Differential Elec. Module (DEM). How to disconnect 2 wire plugs??
http://i62.tinypic.com/206l8q0.jpg
I think my DEM is bad, so I removed the 2 hex bolts. I have no idea how to fully disconnect the 2 wiring harnesses. Do I just yank on them as hard as I can? Is there a release tab somewhere? |

Ok, here is a picture of the 2 clips. Notice that tab/latch looking thing near the top of the harness base. I tried pressing and pulling on it, but it didn't budge at all. So, I can't even tell if that tab thingy is a latch or not. |
Press the release to release the catch and pull the connector off. The release is the part you mention where the wiring goes into the connector.
You can put a small, flat screwdriver in there and rotate it to unlatch. Be careful not to break it though. |
Sticking a screwdriver in the upper hole and twisting seems like i would only break the tab, b/c I do not understand what the latching mechanism actually is.
|
Well, sticking a screwdriver in the tab and trying to pry it up broke the tab right off.
I re-installed the DEM (which was a bitch to realign while holding that loose metal gasket piece in place) and will see if a mechanic can remove the DEM. But, with a broken tab, how much of a problem is that going to be?? |
No problem at all if it stays connected.

Replaced the entire AOC and DEM controller. 675$ used and refurbed from Erie Volvo with lifetime warranty. Not to shabby. Installed and used gl-5 80w for the gear oil. My question is even though the part came off the exact same vehicle, do I still have to flash the ecu? I'm still getting the anti/skid service required message even after resetting the ecu by disconnecting the battery. And it's hard to tell if it's actually working without slippery conditions. I also have to replace my yaw sensor and a tone ring. Would those defects mess with the operability at all?
