Battery System - Battery Reconnection

BATTERY RECONNECTION

NOTE: This reconnection procedure is to be performed anytime the battery has been disconnected.





1. Connect the battery negative cable (2) to the battery post and tighten the clamp nut.
2. Install the rear compartment floor trim panel.

CAUTION: Once the battery has been connected, review and perform the following information as applicable.


EXPRESS FRONT WINDOW(S)

NOTE: Make sure battery is fully charged before proceeding.

NOTE: This needs to be completed every time the window glass is adjusted/removed, motor replaced, and or regulator replaced.

CLEAR/DENORMALIZE USING A SCAN TOOL
To clear/denormalize the door module memory, using a scan tool under the Miscellaneous menu look for Denormalization Window Command, and follow the directions.
RELEARN/NORMALIZE USING A SCAN TOOL
To relearn/normalize the door module memory, using a scan tool under the Miscellaneous menu look for Normalization Window command, and follow the directions.
CLEAR/DENORMALIZE, RELEARN/NORMALIZE WITHOUT A SCAN TOOL
Hold up/down the window switch for at least 30 seconds until the DTC is set for stuck switch. This will clear the memory of the calibration information (CLEAR/DENORMALIZE). Proceed to relearn/normalize.
1. Put a battery charger on vehicle.
2. If equipped with express-up/express-down, reset the express-up/down module for the door window glass. The window switch on the corresponding door must be used to control the window. Do not use the master switch for the passenger window.
3. To calibrate, start by moving the window to the middle position.
4. Drive the glass to the full-up position by pulling up on the window switch to its second detent and hold the switch until the glass is fully closed. Do not release the window switch. Continue to hold the window switch up for 2 seconds after the window glass is full closed.
5. Drive the glass to the full - down position by pushing down (depress) the window switch, (second detent if equipped with express-down) until the window glass is down for 2 seconds after the window glass is fully open. Do not release the window switch. Continue to hold the window switch down for 2 seconds after the window glass is fully open.
6. Check the operation of the express-up/ express-down feature.
7. If the express up/down doesn't work, repeat step # 3, waiting for 3 seconds.
8. Check that the window glass reverses when in the express-up mode by holding a pen in the path of the glass.
9. Once the proper operation of the express-up/express-down feature has been verified, clear all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's).

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP)

If the vehicle is equipped with ESP, once the battery is reconnected, the Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) within the Antilock Brake Module (ABM) needs to be calibrated. The SAS requires calibration (initialization) using the scan tool anytime the battery or an ABS (ESP) component has been disconnected for any length of time. If the SAS is not calibrated following battery reconnection, the ESP/BAS indicator lamp will flash continuously with no DTCs.

To calibrate (initialize), perform the following:

1. Position the front wheels straight ahead and center the steering wheel.
2. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle.
3. Follow the directions on the scan tool.
