Checking battery - vehicles with battery monitor control unit -J367- or energy management control unit -J644- and data bus diagnostic interface -J533-
t  On some models, the electrical system is monitored by the energy management control unit -J644- or the battery monitor control unit -J367- in connection with the data bus diagnostic interface -J533- (allocation → Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations). The battery test for these vehicles is performed via „Guided Fault Finding“.
t  If is not possible to check the battery in the „Guided Fault Finding“ because of a partially or totally discharged battery, the charge status of the battery can be assessed quickly via „Checking battery by measuring current draw“.
t  Do not open maintenance-free batteries; this would invalidate the warranty.
  Caution
On the following models, checking the battery in „Guided Fault Finding“ is not possible because, depending on the version, the battery monitor control unit -J367- is installed but the data bus diagnostic interface -J533- is not:
