Precautions For Removing Battery Terminal: Notes
- With the adoption of Auto ACC function, ACC power is automatically supplied by operating the Intelligent Key or remote keyless entry or by opening/closing the driver side door. In addition, ACC power is supplied even after the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, i.e. ACC power is supplied for a certain fixed time.
- When disconnecting the 12 V battery terminal, turn off the ACC power before disconnecting the 12 V battery terminal, observing "How to disconnect 12 V battery terminal" described below.NOTE: Some ECUs operate for a certain fixed time even after ignition switch is turned OFF and ignition power supply is stopped. If the battery terminal is disconnected before ECU stops, accidental DTC detection or ECU data damage may occur.
- After installing the 12 V battery, always check "Self Diagnosis Result" of all ECUs and erase DTC.NOTE: The removal of 12 V battery may cause a DTC detection error.
