How to Handle BatteryNKS00006
CAUTION:

If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster battery and jumper cables, use a 12-volt
booster battery.

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-discharging
a battery.

The battery surface (particularly its top) should always be kept
clean and dry.

The terminal connections should be clean and tight.

At every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.
This also applies to batteries designated as “low maintenance”
and “maintenance-free”.

When the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period of
time, disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.

Check 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.

Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 1
Check “B” Terminal Circuit
CAUTION:
Perform diagnosis under the condition that engine cannot start by the following procedure.
1. Remove fuel pump fuse.
2. Crank or start the engine (where possible) until the fuel pressure is released.
1. CHECK “B” TERMINAL CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Make sure that starter motor “B” terminal connection is clean
and tight.
3. Check voltage between starter motor “B” terminal and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check harness between battery and starter motor for open circuit.
2. CHECK BATTERY CABLE CONNECTION STATUS (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
1. Shift A/T selector lever to “P” or “N” position. (A/T models)
Keep depressing clutch pedal fully. (M/T models)
2. Check voltage between starter motor “B” terminal and battery
positive terminal.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Check harness between the battery and the starter motor for poor continuity.
*1 For battery testing, use Battery Ser-
vice Center (J-48087). For details

3. CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT STATUS (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Shift A/T selector lever to “P” or “N” position. (A/T models)
Keep depressing clutch pedal fully. (M/T models)
3. Check voltage between starter motor case and battery negative
terminal.
OK or NG
OK >> “B” terminal circuit is OK. Further inspection necessary. Refer to SC-13, "Trouble Diagnoses with
Starting/Charging System Tester (Starting)" .
NG >> Check the starter motor case and ground for poor continuity.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 2
Check “S” Connector Circuit
CAUTION:
Perform diagnosis under the condition that engine cannot start by the following procedure.
1. Remove fuel pump fuse.
2. Crank or start the engine (where possible) until the fuel pressure is released.
1. CHECK “S” CONNECTOR CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect starter motor connector.
3. Shift A/T selector lever to “P” or “N” position. (A/T models)
Keep depressing clutch pedal fully. (M/T models)
4. Check voltage between starter motor harness connector and
ground.
OK or NG
OK >> “S” connector circuit is OK. Further inspection necessary. Refer to SC-13, "Trouble Diagnoses
with Starting/Charging System Tester (Starting)" .
NG >> Check the following.

2. CHECK “B” TERMINAL CIRCUIT
Check voltage between alternator “B” terminal and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Check harness for open between alternator and fusible
link.
3. CHECK “B” TERMINAL CONNECTION (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
1. Start engine, then engine running at idle and warm.
2. Check voltage between battery positive terminal and alternator
“B” terminal.
OK or NG
OK >> Go to SC-22, "Trouble Diagnoses with Starting/Charging
System Tester (Charging)" .
NG >> Check harness between battery and alternator for poor continuity.
