Camshaft connector wire detached

I was replacing the camshaft sensor and a wire from the three wires on the connector is detached
Is there a video someone can send me on how to replace the connector on 2nd gen Tacoma
Any tips will help

 

When you say detached, is the wire itself broken or did a pin push out of the connector. Sometimes you can just push it back in, make sure it’s in secure and isn’t just going to pop back out.

 

This is how it looks. would this be a pin?

 

Can you take a picture with the connector in better focus?

 

If you tell me what engine, I can get you the connector, and the wire terminal #.
I'd opt for depinning the one wire, and splicing in the new terminal.
You don't need a whole connector.

 

Engine number

 

Looks like rodent damage

 

Looks like the copper thread is cut from the connector on the yellow wire. Not sure tho would that be a pin?

 

The Terminal # is 82998-2450
The connector is 90980-12353 (you don't need it if you depin current connector.)




One of these should be all you need.
Terminal # is 82998-2450

 

The brown part is what helps keep water & dust out. At the end of the yellow part, you can see the gold colored inner strands. The pin broke off the wire.

 

Thank you all!
is there a video on how to uninstall the old and install the new connector for the car model

 

Depinning a connector without the advantage of being able to pull on the wire will be a difficult task, more so if you don’t have really good depinning tools.

If it’s a square type, looks like it might be. Imagine a long metal square tube with a rectangle notch on one of the flat sides. The plastic connector inside has ramped shaped part that snaps into the rectangle. The tall part of the ramp is on the wire side, the short part is on the connecting side. The ramped part is on a long plastic tab. During assembly, the square tube attached to the wire is pushed in from the back side. As it goes in, the tube touches the short part of the ramp, as it goes in further the ramp causes the long plastic tab to lift up, then as it’s pushed in further the ramp snaps down into the rectangle notch locking it in.

To reverse this, or depin, you need to find the long plastic tab. You almost need X-ray vision. There should be a tiny, and I do mean tiny part of the tab to get the depinning tool on to lift so the ramp comes out of the rectangle. If you pull on the wire then try to lift, it might not come out. You need to put tension on the tiny part, then pull, push and pull and swear until the wire and tube come out of the connector.

Now for your situation, you don’t have a wire to pull on. So once you get the ramp out of the notch, you’ll have to use some very small skinny pliers or tweezers to pull out the square tube.

 

I threaded the wire for the camshaft sensor with new connector
Does it matter out of the three wires which one I pin in the three holes of the connector(a order)

 

Yes it does, if it isn't pinned correctly the sensor won't work and you could kill the sensor.

 

What is the order?
Does it kill the sensor or the bank?

 

The numbers should be stamped into the connector, @TnShooter posted the pinout above.

There's 2 Blue wires but IIRC only one will have 5v with the key on and that one goes to Pin 3, the Blue wire that doesn't have 5v goes to Pin 2.

 

How do I test whether it puts out 5v

 

Turn the key on, then test the blue wires with a voltage meter.
Red probe on meter to blue wire, black to battery negative.
The one that has 5v goes to pin 3.

 

With a voltmeter set to volts DC, key on black lead to a known good ground and touch the red lead to the wire you want to check.
