MFD Battery Replacement

Models equipped with the clock feature 
have a battery to power the clock. If the 
clock function of the MFD isn't working 
properly, replace the battery. Replace-
ment batteries are available from your 
dealer.

1. Remove the plenum from the under-

side of the hood.

2. Locate the black battery compart-

ment. It has a red wire and a brown 
wire with a white stripe. It's located 
about three inches down the main 
harness from the point where the 
harness connects to the MFD.

3. Cut the plastic cable tie from the 

outside of the compartment.

4. Carefully cut the bottom of the compartment (opposite the wires) to 

separate the heat-sealed seams. Squeeze the corners of the compart-
ment inward so the battery is visible.

Tip:

Note the orientation of the battery before removing it. An incorrectly 
installed battery will not maintain the clock.
