Hey Sam,

Take a look here and see if you can find your connector, pins and tool!

Sumitomo TS .025 sealed series - Connector and Terminals

Thanks, they have one there for $4.05!

And you can call me Steve, not Sam.

ive done a lot of secondary air jobs on all the toyota trucks but i dont think ive ever seen that. make sure ur air pump filter is still there because that was due to water intrusion from the pump.

Oh, snap!
Sorry Steve!

Glad they had one, plus you will need the special pliers to make the crimp.
I made my connections when I had to extend my camera harness for my ctnewman rear tire carrier.
Used their connectors, pins and I bought the pliers from Amazon, methinks.

So it’s a two step crimping process. Can you describe which part goes where in the crimping tool. Back end of the female terminal is for the insulation portion of the wire. Where does that go in the crimping tool. Similarly for the wire portion of the terminal.

Tried twice crimping terminal to tahe existing wire from the harness. Inserted it in the plug, but could not get the locking cross piece inserted. Not certain I had the new terminal fully inserted, resulting in it impeding the locking bar. Ruined two locking bars and have just one left. Not enough wire left on the harness to maneuver. So I sent my wife (her truck) to get 20 awg wire. I will crimp a terminal to a pig tail of wire and inserting it into the plug, then butt splice it to the harness.

They are tricky sometimes, have to make sure it is oriented correctly so it will insert all the way in.
Make a new tail harness and waterproof butt splice into current harness. Leave plenty of slack, wire loom it for protection.

Ok I crimped a pigtail of wire to a terminal and pushed it into the existing plug. Once again, could not get the locking clip in. The terminals have two barns atop the female end portion that also lock it in, or you at least need a tool to release them. So there is some redundancy and it is being held there. I plugged it back on and no code, but the real test will be after the next cold start-up.

Wish I could figure out the damn locking clip. They come out easy.

Only suggest looking at some videos….

Traded e-mails with the owner of cycleterminal.com. That white plastic locking clip is supposed to slide to the outside, but remain in the plug. Then you put the wire terminals in and slide the locking clip back in place. So it's really a just a shift, not a full removal. As the locking clips got ruined in my dumb shit move, I ordered a couple more plugs to make a final, permanent repair.

Currently the plug is in place without the locking clip. The terminals do have two barbs which also hold them in the plug. Wife was driving it around yesterday and today and so far no codes. Pretty certain the problem is resolved, but I want a more permanent solution on the plug with the lock clip in place.

Good write up!
Hope this helps others when making new connections either in repairs like this or mods where complete harnesses are needed.
Thx for this info!
