NOTE
When the ignition switch is set to the OFF
position, the electrical components are not
energized except for the MCM (Master Chassis
Module), the battery equalizer, the preheater
system and some electronic modules; which are
energized during 15 minutes after the ignition
has been set to the OFF position. Prior to
working on one of these electrical components,
set the battery master switch in the main power
compartment to the OFF position. If the vehicle
will not be operated for a long period (more than 2
weeks), it is recommended, in order to prevent
the batteries from discharging, to trip the main
circuit breakers located in the main power
compartment to stop the small current drawn by
the radio preset station memory, the MCM
memory and the instrument cluster clock. Note
that the radio station presets will be erased,
same thing for the diagnostic codes history and
the instrument cluster clock will have to be
reset.
