High Temperature Wiring

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Suzuki XL7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures, 135°C (275°F) or higher, for prolonged periods of time may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating than typical wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:

Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to replace any damaged wire.
Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with SCT1 shrink tubing (available in the J-38125 Terminal Repair kit).
After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat source.
