Battery Replacement Rear

Caution: Batteries produce explosive gases, contain corrosive acid, and supply levels of electrical current high enough to cause burns. Therefore, to reduce the risk of personal injury when working near a battery:

Caution: Batteries produce explosive gases. Batteries contain corrosive acid. Batteries supply levels of electrical current high enough to cause burns. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of personal injury while working near a battery, observe the following guidelines:

1. Disconnect the battery negative cable from the negative battery terminal. Refer to Battery Cable Replacement in Engine Electrical.
2. Disconnect the auxiliary positive and negative battery cables from the battery terminal. Refer to Battery Cable Replacement in Engine Electrical.
3. Remove the rear battery tray from the vehicle.



4. Remove the battery hold down retaining bolt.
5. Remove the battery from the tray.

1. Install the battery into the battery tray.
2. Connect the hold-down retainer and bolt.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

Tighten
Tighten the hold-down retainer bolt to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).

3. Install the rear battery tray to the vehicle.
4. Connect the positive and negative battery cables to the battery. Refer to Battery Cable Replacement in Engine Electrical.
5. Connect the battery negative cable to the battery. Refer to Battery Cable Replacement in Engine Electrical.
