J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit. See Special Tools .
The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS, and the wiring components, such as connectors and terminals.
NOTE:
Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals. Use either an SIR/SRS pigtail or a terminated lead from the SIR Repair Kit Tray.
The tool kit J-38125 contains the following items: See Special Tools .
- DuraSeal splice sleeves, in order to repair the SIR/SRS wiring
- A special crimping tool
- A heat torch
- An instruction manual
The DuraSeal splice sleeves 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 the necessary low resistance contact integrity for these sensitive, low energy circuits.
The J-38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. See Special Tools . The kit contains the following items:
- A large sampling of common electrical terminals
- The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
- The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
