Terminal Removal Procedure


1. Disconnect the connector from the component by pressing down on the connector position assurance (CPA).

2. Use a small flat head screwdriver or similar to remove the TPA catch. Insert the screwdriver in the small slit on the side of the contact and press upwards until the catch comes free of the connector housing. The TPA catch must be lifted a little. Do not try to remove the TPA.

Note

The TPA on this connector cannot be removed unless the terminals are removed first. The TPA will come out of the connector body, but only slightly. When the TPA is slightly raised the terminals can be removed. Using excessive force to remove the TPA with the terminals still in the connector will damage the connector.



3. Repeat the process for the other side of the connector.

4. Ensure that the TPA is in the proper position to remove the terminals.


5. While pushing the terminal forward, insert the J-38125-24 in the release cavity above 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.


6. Repair the terminal by following the Repairing Connector Terminals (Terminated Lead Repair) Repairing Connector Terminals (Terminal Repair) procedure.

7. Insert the repaired terminal back into the cavity. Repeat the diagnostic procedure to verify the repair and reconnect the connector bodies.
