"Last week GM released its revised flat towing procedure for the 2010-2017 Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain. That brought questions from some of you. Below are GM’s responses. People who own a 2010 Equinox should pay particular attention to question #5.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\n\t\tWhen using the new flat towing procedure, will the odometer accumulate mileage? \n\t \n\n\n\tNo, the odometer will not accumulate.\n \n\n\n\t       2.    Why is it not possible to flat tow the 2018 Terrain? Isn’t it the same as the Equinox? \n \n\n\n\tThe electronic transmission shift control in the 2018 Terrain precludes dinghy towing at this time.  We are exploring methods that will potentially allow dinghy towing in the future.\n \n\n\n\t        3. I wonder if removal of the ABS fuse (fuse 16) is a safety issue since many dinghy auxiliary braking systems will activate the ABS system on the dinghy when required in panic conditions. \n \n\n\n\tThe removal of the ABS fuse is to disable the active return feature of the electric power steering to allow the wheels to steer more freely during tight turns at low speed.  Auxiliary brake controllers should be set up to provide appropriate braking force for the given conditions and not rely on ABS, just like any other trailer.  Most trailers do not have ABS.\n \n\n\n\t         4. Some of us have been towing the Equinox without pulling any fuses. What, if any, problems might this pose? \n \n\n\n\tThere will potentially be too much steering resistance or centering causing tires to scrub around low speed tight turns.  See question 3.\n \n\n\n\t        5. Step 2 in the GM service bulletin says to remove fuse 16, the Antilock Brake System Module fuse from the engine compartment fuse block.  However, my 2010 Equinox owner’s manual shows fuse 15 as the Antilock Brake System Module fuse. – Steve Gaines. \n \n\n\n\tWe are correcting this error in the service bulletin.  Thank you for the feedback.  Fuse 15 is indeed the ABS module fuse, which is the one to remove for 2010 Equinox. This was changed to fuse 16 for the 2011-2017 Equinox.\n \n\n\n\tAlso, I have heard from one owner of a 2013 Equinox who said the wobble occurred while they were following the revised flat towing procedure. I have forwarded that information to GM.\n \n\n\n\tAs updates become available, I’ll keep you all informed. -- John Johnston, Associate Editor, Family Motor Coaching.\n \n"
