TQI PROCEDURES
NOTE: Make sure you record the TQI on the
appropriate pages of the vehicle's maintenance journal.
The TQI procedure is not finished until this service
bulletin and the maintenance journal checklist are both
completed.
Install the Fuses
To prevent battery drain during vehicle shipment, the
No. 15 fuse (10 A, Backup) and the No. 16 fuse (7.5 A,
Interior Light) are removed from the under-hood fuse/
relay box and stored in the glove box. Install these
fuses. Make sure there are no DTCs.
7.5 A INTERIOR LIGHT FUSE
Check the Battery
To ensure long battery life and that the client receives a
fully charged battery, the battery should be checked in
these instances:
• When the vehicle first arrives at the dealership
• During the TQI (if done at a later time)
• During regular intervals
• Just before delivering the vehicle to the client
Test the battery with the ED-18 battery tester using the
instructions in Service Bulletin 88-016, Battery Testing
and Replacement. Do not use the battery's test
indicator window to check its state of charge. If the
ED-18 tester does not show GOOD BATTERY, charge
the battery (refer to Service Bulletin 89-006, Battery
Maintenance at Dealers), then recheck it.
Write down the GOOD BATTERY 10-digit code in the
maintenance journal: During the TQI, write down the
code in the "Under Hood (Engine Cold)" section, and
then when the vehicle is delivered to the client, write
down the code in the "Final Inspection (At Delivery)"
section.
