Battery Cable Replacement Positive, 3.5L Twin Cam V6 LX5

Removal Procedure

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

Caution: This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System. Failure to follow the correct procedure could cause the following conditions:

•	Personal injury

•	Unnecessary SIR system repairs

In order to avoid the above conditions, observe the following guidelines:

•	Refer to SIR Component Views in order to determine if you are performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring.

•	If you are performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, disable the SIR system. Refer to Disabling the SIR System.

When replacing battery cables be sure to use replacement cables that are the same type, gauge and length.

1. Disconnect the battery ground (negative) cable from the battery. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection .
2. Disconnect the battery (positive) cable from the battery.



3. Remove the remote positive stud cover.
4. Remove the battery (positive) cable junction block lead nut, the engine harness lead, and the battery (positive) cable from the underhood accessory wiring junction block.



5. Remove the battery (positive) cable from the starter motor BAT terminal.



6. Remove the battery cable retainers from the engine frame.
7. Remove the battery (positive) cable from the wiring harness conduit.

Installation Procedure

1. Install the battery (positive) cable into the wiring harness conduit.



2. Install the battery cable retainers to the engine frame.



3. Install the battery (positive) cable to the starter motor BAT terminal.

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.

4. Install the starter solenoid BAT terminal nut.

Tighten
Tighten the starter solenoid BAT terminal nut to 10 N·m (84 lb in).




5. Install the battery (positive) cable, the engine harness lead, and the battery (positive) cable junction block lead nut to the underhood accessory wiring junction block.

Tighten
Tighten the battery (positive) cable junction block lead nut to 10 N·m (89 lb in).

6. Install the remote positive stud cover.



7. Install the battery (positive) cable to the battery.

Tighten
Tighten the battery (positive) cable terminal bolt to 15 N·m (11 lb ft).

8. Connect the battery ground (negative) cable to the battery. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection .
