	Battery Diagnostic Flow 

	Vehicle parasitic current inspection 
	
		| 1. | 
			Turn the all electric devices OFF, and then turn 
			the ignition switch OFF. | 
	
		| 2. | 
			Close all doors except the engine hood, and then 
			lock all doors. 
			
				| (1) | 
					Disconnect the hood switch connector. |  
			
				| (3) | 
					Close the doors or remove the door switches. |  | 
	
		| 3. | 
			Wait a few minutes until the vehicle’s electrical 
			systems go to sleep mode. 
			
				| 
					For an accurate measurement of a vehicle 
					parasitic current, all electriacl systems should go to sleep 
					mode. (It takes at least one hour or at most one day.) However, 
					an approximate vehicle parasitic current can be measured after 
					10~20 minutes. |  | 
	
		| 4. | 
			Connect an ammeter in series between the battery 
			(-) terminal and the ground cable, and then disconnect the clamp from 
			the battery (-) terminal slowly. 
			
				| 
					Be careful that the lead wires of an ammeter 
					do not come off from the battery (-) terminal and the ground 
					cable to prevent the battery from being reset. In case the battery 
					is reset, connect the battery cable again, and then start the 
					engine or turn the ignition switch ON for more than 10 sec. 
					Repeat the procedure from No. 1. 
					To prevent the battery from being reset during 
					the inspection,  
					
						| 1) | 
							Connect a jump cable between the 
							battery (-) terminal and the ground cable. |  
					
						| 2) | 
							Disconnect the ground cable from 
							the battery (-) terminal.  |  
					
						| 3) | 
							Connect an ammeter between the battery 
							(-) terminal and the ground cable. |  
					
						| 4) | 
							After disconnecting the jump cable, 
							read the current value of the ammeter.  |  |  
		 | 
	
		| 5. | 
			Read the current value of the ammeter. 
		 
			
				| A. | 
					If the parasitic current is over the limit 
					value, search for abnormal circuit by removing a fuse one by 
					one and checking the parasitic current.  |  
			
				| B. | 
					Check the parasitic current again, and search 
					for suspected unit by removing a unit connected with the abnormal 
					circuit one by one.  |  
			
				| 
 
					Limit value (after 
					10~20 min.) : Below 50mA

		1.
		
		
			Make sure the ignition switch and all accessories 
			are in the OFF position.
		
	
	
		
		2.
