I-CAR · December 21, 2018 · Honda, Acura
Summary
This article outlines Honda and Acura's guidelines for non-SRS wiring repairs, specifying that repairs are only permitted if replacement connectors, terminals, or pigtail kits are available in the OEM parts catalog. It also highlights that twisting, soldering, and taping wires are not approved repair methods, and splices must be staggered.
What to do on the job
Verify the availability of OEM replacement connectors or terminal kits in the Honda/Acura parts catalog before attempting a repair; if parts are not listed, replace the entire wiring harness.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the cost of a complete wiring harness replacement when individual connectors or terminal kits are not listed in the OEM catalog. It can also be used to defend the labor time required for proper staggered splicing and to reject unapproved repair methods like soldering and taping.
