Reserve Capacity Message
The battery has sufficient reserve capacity
to provide power for the electronics
systems in the vehicle.
The reserve capacity of the battery is
low. Low reserve capacity of the battery
could impact the ability of the battery to
provide power for the electronics systems
in the vehicle, such as console screen,
entertainment systems, power seats, etc.
Recommend replacing the battery.
System conditions have prevented a test of
the battery reserve capacity in this vehicle.
Before attempting any retest, ensure that
all vehicle accessory loads are off, the key
is not in the ignition, and the doors are
closed.
