HARNESS CONNECTOR (LEVER LOCKING TYPE)
Lever locking type harness connectors are used on certain control units and control modules such as
ECM, ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), etc.
Lever locking type harness connectors are also used on super multiple junction (SMJ) connectors.
Always confirm the lever is fully locked in place by moving the lever as far as it will go to ensure full con-
nection.
CAUTION:
Always confirm the lever is fully released (loosened) before attempting to disconnect or connect these
connectors to avoid damage to the connector housing or terminals.
