Please discard PIT5287F. The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI. Condition / Concern Certain repairs to the front suspension require the removal of the front shock electrical connector terminals. Because the terminals are positioned deep into the connector body, it may be difficult to remove the terminals. Note: If the shock is being replaced under warranty, do NOT cut the connector off. The wiring needs to stay intact when the shock is returned to engineering for testing. Recommendations / Instructions Note: If the shock is being replaced under warranty, do NOT cut the connector off. The wiring needs to stay intact when the shock is returned to engineering for testing. The use of terminal release tool J-38125-12A (Delphi # 12094429), with a small modification, has been found to make removal of the terminal(s) much easier. Slightly bend the end of the J-38125-12A release tool, as shown in the photo below. To release the terminals perform the following: 1. While looking down into the connector body at the terminals, there is a purple TPA. Slide the TPA over to expose the terminal release hole openings, as shown below in callouts 1 and 2. NOTE: While performing step 2, if the wire is slightly pushed into the connector body, it will relieve some of the pressure from the terminal's locking tab and make it easier to release the terminal. 2. Next, insert the terminal release tool J-38125-12A (Delphi # 12094429) into one of the terminal release holes. Then, tilt the release tool so that it will push in on the terminal's release tab, as shown below in callout 3. The heavy black line in the photo below represents the release tool. As you can see, if the release tool is slightly modified, with a bend, it will make it easier for the tool to push in the terminal's release tab. 3. Once the terminal's release tab is pushed in, then pull the wire and terminal out the rear of the connector body. Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed. © 2022 General Motors. All Rights Reserved.
