popping Toyota connector terminals / pins

Here's some tricks to popping terminals out of toyota connectors

Thanks for this video! It helped me getting the terminals out of the plug as shown @2:23 without damaging anything

Awesome. Thank you for taking the time to post.

Kelvin, tricks of the trade! Thanks,

You do it good and fast. I was dealing with the green water temp plug today and couldn’t put the terminals back in. I really don’t know why. After trying a few times I even broke a terminal because it couldn’t get in from the back so I tried from the front. A mess. So i used new terminals but they aren’e exactly the same size and don’t want to get in. I’ll try again tomorrow. FYI the connector has been put together in a wrong way before and probably the plastic was already ruined. The 2 wings won’t slide in their plastic sites.

Good advice on the not pulling the wire before trying to lever the locking tab. I normally try and push the wire in as far as I can before trying to lever the locking tab so there is no tension on the locking tab.

One other thing you might want to add is with really old harnesses wiggle the wire in and out cause sometimes the grommets weld themselves to the plastic lol

Are the knock sensors able to be unpinned and repinned? On 1uzfe the single pin ones

I've got the kind you show with the white locking piece to be pulled out. It's not clear to me which way you're levering to unlock. I tried with a specialized tool for this and levering up or down didn't make any difference, but the interior of the connector was so brittle it just crumbled.

The replacement connectors I bought are apparently wrong because the terminals won't slide in.

OMG!!! The one you through back was the lock I needed to see... Why didn't just do them all?

[crunchygremlin]

What do you do if the wire is broken off at the connector so you can't pull the wire

[bobbuilder]

Good little tip. Any chance you could do a vid on Knock sensor wiring ? Does the shielding wire earth to the ECU ?

[Seclusion]

QUESTION. If i got the terminals out but theres no wire what should I do next.

Hey Kalvin I’m doing a 1uz swap into my s13, the motor is out of a 93 sc400 and I already changed the oil pan and filter, I have a 92 ls400 ecu and a 93 ls400 harness, is it possible to make the 93 harness work with the 92 ecu ?

You know what dude, you would have a million views if you just made a video of how to actually pull these goddam connectors apart. Im not even talking about the pins, just the two main connector parts. Its always such an insane hassle and they’re all different.

Love your videos! Very informative, I have recently picked up a 2000 hilux 1KZ Turbo. I have wired up 90% of the engine but some plugs I am unaware of where they connect to. Any videos on wiring up a 1kz motor?
Cheers

So basically push and pull ...push on the lock tab while pulling on wire?!
