Montero Sport 2WD V6-3.0L SOHC (1997)
Battery: Testing and Inspection
Discharged Battery
Fusible Link
The ABS system consumes a large amount of battery current for its self-check function. If the battery is completely discharged and booster cables are
used to start the engine, the engine must be allowed to idle for a few minutes to recharge. If the battery does not recharge, the engine may misfire or stall.
To prevent this condition, allow the engine to idle for a few minutes before driving the vehicle, or temporarily disable the ABS system by removing the
fusible link for the ABS circuit. The ABS warning light will illuminate when the ABS fusible link is removed. After the battery is recharged, reinstall the
ABS fusible link and check that the ABS warning light is not illuminated.
