RELAY
Battery and load location may require that a switch be placed
some distance from either component.
This means a longer wire and a higher voltage drop
1. The
installation of a relay between the battery and the load reduces
the voltage drop
2.
Because the switch controls the relay, amperage through the
switch can be reduced.

BATTERY
Inspection
1. Check the battery terminals 1 for corrosion.
2. Check the battery cables
2 for looseness.
3. Check the battery case
3 for cracks and other damage.
4. Check the battery electrolyte level.
Battery-2
Battery Replacement
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable 1.
2. Disconnect the battery positive cable
2.
3. Remove the battery clamp
3.
4. Remove the battery
Caution:
It is important that the battery ground cable be removed
first.
Removing the battery positive cable first can result in a
short circuit.
Jump Starting the Engine with a Booster Battery
The following description assumes that you are using a booster
battery mounted on a second vehicle.
The listed steps (with some minor modifications) are also
applicable if you are using a naked booster battery or special
battery charging equipment.

Caution:
Never push or tow the vehicle in an attempt to start it.
Extensive damage to the emission system and other
vehicle parts will result.
(Only catalytic converter vehicle)
Treat both the discharged battery and the booster battery
with great care when using jumper cables.
Carefully follow the procedure outlined below.
Always be aware of the dangers of sparking.
Failure to follow the following procedure can result in:
a. Serious personal injury, specially to your eyes.
b. Extensive property damage from a battery explosion,
battery acid discharge, or electrical file.
c. Extensive damage to the electronic components o
f
both vehicles.
Do not use a 24 volt booster battery.
Serious damage to the vehicle's electrical system and
electronic components will result.
Jump Starting Procedure
1. Set the parking brake on both vehicles.
2. If one or both vehicles is equipped with a manual
transmission, place the gear shift in the "NEUTRAL"
position.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles.
4. Turn off all vehicle lights and accessories.
5 Be sure that the two vehicles are not touching.
Attach the end of one jumper cable to the booster battery
positive terminal.
6
Attach the other end of the same cable to the discharged
battery positive terminal.
7. Once again, check that the booster battery has a 12 vol
t
rating.
8.
Attach one end of the remaining booster cable to the
booster battery negative terminal.
9.
Attach the other end of the booster cable to a solid ground
(such as the air conditioner compressor mounting bracke
t
or the alternator mounting bracket) in the engine room o
f
the vehicle with the discharged battery.
Be sure that the ground connection is at least 500 mm (20
in) from the discharged battery.

ELECTRICAL-BODY AND CHASSIS 8A-21
Caution:
Do not attach the booster cable to the discharged battery
negative terminal.
11. Start the engine of the vehicle with the booster battery.
Check that all unnecessary electrical accessories are off.
12. Start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
13. Remove the jumper cables in the reverse order to which
they were attached.
Caution:
Be absolutely sure to remove the negative jumper cable
from the vehicle with the discharged battery first.
