Important:
The cable leads must be installed correctly to prevent low voltage DTCs. It is recommended that the disassembly and reassembly be performed
at the same time to ensure reinstalling the cables in the correct location. In the event that the battery cable routing is in question, it is important
to remember that the battery cable stud and plate covers up (not visible) the polarity indicator in the plastic case. The polarity that is visible is
for the terminal NEXT to the stud. This visible polarity indicator is NOT for the battery stud. This was covered in the BAS hybrid training.
