This bulletin applies to 2016-2017 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon vehicles. The MIL may be on with DTC P151E set. This condition may be caused by a poor connection at the X105 connector AGS (active grille shutter).

Turn the ignition off and wait about 2 minutes for the vehicle to power down. Raise the vehicle, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Remove the fasteners at the front half of the wheel liner, pull the liner back and tuck it behind the left front wheel.

Reach through the opening to the left front corner of the cooling module to locate X105. Disconnect the X105 electrical connector for the active grille shutter motor.

Apply dielectric grease in the connector and reconnect it. Install the wheel well liner and lower the vehicle. Verify that DTC P151E is not set. Do not replace the AGS until the electrical connection has been validated.
