the connector body.

- Press the terminal plate back into the female connector to the preset position. The plate will bind slightly on each corner.
- With the locking lever in the 180 degree position, align the guide plates to mesh with the gears on the locking lever.
- Slide the male connector body back inward toward the guide plates.
- With the locking lever in the 90 degree position and the male connector body connected, it can be slid inward for assembly.
- Move the lever into the locked position or in the assembled position. This will pull the male connector down into the female connector.
