BATTERY
• Remove the cell plug using a suitable tool.
• Add distilled water up to the MAX level.
SULFATION
•A battery will be completely discharged if it is left unattended
for a long time and the specific gravity will become less than
1.100. This may result in su lfation on the cell plates.
• To determine if a battery has been “sulfated”, note its voltage
and current when charging it. As shown in the figure, less cur-
rent and higher voltage are ob served in the initial stage of
charging sulfated batteries.
• A sulfated battery may someti mes be brought back into ser-
vice by means of a long, slow charge, 12 hours or more, fol-
lowed by a battery capacity test.
Specific Gravity Check
NOTE:
Check the charge condition of the battery.
Periodically check the specific gravity of the electr olyte. Keep a close check on charge condition to prevent
over-discharge.
1. Read hydrometer and thermometer indications at eye level.
2. Use the chart below to correct your hydrometer reading accord- ing to electrolyte temperature.

Charging The Battery
CAUTION:
• Never “quick charge” a fully discharged battery.
• Keep the battery away from open flame while it is being charged.
• When connecting the charger, connect
the leads first, then turn on the charger. Never turn on the
charger first, as this may cause a spark.
• If battery electrolyte temperature rises above 55 °C (131 °F), stop charging. Always charge battery at
a temperature below 55 °C (131 °F).
Charging Rates (Standard Charge)
Charging Rates (Quick Charge)
NOTE:
The ammeter reading on your battery charger will automatically decrease as the battery charges. This indi-
cates that the voltage of the battery is increasing norma lly as the state of charge improves. The charging amps
indicated above refer to initial charge rate.
• If, after charging, the specific gravity of any two cells varies more than 0.050, the battery should be replaced.

FUSE INSPECTION
How To CheckINFOID:0000000012433130
• If fuse is blown, be sure to eliminate cause of malfunction before
installing new fuse.
• Use fuse of specified rating. Never use fuse of more than specified
rating.
• Do not partially install fuse; always insert it into fuse holder prop- erly.
• Remove fuse for “ELECTRICAL PARTS (BAT)” if vehicle is not used for a long period of time.
EXTENDED STORAGE SWITCH (IF EQUIPPED)
NOTE:
• When extended storage switch is pulled out, a message may be shown in the\
meter or display. To turn mes-sage/display off, push extended storage switch in.
• The following information is related to extended storage switch (shipping mode). For information related to BCM transit mode, refer to BCS-15, "
TRANSIT MODE CONTROL SYSTEM : System Description".
The following switch may be mounted on the fuse block (Junction Box) for transportation and storage.
Remove the extended storage switch if it interferes when checking fuses.

FUSIBLE LINK INSPECTION
Fusible LinkINFOID:0000000012433131
A melted fusible link can be detected either by visual inspection or by
feeling with finger tip. If its condition is questionable, use circuit
tester or test lamp.
CAUTION:
• If fusible link should melt, it is
possible that critical circuit
(power supply or large current carrying circuit) is shorted. In
such a case, carefully check and eliminate cause of malfunc-
tion.
• Never wrap outside of fusi ble link with vinyl tape. Important: Never let fusible link touch any other
wiring harness, vinyl or rubber parts.
