Then, either disconnect the battery at the negative
terminal or use the “Battery Save Feature” to conserve
battery power. Refer to “Battery Save Feature” under
“Maintenance Procedures” in this section for details.
NOTE: Disconnecting the battery causes the engine
control system to lose memory of some “learned” func-
tions. After reconnecting the battery, the engine may run
rough until the control module “relearns” these func-
tions. Using the Battery Save Feature will prevent the
engine controller from loosing its memory.
CAUTION!
Use care when disconnecting the remote positive
cable. It is connected to the battery and can short out
to any metal on the vehicle. Always tape or wrap the
exposed cable end to prevent electrical shorts.

Check the battery every 4 to 6 weeks to ensure that the
voltage is above 12.40 volts. The voltage will drop
more rapidly in hot temperatures. If battery voltage
drops below 12.40 volts, follow the battery recharge
procedure in the Service Manual.
