2021 Kia Telluride EX, FWDFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Repair Procedures: Installation

  1. Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
  • For the vehicle equipped with a battery sensor, be careful not to damage the battery sensor when replacing or recharging the battery.
  • When replacing the battery, a battery of the same type, capacity and brand as the previously installed battery should be used. If the vehicle is replaced with a battery of a different type, the battery sensor may recognize it as abnormal.
  • When installing the battery, fix the mounting bracket on the tray correctly.
  • When installing the ground cable on the negative post of battery, tighten the clamp to the specified torque. Excessive tightening can damage the PCB internal circuit and the battery terminal.
  • After disconnecting then reconnecting the battery negative cable, reset some parts that require the reset procedures.
