How to Handle BatteryINFOID:0000000009460432
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.
• Never add distilled water through the hole used to check specific gravity.
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. (If
the vehicle has an extended storage switch, turn it off.)

BATTERY DIAGNOSIS WITH EXP-800 NI OR GR8-1200 NI
To diagnose and confirm the condition of the batte ry, use the following special service tools:
• EXP-800 NI Battery and electrical diagnostic analyzer
• GR8-1200 NI Multitasking battery and electrical diagnostic station
NOTE:
Refer to the applicable Instruction Manual for proper battery diagnosis procedures.
BATTERY DIAGNOSIS WITHOUT EXP-800 NI OR GR8-1200 NI
Checking Electrolyte Level
WARNING:
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with skin, eyes, fabrics, or painted surfaces. After touch-
ing a battery, never touch or rub your eyes until you have thoroughly washed your hands. If acid con-
tacts eyes, skin or clothing, immediately flush wit h water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
Failure to do this may cause personal injury or damage to clothing or the painted surfaces.

HOW TO READ HARNESS LAYOUT
The following Harness Layouts use a map style grid to help locate
connectors on the drawings:
• Main Harness, Console Sub-harness, Speaker Sub-harness
• Engine Room Harness
• Engine Room Harness (Passenger Compartment)
• Front End Module Harness, Fr ont Combination Lamp Sub-har-
ness, Front Fog Lamp Sub-harness
• Engine Control Harness (QR25DE)
• Engine Control Harness (VQ35DE), Knock Sensor Sub-harness
• Body Harness, Front Seat LH Harness, Chassis Harness
• Body No. 2 Harness, Front Seat RH Harness, ODS Sub-harness
• Room Lamp Harness
• Front Door LH Harness, Front Door LH Sub-harness
• Front Door RH Harness
• Rear Door LH Harness
• Rear Door RH Harness
To use the grid reference
1. Find the desired connector number on the connector list.
2. Find the grid reference.
3. On the drawing, find the crossing of the grid reference letter column and number row.
4. Find the connector number in the crossing zone.
5. Follow the line (if used) to the connector.
