Battery
a Battery fluid (electrolytel contains sulfuric acid. lt may causo severe burns if it gsts on yout skin or in your eyes.Wear piotective clothing and a face shield.- ll electrolyte gets on your skin or clothes, rinse it ofl with water immediately.- lf electlolyte gets in your eyes, tlush it out by splashing water in your eyes for at least 15 minutes; call a physicianimmediately.
a A battery gives off hydlogen gas. lf ignited, the hydrogen will explode and could crack the battery case and splatte.acid on you. K6ep sparks, flames, and cigarettes away from the battery.a Overchalging will raisc the temperatulg of the electrolyte. This may force electrolyte to spray out ol the battery vents.Follow the chatge. manutacturer's instructions and charge the baftely at a ptope. rate.
NOTE: The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. lf service to the car requires any of the tollowing, be sureto get the customer's code number before- disconnecting the battery.- removing No. 47 (7.5 A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box.- removing the radio.
After service, reconnect power to the radio and turn it on. When the word "CODE" is displayed, enter tne customer's5-digit code to restore radio operation,
Use either a JCI or Bear ARBST tester, and follow the manufacturer's procedures. lf you don't have one of these com-puterazed testers, follow this conventional test Drocedure:To get accurate results, the temperature of the electrolyte must be between 70'F {21oC} and IOOoF (38oC).
lf the case is cracked or the posts are loose,
reDlace the batterv.
lf the indicator shows low electrolyte, add
distilled water if possible.
Test Load Capacity (# 1l
. Apply 3O0 amp load for 15 seconds to remove
surface charge.. Allow 15 seconds recovery period.. Apply test load {see Test Load Chart).. Record voltage at the end of l5 seconds.
Voltage stays above 9.6
volts: The battery is OK.

Test (cont'dl
Charge on High Setting (4O amps)
Charge until EYE shows charge is OK; plus an
additional 30 minutes to assure tull charge.
NOTE: lf the battery charge is very low, it
may be necessary to bypass the charger's
polarity protection circuitry.
lf the EYE does not show charge is OK within
three hours, the battery is no good; replace it.
Write down how long the battery was
charged.
Test Load Capacity (# 2)
Apply 3O0 amp load for '15 seconds to remove surtace charge.
Allow '15 seconds recoverv oeriod.
Apply test load (see Test Load Chart).
Record voltage at the end ol 15 seconds.
Voltage stays above 9.6 volts: The battery is OK. IVoltage drops below 9.6 volts: The battery
rs no good.

Ch6ck Starter Engag€mont;
1. Remove the No. 44 (15 A) fuse from the under-hood
fuse/relay box,
Press the clutch pedal all the way in (M/T), and turn
the ignition switch to "St8rt". The staner should
crank the engine,
NOTE: On cars equipped with manual transmission,
the engine will not crank unless the clutch pedal is
fully depressed.
lf the starter does not crank the engine, go to step 3.
Check the battery, battery positive cable, ground,
and the wire connections for looseness and cor-
rosion.
Test again. lf the stsner stilldoes not crank the en-
gine, go to step 4.
Bypass the ignition switch circuit as follows {make
sure the transmission is in neutral)
Unplug the connector (BLKMHT wire and solenoid
terminal) trom the staner. Then connect a jumper
wire from the batterv positive (+ ) terminal to the
solenoid terminal. The starter should crank the
engine.
a It the stsrter still does not crank the engine,
replace it and diagnose its internal problems,
a lf the starter cranks the engine. go to step 5.
