J 44020 Terminal Repair Kit
The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working on GMLAN connectors and terminals.
The tool kit J 44020 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring:
- DuraSeal splice sleeves
- A wire stripping tool
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
The DuraSeal sealed splices have the following 2 critical features:
- A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside.
- A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits.
