If the connectors are properly engaged, the CPA member is capable of being moved from its preassembled position to a second or home position. If the connectors are improperly engaged, movement of the CPA member from its preassembled position to its home position is prohibited thereby positively indicating that an improper engagement between the connectors exists.
