(Refer to Body - "Luggage Side Trim")
|
| 3. |
Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal
(A).
|
| 4. |
Disconnect the battery sensor connector (B).
|
Battery (-) terminal tightening nut :
7.8 - 9.8 N·m (0.8 - 1.0 kgf·m, 5.2 - 8.7 lb·ft)
|
|
| 5. |
Remove the battery sensor (A) by loosening the mounting bolt (B).

|
|
| 1. |
Install in the reverse order of removal.
|
When battery sensor signal fault occurs, inspect the vehicle
parasitic draw in advance after inspecting the sensor because the
sensor will behave abnormally when the parasitic draw is more than
100mA. (Refer to vehicle parasitic current inspection)
|
|
After reconnecting the battery negative cable, AMS function does
not operates until the system is stabilized, about 4 hours.
If disconnecting the negative (-) battery cable from the battery
during repair work for the vehicle equipped with AMS function, Battery
sensor recalibration procedure should be performed after finishing
the repair work. (Refer to Battery Sensor Recalibration Procedure)
|
|
For the vehicle equipped with a battery sensor, be careful not
to damage the battery sensor when the battery is replaced or recharged.
| 1) |
When replacing the battery, it should be same one (type,
capacity and brand) that is originally installed on your
vehicle. If a battery of a different type is replaced, the
battery sensor may recognize the battery to be abnormal.
|
| 2) |
When installing the ground cable on the negative post
of battery, tighten the clamp with specified torque. An
excessive tightening torque can damage the PCB internal
circuit and the battery terminal .
|
| 3) |
When recharging the battery, ground the negative terminal
of the booster battery to the vehicle body.
