DANGER
Jump starting a weak battery that is cracked,
frozen, has low electrolyte level, or an
open/shorted battery cell, can cause an
explosion resulting in serious personal injury.
Do Not jump start a weak battery if these
conditions exist.
2. Make sure the booster battery is a good and fully
charged lead acid battery at 12.6 volts or greater.
Use properly sized jumper cables with short lengths
to reduce voltage drop between systems. Make sure
the cables are color coded or labeled for the correct
polarity.
CAUTION
Connecting the jumper cables incorrectly
(wrong polarity) can immediately damage the
EFI system.
Be certain of battery terminal polarity and
jumper cable polarity when hooking up batteries.
WARNING
Batteries contain acid and produce explosive
gases.
•
Shield the eyes and face from the batteries
at all times.
•
Do Not lean over the batteries.
Note:
Be sure the vent caps are tight and level.
Place a damp cloth, if available, over any vent caps
on both batteries. Be sure the vehicles do not touch
and that both electrical systems are off and at the
same rated system voltage. These instructions are
for negative ground systems only.
3. Connect the positive (+) cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the discharged battery that is wired to the
starter or solenoid as shown in Figure 60.

positive terminal of the booster battery.
5. Connect the black negative (–) cable to the other
terminal (negative) of the booster battery.
6.
Make the final connection on the engine block
of the stalled vehicle (NOT to the negative
battery post) away from the battery and stand
back (Figure 62).
