CAUTION: Always use a new Volvo original cable terminal of the recommended type and quality when replacing a cable terminal.

Identify the cable terminal







First compare the cable terminal removed from the housing with the cable terminals in the repair kit pin 9814235. Look inside the box lid and compare the terminal with those in the assortment available in the box.

NOTE: Cable area When the correct type of cable terminal is identified choose one of the right size for the cable area required. Seal sws For cable terminals designated sws a seal must be used.

Stripping the cable insulation

If no similar cable terminal is available in the cable terminal assortment

If the cable terminal does not compare with any of those available in the assortment in the box, check in the relevant Spare Parts Catalogue.

Seal sws and plug

Seal sws for cable terminals

CAUTION: Always use the correct size of seal to match the cable.







A seal must always be used for cable terminals with the designation sws.

How to identify a cable terminal that requires a seal:

- If there is a hole or slot (see arrow in illustration) in the insulation wings a seal must be used.







Seals are used where the cables are exposed to aggressive environmental factors and there is a risk of moisture penetration in the housing cavities.

The rubber-based seals prevent oxidization and retain moisture proof properties even when subjected to heavy vibration and extremes of temperature.

The seals are crimped round the cable at the insulation wings on the cable terminal.

The seals have different colors which are coded according to size as shown in the table below.

Plug






Plugs are used to close the unused cavities in a moisture proof housing.

A plug is in principle like a seal but without a hole in it for a cable.

Plugs are included in the repair kit p/n 9814235 for housings with cable terminals of the type 2.8 sws.
