Terminal Removal Procedure
If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should be replaced.
Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors:
- Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock.
- Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors.
- Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device.
- Review the connector end view to determine the proper test probe and release tool.
- Insert the release tool into the front of the connector body.
- Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal out the front of the connector body.
- Repair the terminal by following the Repairing Connector Terminals (Terminated Lead Repair) procedure.
- Insert the repaired terminal back into the cavity. Repeat the diagnostic procedure to verify the repair and reconnect the connector bodies.
