CAUTION: Do not use any other heat shrink hose other than the recommended taped heat shrink hose mentioned in the repair procedure.
This document is intended to provide information on quick and efficient minor repairs to connectors or cables using approved methods and a harness repair kit. Repairs are only permitted for cables and connectors with mechanical, not electrical, damage. In addition, this procedure can be applied in cases where the degree of damage can be clearly identified and repaired.
The high quality of repair is determined by the thoroughness and accuracy of the performer.
Warning:
At the time of the initial release of the Harness Repair Manual, there are no approved repair procedures for the following circuits:
- Any MOST network harnesses.
- Airbag Deployment Circuits (SRS).
- Connecting wire assemblies exclusively used for safety-critical circuits, such as anti-lock brake circuits (ABS) and thermocouples. An example is ABS wheel speed sensors with molded connectors.
- Shielded cables, wires and wiring harnesses.
If any wire harnesses with bad contacts in the electrical connectors or wires from the above circuits are the cause of the problem, new components must be installed.
