Default Ground connector

well I am trying to check the ground for the ebcm that is located near the driver side headlight. How do you separate it to check the contacts are inside once you remove from grounding post. Don’t want to break it. This connector looks different from others. Never had this problem before. I know it must be simple?? 2002 coupe.
thanks for help.

Yes that is correct. That would be great if you could send me a picture or video. I have never seen a connector like this. I want to verify the ground first before removing the EBCM. Got the C1214 code.
Thanks

I can't remember if you can access each individual wire from the back on the connector...if so and you have a sharp 12v test light tip (connected to battery positive) just pierce the ground wire and if the light comes on you have a ground...then use liquid electrical tape to reseal the hole...but if you want to take it apart that's OK...mine was very clean when I opened it up..I used some fine emery cloth and cleaned each terminal...what year is the car ??
