2025 Chevrolet Equinox Service and Repair Manual

Chevrolet redesigned the Equinox for 2025, giving the fourth generation a squarer body, a roomier cabin and a new three-trim range of LT, RS and ACTIV, with the old LS dropped. A turbocharged 1.5L inline-four remains the only engine, but it now drives through a CVT on front-wheel-drive versions and an eight-speed automatic on all-wheel-drive versions, so transmission service and fluid specifications split by drivetrain. This factory service and repair manual is written to the 2025 hardware, with procedures, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules that match the new vehicle rather than the outgoing one.

• 1.5L inline-four — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline

Known issues on the 2025 Equinox. One recall is on federal record: door strikers that were not properly heat-treated can break, allowing a door to open unexpectedly, and dealers replace all four side door strikers and their bolts. Owners have lodged 227 complaints, most often against the electrical system, the power train and forward collision avoidance. The door hardware, driveline and body electrical sections of this manual give the torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostic steps needed to check each of those areas.
