Most Harness Repair Procedure: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The MOST connector(s) have an anti-backout device which prevents the contact from being released from the connector. The anti-backout device must be released before attempting to remove the terminal from the connector. The anti-backout devices require a special tip to release the device. Please refer to the ERL for the correct tool(s) to use.
The illustration shows an example of a common style of extraction tool being used on a MOST connector(s). Care should be exercised to avoid further damage when removing the terminals from the connector.
CAUTION:
- Before releasing the fiber optic cable from the connector housing, mark the IN/OUT assignment of the fiber optic cable.
- To prevent contamination or mechanical damage to the exposed end face of a fiber optic cable, make sure all disconnected MOST connectors and fiber optic cables are fitted with a protective cap.
