Wire Repair
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1993 Toyota Previa. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
If air bag wiring harness is damaged, replace complete wiring harness assembly. Following WIRE REPAIR procedure is to be used only to repair connector to front air bag sensors.
- Repair wire using 2 Pressure-Contact Sleeves (82988-50010); sleeves are available for repairing air bag connector problems. To repair, uncover front air bag sensor connector to be repaired. Leaving wires as long as possible, cut wiring harness behind connector. Carefully strip .31-.43" insulation from each wire to be repaired. DO NOT damage wire during this operation. If any damage exists, perform stripping operation again.
- Overlap 2 stripped wire ends inside pressure-contact sleeve. Using Crimper (169060-2), place sleeve in correct color-keyed section of tool. With center of sleeve between crimping jaws, squeeze tool until either end comes in contact at section of tool marked CLOSE HERE.
- Pull joined wires on both ends to ensure a secure crimp. Crimp both ends of sleeve using crimper at INS position. See Fig 1. Thoroughly wrap silicon tape around joint for protection.
