IMPORTANT Plugs and couplings. with yellow, orange or red housing colors are reserved for safety and restraint systems (SRS) and roll bars.

IMPORTANT Observe the following when repairing couplings for squibs (SRS systems):

The repair area must be between 100 mm and 1000 mm behind the squib. Cables which have already been repaired are provided with a yellow marking. This is to be applied retroactively to repair lines without color marking.

Carry out the first repair as close to the plug as possible. In the case of subsequent repairs the old soldered connectors should be removed and the new ones should be attached behind them, the wiring harness should be replaced if necessary.

Before cutting through the lines it is absolutely essential to assign the lines to the corresponding pins in accordance with the wiring diagram. Do not mix up the pin assignment.

The line colors of the repair kit may deviate from the original fitting

Screened lines and light plastic-sheathed cable must never be repaired

In general the following applies to cable repair:

If more than ten lines per branch-off line are damaged, the wiring harness module must be replaced.
