Jaguar Land Rover Restraints Wiring: UPDATE

The question is often asked, "Can supplemental restraints system wiring be repaired?" The answer is: it depends on the vehicle maker. Let's take a look at Jaguar Land Rover's position on this subject.

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) provides a robust document on wiring repair that includes procedures, tools, repair materials, and cautions.

The Wiring Harness document is in the vehicle-specific Workshop Manual under: 4: Electrical ➤ 418: Electrical Distributions ➤ 418-02 Wiring Harnesses ➤ Wiring Harness (Description And Operation).

Per the JLR Wiring Harness document:

  • "All supplementary restraint system wiring harness repairs must be completed using the recommended pre-terminated leads, overlays and the approved repair kit only."

Be sure to review the document for proper repair location identification and the required materials and tools to perform the repair.
