You can Select Your Vehicle to check if BL034600AA fits your vehicle.

Precautions include turning off the engine and accessories, disconnecting the negative battery terminal, avoiding sparks, flames, or smoking near the battery, and charging it in a well-ventilated area. Eye protection and gloves are also essential.

The battery tray should be checked for good condition, and the hold-down clamp fasteners should be secure. For more comprehensive checks, consult the Haynes Automotive Electrical Manual.

Open the hood, disconnect the intelligent Battery Sensor (lBS) connector, then loosen the nut and disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Loosen the nut and disconnect the cable from the positive battery terminal. Remove the battery cover by pulling it straight up. Remove the battery hold-down clamp. Lift the battery up and out of the engine compartment. If you are replacing the battery, make sure you get one that's identical, with the same dimensions, amperage rating, cold cranking rating, etc. Installation is the reverse of removal. Always connect the positive cable first and the negative cable last.

Disconnect the cables in the reverse order and remove the battery hold-down clamp. Lift out the battery, being cautious of its weight.

Remove the air filter housing fresh air duct by rotating the retaining clips and taking out the duct. Disconnect the negative battery cable, followed by the positive cable, from the battery. Unscrew the bolt and remove the hold-down clamp from the bottom edge of the battery. Lift out the battery using special battery removal tools available at auto parts stores for easier handling. Installation involves connecting the positive cable first, followed by the negative cable. If equipped, transfer the battery insulator to the new battery when replacing.

The battery is located in the engine compartment, and the battery cables are accessible after opening the hood.

Corrosion can be removed with a baking soda solution. After removing the corrosion, rinse the area and cover damaged metal parts with zinc-based primer and paint.

To disconnect the battery, loosen the cable end nut of the remote negative terminal, disconnect the cable from the remote ground terminal, attach the plastic insulator portion of the cable to the stud, and reinstall the nut.

Remove the battery. Remove the four battery tray mounting bolts retaining the tray to the left front frame rail. Remove the battery tray through the wheel opening. Thoroughly wash the battery tray in clean water, then dry it with compressed air. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Open the hood, disconnect the intelligent Battery Sensor (lBS) connector, then loosen the nut and disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Loosen the nut and disconnect the cable from the positive battery terminal. Remove the battery cover by pulling it straight up. Remove the battery hold-down clamp. Lift the battery up and out of the engine compartment. If you are replacing the battery, make sure you get one that's identical, with the same dimensions, amperage rating, cold cranking rating, etc. Installation is the reverse of removal. Always connect the positive cable first and the negative cable last.

The battery is located in the engine compartment, and the battery cables are accessible after opening the hood.

You can determine the state of charge of the battery by measuring the specific gravity with a hydrometer or checking the built-in hydrometer (if applicable), or by using a digital voltmeter to check the charge. A fully charged battery should read 12.6 volts or higher.

Disconnect the negative battery cable first, followed by the positive cable, to avoid shorting the battery.

To install the new battery, simply reverse the removal process.

Measure the specific gravity with a hydrometer if the battery has removable cell caps. Some batteries have built-in hydrometers or can be checked with a digital voltmeter.

Always disconnect the negative cable first and hook it up last.

To disconnect the battery for service procedures requiring power to be cut from the vehicle, simply loosen the cable clamp nut and disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. It is important to isolate the cable end to prevent accidental contact with the battery terminal.
