2009 Chevrolet Equinox Battery Cable Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the positive battery cable (LNJ) (3.4L) on 2009 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: The procedure for positive Battery Cable (LNJ) (3.4L) replacement starts with removing the battery followed by the underhood bussed electrical center (UBEC) cover. You must eliminate the positive Battery Cable terminal nut by removing both the positive Battery Cable terminal and its stud at the ubec. The first step includes detaching both clips on the positive and negative battery cables from their positions on the battery tray support bracket and the side of the bracket. Start by raising the vehicle before detaching the positive Battery Cable terminal to Starter Solenoid nut while also removing the positive Battery Cable lead from the Starter Solenoid. The Battery Cable retainer should be detached from the transaxle selector cable bracket before cutting tape which releases the positive Battery Cable from its wire loom position. The first step for installation requires you to install the positive Battery Cable into the wire loom before adding new tape for support. Start by hanging the Battery Cable retainer on the transaxle selector cable bracket then position the positive Battery Cable lead on the Starter Solenoid. Rove through by connecting the positive Battery Cable terminal to Starter Solenoid nut, and follow-up with torquing the nut to 10 nm (89 lb in). Drop the vehicle while attaching the positive and negative Battery Cable clip onto the battery tray support bracket and its adjacent edge. Position the battery box followed by attaching the positive Battery Cable terminal to the ubec stud while securing it with a tightened positive Battery Cable terminal nut set to 15 nm (11 lb ft). Replacement of the ubec cover should be followed by reinstallation of the battery.
