OK.. before you start to flame, as I'm sure this has been discussed before. I just can't find the thread.

But!!!!

Is there a right and wrong way to reconnect the battery?? What I'm trying to get at is that, are there specific steps one must adhere to when reconnecting the battery to avoid a CEL??

Cheers,
LJ

 

anyone???

 

Disconnet the negative battery cable first will not effect your computer............. NEVER disconnect positive first .

cheers

You disconnect the NEG first in case your wrench hits metal when disconnecting POS. (POW)

Make sure you adhere to the following service bulletin when re-installing the battery, especially if you have NAV.

Hey... thanks a bunch Valpac... the procedures in that tsb worked a treat. the CEL has disappeared, but I'll keep an eye on it over the next few days to see if it comes back.

Cheers

Not a dumb question, and I'm not one to say , "do a f'in search", so here you go...

I always disconnect the one that is the easiest. The other terminal is so huge and with so many wires attached to it, I leave that one alone. Hope I got the right one.

 

hmmm.. this is really weird...
The topic reads "Reconnecting the battery" and I get all these responses about how to DISconnect the battery
