Negative Battery Terminal Connection

CAUTION:
  • When tightening the negative battery terminal, tighten it to the specified torque. If it is not tightened to the specified torque, the battery charging/discharging may be affected. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION (VIN 7 & VIN L) .) (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION (VIN M) .) (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION (VIN Y) .)
  • Connect the negative battery terminal before connecting the current sensor connector. If the current sensor connector is connected first, the PCM may mistakenly recognize a signal from the current sensor and learn the battery condition incorrectly. (with current sensor)
  • Verifying the tightness while holding the current sensor may apply excessive force to the terminal and the terminal could loosen, causing poor engine starting. When verifying the tightness of the negative battery terminal, only hold the terminal area, not the current sensor. (with current sensor)
