Troubleshooting Section
A. Ensure that the locking wedge for the connector
is installed pr
operly. Terminals cannot be retained
inside the connector if the locking wedge is not
installed properly.
B. Perform the 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each wire.
Each terminal and each connector should easily
withstand 45
N (10 lb) of tension and each wire
should remain in the connector body. This test
checks whether the wire was properly crimped
in the termin
al and whether the terminal was
properly inserted into the connector.
Expected Res
ult:
Each terminal and each connector easily withstands
45 N (10 lb) of
pull and each wire remains in the
connector body.
Results:
•
OK – All terminals pass the pull test. Proceed to
Test Step 5.
•
Not OK – A wire has been pulled from a terminal
or a termina
l has been pulled from the connector.
Repair: Use the 1U-5804 Crimp Tool to replace
the termina
l. Replace damaged connectors, as
required. Verify that the repair eliminates the
problem.
STOP.
Test Step 5
. Check Individual Pin
Retentio
n into the Socket

Diagram for testing pin retention (typical example)
A. Verify that the sockets provide good retention for
the pins. Insert a new pin into each socket one
at a time
in order to check for a good grip on the
pin by the socket.
Expected Result:
The sockets provide good retention for the new pin.
Results:
•
OK – The terminals are OK. Proceed to Test Step
6.
•
Not OK – Terminals are damaged.
Repair: Use the 1U-5804 Crimp Tool to replace
the damaged terminals. Verify that the repair
eliminates th
e problem.
STOP.
Test Step 6. Check the Locking
Mech anism of the Connectors
A. Ensure that t
he connectors lock properly. After
locking the connectors, ensure that the two halves
cannot be pulled apart.
B. Verify that the latch tab of the connector is
properly latched. Also verify that the latch tab of
the connect
or returns to the locked position.
Expected Result:
The connector will securely lock. The connector and
the locking mechanism are without cracks or breaks.
Results:
•
OK – The conn
ectors are in good repair. Proceed
to Test Step 7.
•
Not OK – The c
onnector’s locking mechanism is
damaged or missing.
Repair: Re
pair the connector or replace the
connector, as required. Verify that the repair
eliminates the problem.
STOP.
Test Step 7
. Check the Allen Head Screws
on the Conn
ectors
Visually inspect the allen head screws for the ECM
connecto
rs. Ensure that the threads on each allen
head screw are not damaged.
A. Connect t
he ECM connectors.
