Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface with the parking brake engaged.
  • Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to ensure safety.
2. Inspect Battery Connections
  • Remove the battery cover if applicable.
  • Use a socket set to check the tightness of the battery terminals.
  • Clean any corrosion using a mixture of baking soda and water, then dry thoroughly before reassembly.
3. Battery Voltage Check
