Information regarding recharging the Battery or using the Battery jump start terminal on vehicles with Start/Stop

Connect the positive pole first and then the body ground using a charge cable. This ensures that the Battery Monitoring Control Module -J367- is not bridged. Charging the Battery directly on the negative terminal bridges the Battery Monitoring Control Module -J367- and prevents the Battery Monitoring Control Module -J367- from recording the Battery data during the charging process. The values stored in the Data Bus On Board Diagnostic Interface -J533- regarding the Battery condition no longer match the values for the charged Battery -A-.
