Battery Monitor System (BMS)
Low Level Vehicles
High Level Vehicles
Ford Ranger vehicles are equipped with a feature
called Battery Monitor System (BMS). This
system measures the battery load in order to
efficiently charge the battery while improving fuel
economy and emissions.
It is important to ensure any additional electrical
load or accessory is properly grounded to the
vehicle’s body, in order for the system to identify
the additional load. If a connection is made to the
battery negative terminal, the BMS will not
identify the load or charge. This may cause the
battery to be undercharged and consequently not
able to re-start the vehicle.
Auxiliary Battery fitted to vehicles with
a Battery Monitor System (BMS)
NOTE:
The addition of an auxiliary battery in a
vehicle with BMS would cause both batteries to
not reach a state of full charge. The system will
only allow charging of the batteries during
deceleration. Refer to Dual Batteries with Battery
Monitor System (BMS) in this section.
NOTE:
Disabling the BMS will negate the fuel
economy benefit provided by the BMS.
NOTE:
Auxiliary loads must always be connected
to the vehicle ground and not to the battery
negative terminal.
NOTE:
Ensure the auxiliary battery connection is
safely secured using suitable fixtures to reduce
vibration damage or contact with surrounding
components.
For vehicles equipped with BMS, an additional
battery can be connected using one of the
following methods:
1. Use an in-vehicle battery charger (DC/DC
converter) such as BCDC1220 model from
Redarc (www.redarc.com.au) (or similar),
connected via an additional terminal to the
