DTC Confirmation Procedure
With CONSULT-II
1) Check the following.
IJumper cables are connected for jump starting.
IBattery or alternator has been replaced.
If the result is ªYesº for one item or more, skip the following steps and go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº,
EC-153.
2) Check that the positive battery terminal is connected to battery properly. If NG, reconnect it properly.
3) Check that the alternator functions properly. Refer to EL section (ªCHARGING SYSTEMº).
4) Turn ignition switch ªONº and select ªDATA MONITORº mode with CONSULT-II.
5) Wait one minute.
6) If DTC is detected, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-153.
If DTC is not detected, go to next step.
7) Start engine and wait one minute at idle.
8) If DTC is detected, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-153.

How to Handle Battery
CAUTION:
If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster bat-
tery and jumper cables,
1) Use a 12-volt booster battery.
2) After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are
tightly clamped to battery terminals for good contact.
METHODS OF PREVENTING OVER-DISCHARGE
The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-discharg-
ing a battery.
IThe battery surface (particularly its top) should always be kept
clean and dry.
IThe terminal connections should be clean and tight.
IAt every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.
This also applies to batteries designated as ªlow maintenanceº
and ªmaintenance-freeº.
IWhen the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period of
time, disconnect the negative battery terminal.
ICheck the charge condition of the battery.
Periodically check the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Keep
a close check on charge condition to prevent over-discharge.
CHECKING ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
WARNING:
Do not allow battery fluid to come in contact with skin, eyes,
fabrics, or painted surfaces. After touching a battery, do not
touch or rub your eyes until you have thoroughly washed your
hands. If acid contacts eyes, skin or clothing, immediately
flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
