       | Terminal Removal Procedure | 
     
    
   
   
    
   
   
   
    
     
      
       | 1. | Locate the connector position assurance (CPA) on the connector body and pull the CPA out. The CPA is on the wire harness side of connector. 
 
 | 
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 2. | Disconnect the connector from the component. 
 
 | 
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 3. | Use a small flat-bladed tool to gently pry off the dress cover by inserting the tool under the cover opposite the harness side and prying up. 
 
   
 | 
     
    
   
   
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 5. | Using a small flat-bladed tool, push on the side of the nose piece retainer while pushing the nose piece forward with your thumb. This will release the terminal position assurance (TPA). 
 
   
 | 
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 6. | Insert the J-38125-12A into the corresponding terminal release cavity. The release cavities are the 2 center rows of cavities on one half of the connector. 
 
   
 | 
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 7. | Pressing the J-38125-12A tool in the release cavity of the terminal you are removing, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. 
 
   
 | 
     
    
   
   
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 9. | Insert the repaired terminal back into the cavity. Repeat the diagnostic procedure to verify the repair and reconnect the connector bodies.
