Fault finding – Introduction88C
2nd generation
(AC4 phase II)
• Visual inspection of the metal contacts:
(The female contact is called CLIP. The male contact is called TAB.)
– Check that there are no bent contacts (the contact is not inserted correctly and can come out of the back of the
connector). The contact comes out of the connector when the wire is pulled gently.
– Check that there is no damage (folded tabs, clips open too wide, blackened or melted contact, etc.).
– Check that there is no oxidation on the metal contacts.
• Visual inspection of the sealing:
(Only for watertight connectors)
Check for the seal on the connection (between the 2 parts of the connection).
– Check the seal at the back of the connectors:
– For unit joints (1 for each wire), check that the unit joints are present on each electrical wire and that they
are correctly positioned in the opening (level with the housing). Check that plugs are present on openings
which are not used.
– For a grommet seal (one seal which covers the entire internal surface of the connector), check that the seal
is present.
– For gel seals, check for gel in all of the openings without removing the excess or any protruding sections (it
does not matter if there is gel on the contacts).
– For hotmelt sealing (heat-shrink sheath with glue), check that the sheath has contracted correctly on the
rear of the connectors and electrical wires, and that the hardened glue comes out of the side of the wire.
– Check that there is no damage to any of the seals (cuts, burns, significant deformation, etc.).
If a fault is detected, consult Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring.
