Service Procedure

1. Remove the Power Distribution Center (PDC) cover.





2. Check for the presence of a 25 amp cartridge fuse (Figure 1) in PDC location number 6:

> If PDC location number 6 has a 25 amp cartridge fuse, a fuse upgrade is not required. No further action is required. Install the PDC cover, close the hood and return the vehicle to the customer.

> If PDC location number 6 does not have a 25 amp cartridge fuse, a fuse upgrade is required. Continue with Step 3 of this procedure.





3. Disengage the retaining tabs that secures the PDC to the mounting bracket (Figure 2).

4. Disconnect the main B+ battery feed wire on the PDC (Figure 2).

5. Remove and save the PDC mounting bracket.

6. Turn the PDC over to expose the bottom side of the PDC.





7. Carefully open the PDC bottom cover (Figure 3).

8. Using a small pick tool, remove and discard the black plastic terminal lock (Figure 3).





9. Insert the blade terminal provided in the repair kit into cavity number 6 of the PDC (Figure 4).

10. Install the new black plastic terminal lock provided in the repair kit (Figure 4).





11. Locate the red wire located in cavity 14 (Figure 5). Place a mark on the wire approximately 35 mm up from the blade terminal.

12. Cut the wire at the mark made in Step 11.





13. Place the clear shrink tube provided in the repair kit over the remaining wire in cavity 14 of the PDC. Apply heat to the shrink tube to seal the end of the wire (Figure 5).

14. Strip approximately 10 -15 mm of insulation from the end of the remaining cut wire.

15. Place the black shrink tube provided in the repair kit over the remaining cut wire.





16. Using the supplied splice band clamp and crimp tool 10042, crimp the wire that had the insulation stripped in Step 14 to the wire that was added in Step 9 (Figure 6).





17. Solder the crimp installed in Step 16 with rosin core solder (Figure 7).

18. Slide the shrink tube over the splice and apply heat to the shrink tube until glue comes out of both ends of the shrink tube.

19. Install the lower PDC cover.

20. Install the PDC mounting bracket.

21. Snap the PDC into position on the mounting bracket.

22. Connect the B+ power feed to the PDC. Tighten the retaining nut securely.





23. Remove and discard the white 25 amp mini fuse located in cavity number 14 of the PDC (Figure 8).

24. Install the new fuse supplied in the repair kit into cavity number 6 of the PDC (Figure 8).





25. Install the new fuse location stickers supplied in the repair kit onto the fuse location diagram on the inside of PDC cover (Figure 9).

26. Install the PDC cover onto the PDC.

27. Connect the negative battery cable to the battery.

28. Connect the wiTECH scan tool and clear all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
