Repair Methods: Notes
CAUTION:
Several different types and sizes of terminal may be found in a single electrical connector housing.
It is necessary to identify:
- The conductor (wire) size of the affected wiring harness
- The electrical connector range from which the damaged wiring harness is to be removed
- The terminal type
Use of the approved diagnostic tool will greatly assist in the quick identification of electrical connectors and faulty pin terminal(s).
Reference can also be made to the vehicle Electrical Guides, held by Dealers, to identify wiring harness(s) and electrical connector(s).
By using the Relationship Table, the wiring harness conductor (wire) size can be related to a suitable pre-terminated wiring harness by the color of the insulation. Also, the correct length of insulation to be stripped from the wiring harness lead is identified.
