Slave Battery Connection
| ITEM | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| 1 | Vehicle body ground terminal |
| 2 | Jump start positive terminal |
The jump start terminal (positive) is located in the EJB 1 in the front right of the engine compartment. A cover protects the positive terminal when not in use. When jump starting is required, the cover must be removed and the positive jump lead attached securely. The cover must be installed to the positive terminal when not in use.
The vehicle body ground terminal is located adjacent to the EJB 1/Jump start terminal positive. When connecting a slave power supply to the vehicle, always use the vehicle body ground terminal.
Never connect the slave power supply directly to the startup battery negative terminal. The current flow into the startup battery is not recorded when a slave power supply is connected directly to the startup battery negative terminal. The BMS , due to the unmonitored current flow into the startup battery, retains incorrect information of the startup battery condition. The system recognizes and compensates for the change in startup battery status after a period of time.
