  1. Install the CJB fuse 33 (10A) to the CJB and close the cover.
  2. NOTE: This step is not required if the battery was connected after depowering procedure.
  3. Connect the battery. For additional information, refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES .
  4. Prove out the fire suppression system as follows:

    Turn the ignition lock cylinder from the OFF to the ON position and visually monitor the fire suppression system indicator. The fire suppression system indicator will light continuously for approximately six seconds and then turn off. If a fire suppression system fault is present, the fire suppression system indicator will:

    • fail to light.
    • remain lit continuously.
    • flash.

    The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition lock cylinder has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the fire suppression module to complete the testing of the fire suppression system. If this occurs, the fire suppression system fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.

    Clear all continuous DTCs from the fire suppression module using a diagnostic tool.
