Wiring Repair General Information

Wiring Repair
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. These specific procedures and instructions must be followed when working with the SRS wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals).

SRS Wire Splice Repair
Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (three wires or more) in the SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application.

Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The Connector Position Assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SRS electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SRS mating terminals.

Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.
