NOTE: Before installing the battery tray, check the vent tube hose for any obstructions, kinks, or incorrect routing position.

NOTE: When the battery is disconnected or a new battery installed, the vehicle must relearn its adaptive shift strategy. During this relearning process shifts might be slightly firm, early or delayed. This operation is normal and will not affect the function or durability of the transaxle. Normal operation will return once these transaxle parameters are stored by the vehicle PCM.

Install the battery and tray. For additional information, refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES .
Check the correct operation with parking brake control engaged. The engine should start only in PARK or NEUTRAL. Backup lamps should illuminate in the REVERSE position.
