CONNECTORS

Data Link Connector

• Insert the probe into the service hole when connecting a jumper wire to the data link connector.

Caution

• Inserting a jumper wire probe into the data link connector terminal may damage the terminal.

Disconnecting Connectors

• When disconnecting connector, grasp the connectors, not the wires.

• Connectors can be disconnected by pressing or pulling the lock lever as shown.

Locking Connector

• When locking connectors, listen for a click indicating they are securely locked.

Inspection

• When a tester is used to inspect for continuity or measuring voltage, insert the tester probe from the wiring harness side.

• Inspect the terminals of waterproof connectors from the connector side since they cannot be accessed from the wiring harness side.

Caution

• To prevent damage to the terminal, wrap a thin wire around the tester probe before inserting into terminal.

Terminals

Inspection

• Pull lightly on individual wires to verify that they are secured in the terminal.

Replacement

• Use the appropriate tools to remove a terminal as shown. When installing a terminal, be sure to insert it until it locks securely.

• Insert a thin piece of metal from the terminal side of the connector and with the terminal locking tab pressed down, pull the terminal out from the connector.

Sensors, Switches, and Relays

• Handle sensors, switches, and relays carefully. Do not drop them or strike them against other objects.

Wiring Harness

Wiring color codes

• Two-color wires are indicated by a two-color code symbol.

• The first letter indicates the base color of the wire and the second the color of the stripe.
