Battery Interrupt Igniter N253
CAUTION:
-
Vehicles with battery in luggage compartment is equipped with a battery isolator to increase crash safety. In the event of a collision, the
airbag control module triggers a separation, which disrupts the power supply wiring to the starter and to the engine electronics. The
battery cut-off takes place pyrotechnically through a very small explosive charge. To prevent accidentally triggering a separation when
working on the battery or battery cut-off, you must first disconnect the battery.
-
Observe safety precautions when working on battery isolation system.
-
Observe notes for disposal of battery isolator units.
Depending on equipment, Battery Interrupt Igniter N253 is installed in luggage compartment in conjunction with starter battery and is integrated into
rear right main fuse holder F. Main fuse holder F is located under formed tool kit insert and vehicle jack.
NOTE:
-
Before disconnecting battery, retrieve code for radio units with anti-theft coding.
-
When disconnecting and connecting battery, the procedure must be followed as described.
-
If battery cut-off is deployed, Battery Interrupt Igniter N253 must be replaced.
