Using a small flat-bladed tool, push on the side of the nose piece retainer while pushing the nose piece forward with your thumb. This will release the terminal position assurance (TPA).
Insert the J-38125-12A tool into the corresponding terminal release cavity. The release cavities are the 2 center rows of cavities on one half of the connector.
Pressing the J-38125-12A tool in the release cavity of the terminal you are removing, 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 (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.
