Battery: Specifications
BATTERY INSPECTIONWARNING:
- Since battery acid is toxic, be careful when handling the battery.
- Since battery acid is highly corrosive, be careful not to allow it to contact clothing or the vehicle.
- In case battery acid contacts skin, eyes, or clothing, flush it immediately with running water. Especially if the acid gets in the eyes, flush with water for more than 15 min and get prompt medical attention.
Electrolyte specific gravity
1. Measure the electrolyte specific gravity using a hydrometer.
- If it is less than the specification, recharge the battery. (See BATTERY RECHARGING.)
Battery electrolyte specific gravity: [20 °C (68 °F)]

Back-up current
CAUTION: Operating electrical loads while the back-up current is being measured can damage the tester.
NOTE: For vehicles with the immobilizer system, the system periodically shifts synchronization of the security light flashing. Therefore, 45 mA (0.1 s) current is supplied when the security light is illuminated, and 25 mA (2 s) current is supplied when the security light is not illuminated. In addition, the measuring instrument, which shows the average value, indicates around 30 mA.
Battery back-up current
Vehicles with immobilizer system: 25 - 45 mA
Vehicles without immobilizer system: 30 mA or less
