Battery: Testing and Inspection
Remedy For A Discharged Battery
Fusible Link For 2.0L Engine (Non-Turbo)
When booster cables are used to start the engine when the battery is completely discharged and then the vehicle is immediately driven without waiting
for the battery to recharge itself to some extent, the engine may misfire or stall, making driving difficult. This happens because ABS consumes a great
amount of current for its self-check function. The remedy is to either allow the battery to recharge sufficiently, or to remove the fusible link for ABS
circuit, thus disabling the anti-lock brake system. The ABS warning light will illuminate when the fusible link (for ABS) is removed. After the battery
has sufficiently charged, install the fusible link and restart the engine; then check to be sure the ABS warning light is not illuminated.
