J-38125  Terminal Repair Kit

The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS, and the wiring components, such as connectors and terminals.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals. Use either an SIR/SRS pigtail or a terminated lead from the SIR Repair Kit Tray.

The tool kit J-38125  contains the following items:

  • DuraSeal splice sleeves, in order to repair the SIR/SRS wiring
  • A special crimping tool
  • A heat torch
  • An instruction manual

The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:

  • A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside.
  • A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides the necessary low resistance contact integrity for these sensitive, low energy circuits.

The J-38125  also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:

  • A large sampling of common electrical terminals
  • The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
  • The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
