Battery Symptom Troubleshooting - Low or Dead Battery (2014 2015)

Low or Dead Battery

NOTE:

A battery might be discharged under these conditions:
- Driving a vehicle 6 miles (10 km) or less per day.
- Leaving a vehicle idling with high electrical loads such as headlight, seat heaters, wipers, rear window defogger, etc.
When doing the following operation during the measurement of the parasitic draw, it may not be measured accurate:
- Approaching a vehicle with remote.
- Locking or unlocking a door.

Indication Example

- Latest History -

Duration: 72 * hours

Data	Value
IG-OFF	-439. 65 mA
1 hour later	-19. 54 mA
2 hours later	-29. 31 mA
72 * hours later	-19. 54 mA

*: The value that just before the vehicle ignition is in ON mode is shown. The value varies depending on when the vehicle ignition is in ON mode.

PGM-FI system check

- 1. Check for PGM-FI DTCs.

DTC Description	Confirmed DTC	Pending DTC
P0562 CHARGING SYSTEM LOW VOLTAGE
P065A ACG NO CHARGING MALFUNCTION
P16BB ALTERNATOR B TERMINAL CIRCUIT LOW VOLTAGE

Are DTCs P0562, P065A, and/or P16BB indicated?

YES

Go to indicated DTC troubleshooting.

NO

Go to step 2.

Parasitic draw check
- 1. Check all the battery consumption current history with the HDS.

Are all the values of 1 hour later -48. 85 mA or less?

YES

Check the battery.

NO

Go to step 3.
Problem verification
- 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

- 2. Get out of the vehicle, and close all doors and trunk securely.

- 3. Lock the doors with the keyless remote.

- 4. Make sure the individual map lights are turned off and the security alarm system is armed.

- 5. Wait 70 minutes or more.

- 6. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

- 7. Check the latest battery consumption current history with the HDS.

Is the value of 1 hour later -48. 85 mA or less?
1. YES
  
  Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. The possible cause could be that an incorrect parasitic draw value was recorded:
  - A switch was not turned off.
  - The vehicle's accessories were operated for a long time with the vehicle ignition was in the ACCESSORY mode.
  NO
