Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts required for the repair.
• Ensure the vehicle is in a safe, well-ventilated area.
• Disconnect the battery before starting work to prevent electrical shock.

2. Inspect and Clean Battery Terminals

• Remove the battery terminals, starting with the negative terminal followed by the positive.
• Clean the terminals and cable ends using a wire brush to remove corrosion.
• Reattach the terminals securely after cleaning.

3. Replace the Battery (if necessary)

• Remove Old Battery:
  • Loosen and remove the battery hold-down bracket.
  • Carefully lift the old battery out of the tray and place it on a flat surface.
• Install New Battery:
  • Place the new battery in the tray, ensuring proper orientation.
  • Reinstall the hold-down bracket and tighten it to secure the battery.
• Reconnect Battery:
  • Connect the positive terminal first, followed by the negative terminal.

4. Test the Electrical System

• Start the vehicle and monitor all electrical components for proper function.
• Use a multimeter to check the alternator output again, ensuring it charges the battery within the range of 13.7 to 14.7 volts.
