Gold Plated Pins

NOTE: Gold plated terminals should only be replaced with new gold plated terminals.

Some engine control hardware has gold plated pins within the connectors and mating harness connectors to improve electrical stability for low current draw circuits and to enhance corrosion resistance. The engine control (EC) components equipped with gold terminals vary by vehicle application.
