PDI PROCEDURES
Before Starting
Review these items:
•
Perfect Delivery documents, especially the information on battery maintenance and tire pressures
•
Checklist in the
PDI and Final Delivery Checklist
booklet
Make sure you record the PDI on the appropriate pages of the checklist. The PDI is not done until this bulletin and the
checklist are both complete. Note on the repair order any repairs or problems that cannot be fixed within a few minutes.
Remove all PDI items from the trunk and glove box.
NOTE: This model makes different sounds from what you might be used to hearing on other Accord models. You might
hear a fan sound from the rear seat when the high-voltage battery is being cooled. You might also hear a high-
frequency ringing from the front or the rear of the vehicle when in use. All of these sounds are normal.
1.
Fuel the Vehicle
Make sure the No. 21 BACKUP (10 A) fuse is installed before filling up the fuel tank (see “Install the Fuses”). If you do it
without that fuse installed, the fuel gauge will take much longer than normal to show an accurate reading.
If this happens, and you do not want to wait for the gauge to show the correct level, turn the ignition to OFF and let the
vehicle sit for
10 minutes
. Install the fuse, then turn the ignition to ON. The fuel gauge will show the correct level.
2.
Install the Fuses
To keep the 12-volt battery from draining during vehicle shipping, the No. 21 BACKUP (10 A) and No. 22 AUDIO (15 A)
fuses are removed from the under-hood fuse box and stored in the glove box.
Make sure the ignition is turned to OFF, and wait for at least
1 minute
. Then, install the two fuses as shown.
