Removal And Installation
REMOVAL
- Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
- Disconnect the wire harness connector (2a) from the Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) (1c).
- Loosen the captive nut (1a).NOTE:
Do not remove the captive nut, doing so will cause the stud on the IBS post clamp to break.
- Using an appropriate battery terminal puller, remove the battery cable terminal (1b) from the negative battery post.NOTE:
Never pry the IBS to remove it from the post clamp. This will damage the IBS and will need to be replaced.
NOTE:
Connecting the negative battery cable to the IBS must be done before installing on the battery post.
NOTE:
DO NOT use a hammer to tap down the sensor. Use a post spreader to open the post if reusing the existing sensor.
NOTE:
Avoid IBS rotation during tightening of the nut to avoid breakage of the connector when rotating onto the battery.
INSTALLATION
- Place the IBS onto the negative battery post and push the IBS down until properly seated on the cone of the post.
- Tighten the post clamp nut (3a) to the proper torque specifications. Refer to TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS .
- Install the wire harness connector (1a) to the IBS (1b). Make sure there is no stress on the wires.
