Install the Fuses
The fuses are stored in the glove box.

In order to remove the under-hood fuse box cover 
without damaging it, you must release the tabs, raise 
the cover up slightly to clear the fuse box then slide it 
back toward the firewall, then tilt and remove the cover 
between the firewall and the crossbrace. If you attempt 
to remove the cover by pulling it over the airbox, it may 
be damaged.

Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0) or the 
vehicle is in OFF mode before installing the No. 21 
Backup (10 A) fuse. Once you install the fuse and turn 
ignition switch to ON (II) or press the Start/Stop button 
to select vehicle ON mode, the green light in the Start/
Stop button will go out (if applicable) and any DTCs will 
be cleared. Install the No. 22 Audio (10 A) fuse.

Check the Battery
To ensure long battery life and that the customer 
receives a fully-charged battery, it must be checked at 
these times:

• When the vehicle first arrives at the dealership

• During PDI, if done at a later date

• At regular intervals, if stored

• Just before delivering a vehicle to the customer

Test the battery with the ED-18 or GR8 battery tester 
using the instructions in Service Bulletin 88-023, 
Battery Testing and Replacement. Do not use the 
battery’s test indicator window to check its state of 
charge. If the ED-18 tester does not display GOOD 
BATTERY
, charge the battery using the GR8 Battery 
Diagnostic Station.

Write down the GOOD BATTERY 10-digit code in the 
Service History booklet. During the PDI, write down the 
code in the “Under Hood (Engine Cold)” section, and 
then, when the vehicle is delivered to the customer, 
write down the code in the “Final Inspection 
(At Delivery)” section.

Fuel the Vehicle
Make sure the No. 21 Backup (10 A) fuse is installed 
before filling up the fuel tank. If you do not install the 
fuse first before filling, the fuel gauge will take much 
longer than normal to display an accurate reading. If 
you filled the fuel tank prior to installing the fuse, but 
you don’t want to wait for the gauge to display the level, 
remove the fuses, then let the vehicle sit for 10 minutes 
with the ignition switch in LOCK (0) or with the vehicle 
in OFF mode.
