USB Harness Power Supply Update
November 24, 2015

Some 2015 Acadia, Enclave and Traverse models may have a front console USB port losing power with the ignition key off or the USB music playlist restarting from the beginning after cycling the ignition.



Update the power feed harness to the front console USB connector for full-time battery power to address these conditions. Use TXL automotive grade jumper wire, a USB connector female terminal and an X340 connector female terminal to make a jumper wire for the X340 to USB connection.

Follow the instructions in Bulletin #15-NA-028 to build the jumper wire. The terminals should be located in the J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit.



To install the jumper wire, remove the right side of the floor console extension panel. Uncouple the large X340 connector with the white lever action CPA.

Insert the large jumper wire terminal into the backside of cavity 18 in the connector.

The USB wire harness is sheathed in grey foam wrap at the back of the floor console USB port. Unplug the connector and use the purple J-38125-215A release tool to unseat the PK wire and terminal from the backside of the connector.

Insert the small jumper wire terminal into the backside of the USB connector. Clip the terminal off the PK wire and secure the wire with tape to the USB harness. Reconnect the USB connector to the USB port and test the USB port for full-time battery power.
