Wiring and Connectors
Wiring Harness Service
The ECM harness electrically connects the ECM to the
various solenoids, switches and sensors in the vehicle
engine compartment and passenger compartment.
Replace wire harnesses with the proper part number
replacement.
Because of the low amperage and voltage levels utilized
in powertrain control systems, it is essential that all wiring
in environmentally exposed areas be repaired with crimp
and seal splice sleeves.The following wire harness repair information is intended
as a general guideline only. Refer to
Chassis Electrical f o r
all wire harness repair procedures.
Connectors and Terminals
Use care when probing a connector and when replacing
terminals. It is possible to short between opposite
terminals. Damage to components could result. Always
use jumper wires between connectors for circuit
checking. NEVER probe through Weather-Pack seals.
Use an appropriate connector test adapter kit which
contains an assortment of flexible connectors used to
probe terminals during diagnosis. Use an appropriate
fuse remover and test tool for removing a fuse and to
adapt the fuse holder to a meter for diagnosis.
Open circuits are often difficult to locate by sight because
oxidation or terminal misalignment are hidden by the
connectors. Merely wiggling a connector on a sensor, or
in the wiring harness, may temporarily correct the open
circuit. Intermittent problems may also be caused by
oxidized or loose connections.
Be certain of the type of connector/terminal before
making any connector or terminal repair. Weather-Pack
and Com-Pack III terminals look similar, but are serviced
differently.
Wire Harness Repair: Twisted
Shielded Cable
Removal Procedure
1. Remove the outer jacket.
2. Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape. Do not remove the
mylar.
047

6E–221 4JX1–TC ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
3. Untwist the conductors.
4. Strip the insulation as necessary.
048
Installation Procedure
1. Splice the wires using splice clips and rosin core
solder.
2. Wrap each splice to insulate.
3. Wrap the splice with mylar and with the drain
(uninsulated) wire.
049
4. Tape over the whole bundle to secure.
050
Twisted Leads
Removal Procedure
1. Locate the damaged wire.
2. Remove the insulation as required.
051

6E–222

052
2. Cover the splice with tape in order to insulate it from
the other wires.
053
3. Twist the wires as they were before starting this
procedure.

Weather-Pack Connector
To o l s R e q u i r e d
5-8840-0388-0 Weather-Pack II Terminal Remover
Removal Procedure
A Weather-Pack connector can be identified by a rubber
seal at the rear of the connector. This engine room
connector protects against moisture and dirt, which could
from oxidation and deposits on the terminals. This
protection is important, because of the low voltage and
the low amperage found in the electronic systems.
1. Open the secondary lock hinge on the connector.
070
2. Use tool 5-8840-0388-0 or the equivalent to remove
the pin and the sleeve terminals. Push on
5-8840-0388-0 to release.
NOTE: Do the use an ordinary pick or the terminal may
be bent or deformed. Unlike standard blade terminals,
these terminals cannot be straightened after they have
been improperly bent.
071
3. Cut the wire immediately behind the cable seal.
072
Installation Procedure
Make certain the connectors are properly seated and all
of the sealing rings are in place when you reconnect the
leads. The secondary lock hinge provides a backup
locking feature for the connector. The secondary lock
hinge is used for added reliability. This flap should retain
the terminals even if the small terminal lock tangs are not
positioned properly.
Do not replace the Weather-Pack connections with
standard connections. Read the instructions provided
with the Weather-Pack connector and terminal packages.
1. Replace the terminal.
2. Slip the new seal onto the wire.
3. Strip 5 mm (0.2”) of insulation from the wire.
4. Crimp the terminal over the wire and the seal.
073

6E–224
4JX1–TC ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
5. Push the terminal and the connector to engage the
locking tangs.
070
6. Close the secondary locking hinge.
Com-Pack III
General Information
The Com-Pack III terminal looks similar to some
Weather-Pack terminals. This terminal is not sealed and
is used where resistance to the environment is not
required. Use the standard method when repairing a
terminal. Do not use the Weather-Pack terminal tool
5-8840-0388-0 or equivalent. These will damage the
terminals.
Metri-Pack
To o l s R e q u i r e d
5-8840-0632-0 Terminal Remover
Removal Procedure
S o m e c o n n e c t o r s u s e t e r m i n a l s c a l l e d M e t r i - P a c k S e r i e s
150. These may be used at the engine coolant
temperature (ECT) sensor.
1. Slide the seal (1) back on the wire.2. Insert the 5-8840-0632-0 tool or equivalent (3) in
order to release the terminal locking tang (2).
060
3. Push the wire and the terminal out through the
connector. If you reuse the terminal, reshape the
locking tang.
Installation Procedure
Metri-Pack terminals are also referred to as “pull-to-seat”
terminals.
1. In order to install a terminal on a wire, the wire must be
inserted through the seal (2) and through the
connector (3).
2. The terminal (1) is then crimped onto the wire.
061
3. Then the terminal is pulled back into the connector to
seat it in place.
