QUOTE(zeone @ Jan 9 2014, 05:46 PM) Juz2share... Just make sure when doing it, doesn't damage the ecu/tcu. Batt3 changeover tip : Start engine b4 start 2disconnect ole batt3... Keep engine running while replacing with new batt3... Turn off engine only when changeover completed... Why? Eliminate effects/changes to ECU/TCU/Radio/etc Settings possibly caused by electrical supply cutoff during changeover... True? Anyway, in my case 2day, it worked!! Note : Abv was done (& explained 2me) by Tyre/Batt3 Shop boss... Can do, but the chance of damaging it is higher. Told by my 40+ years of experience lecturer in automotive. |

Told by my 40+ years of experience lecturer in automotive. best way? have the engine off, have a spare battery, hook it up with your car +/- cables using extra cable/clamps (onto the existing car +/- cables), proceed the replacement - voila no radio/ecu data wiped pros: less risk cons: you, or your workshop you visit require a spare battery lying around and 2 additional cable/clamps (most cars have jumper cables in their trunk, no?) |

Good suggestion there! TQ! However, wonder how many shop owners/staff wld follow such a procedure... To do ourselves, we wld need a spare batt3... Or at least a fren's car to "jump but not start" with...? |
