Stages of repair
1. Put the gearbox in the park or in first gear.
2. Wheel chocks behind the rear wheels of the vehicle.
3. Pull the lever in the cockpit hood of the vehicle.
4. Pull the cable out of the hood and lift the lid.
5. Insert a Memory Keeper (device that keeps your computer's settings) into the accessory power outlet in the cabin.
6. Press the tab on the top cover and the batteryremove.
7. Press the lid on the Backup tab, and lift the lid, so that the backups are accessible.
8. With a 1/4-inch drive 10mm socket wrench and a 1/4-inch square drive, remove the cable plus (red) on the fuse box.
9. With a 1/4-inch drive 10mm socket wrench and a 1/4-inch square drive, remove the bracket fixing the negative cable instead of negative.
10. With more than hand tools to remove clamps wired POSITIVEPOSITIVE post.
11. Loosen the clamp on the battery cover. With a flat screwdriver, loosen the latches that secure the lid of the tray.
12. Remove the cover and set aside.
13. Remove with a disc 13 millimeters socket 3/8-inch and 3/8-inch drive ratchet and 3/8-inch extension of 18 inches, the battery hold-down bolts and the bracket.
14. Remove with a belt of vehicle and on the work table for the test.
15. Before testing, theThe levels of electrolytes in all cells (6) are examined.
16. Remove the cap from their cells.
17. Use a hydrometer (available at auto parts stores) to one (1) or six (6) cells.
18. The reading of the hydrometer scale should be about 1 270. This reading indicates a full charge. A reading below indicates charge before testing.
19. Fill the cells, which are low with a filling of liquids, but only with distilled water.
20. PlaceDesk charger and the cable position.
21. Insert the red wire to the positive contribution.
22. Insert the charger black wire instead of negative.
23. Set the mode dial is set on the 2-stage amp
24. Charge the battery for seventy-two (72) hours. to carry a full charge.
25.Using a digital multimeter (DMM) (available at auto parts stores), put the selector control VOLT.
26. Put the redProof of DMM in the socket red
27. Insert the black wire of the DMM test the socket COM.
28. Plug the other end of the ferrule red instead POSITIVE.
29. Plug the other end of the black test negative for the post.
30. The reading on the display of the DMM must be between 12 50-12,75 volts.
31. This reading would give a full charge ..
32, this test is the point, as evidence of open circuit (OCV) and that alone is known,that it is fully charged.
33. It can only be evaluated for the ability and power with a load tester.
34. A load tester into account the possibility of starting the vehicle, the accessories are operated and maintained, that burden does not go for 15 seconds with a voltage of less than 9 6 volts.
35. A battery can load this tension is broken.
36. The loading test showed that it is defective.
37. Vor der Installation einer Ersatz, und die SpezifikationenSize must be the same as the original are replaced, that is to say, and the average current rating CCA.
38. Clean the positive and negative contributions ..
39. Clean the cable of the negative and positive, with a wire brush before installing the replacement.
40. Stubborn dirt and corrosion should be cleaned with baking soda and water.
41. Replace the battery tray in place of the vehicle.
42. Install the hold-down screws and bracket, cover, fuseBox and the screw cap in reverse order from which they were removed.
43. Remove the memory card from the holder accessory socket.
44. Remove the brake pads from the rear.
45. Try the bug for proper operation.
Project Suggestions
* A Memory Keeper is an electronic device that is managed by a nine (9) times. When plugged accessories, located in the cabin, the settings in the ROM of the computernot lost. Without the help of the memory keeper, the vehicle must be driven to relearn many miles for the computer, the settings programmed.
* A digital multi-meter (DMM) is an electronic measuring instrument that is used by technicians and do-it-yourself electrical fault in a circuit of the vehicle.
* To avoid charger, a battery maintainer should be used to continue to pay, if a service vehicle or left, whenStorage.
Warning
When working around a battery, safety glasses should be worn around the eyes and Gas elecrolyte protect.
