- Follow the instructions in SI for Battery Inspection/Test and Battery Charging using the EL-50313 Midtronics GR8 Battery Tester/Charger.
- Perform the Battery Electrical Drain/Parasitic Load Test in order to verify the cause of the low battery, such as aftermarket equipment, Customer driving habits, etc. Refer to SI.
- No other action is required as the Service Message will automatically clear once the battery is charged properly and the vehicle is operated over a number of ignition cycles. Other on board DTCs may have set if the vehicle experienced a low voltage condition..
- Use the scan tool to clear ALL DTCs prior to releasing the vehicle to the Customer.
