APPENDIX E — CONNECTOR PART NUMBERS, TERMINAL PART
NUMBERS, TOOL PART NUMBERS, AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
Do not solder crimps.
B.
Terminal Removal
1. Insert needle end of terminal remover J 35689-A into the small notch between the connector and
the terminal to be removed (Figure E–2, View A). Push the lock tang toward the terminal.
2. Push the wire and terminal out of the connector (this is a “pull-to-seat” terminal).
3. Pull terminal as far as necessary from the connector. This will be limited by the number of other
wires inserted into the connector and by the distance between the back side of the connector and
the beginning of the harness covering.
4. If terminal is to be replaced, cut the terminal between the core and insulation crimp to minimize
wire loss.
NOTE:
If replacing the complete external harness to transmission connector assembly, a new connector
should be assembled in the following order (see Figure E–2).
1. Insert the two 12-way seals in the back of the connector.
2. Insert the cavity plugs in the openings which will not be used.
3. Put the strain relief in place on the back of the connector.
4. Insert the bolt into the back side of the strain relief and push it through the front of the connector.
5. Install the retainer ring on the bolt.
6. Insert the harness wires in the proper connector positions and pull out the front of the connector.
7. Strip the wires and crimp the terminals as instructed.
C.
Terminal Crimping
Internal and external harness to feedthrough, VIM, and speed sensor terminals (standard crimping tool).
1. If a spare wire is used, the wire should be pushed through the proper hole in the strain relief (if
used), through the green seal, and out the other side of the connector before stripping.
2. Carefully strip insulation 4.5 mm ± 0.5 mm (0.18 ± 0.02 inch). Unless insulation crimp is
overtight, Automatic Wire Stripper J 35615 will remove insulation and crimp from old terminal
without damaging wire.
3. Place core crimp portion of terminal on bed of anvil “E” and squeeze crimper enough to keep
terminal from dropping (Figure E–2, View B).
4. Position wire core in terminal and squeeze crimper tool to complete the core crimp.
Be sure to
orient the terminal so that it is properly aligned with the terminal cavity in the connector.
The terminal should be positioned so that the lock tang is on the side of the cavity which has the
notch in the middle (for the remover tool).
5. Position insulation crimp of terminal on anvil “C” so that the entire insulation crimp area and a
portion of the terminal between the core and insulation crimp areas are supported by the anvil.
Complete the insulation crimp.
