These conditions include storage period, temperature, parasitic drain, and battery load. Because of these factors, battery inspection and maintenance are required in order to ensure proper operation and optimal battery life. As a matter of policy, Toyota does not provide battery warranty coverage for discharged and/or failed batteries due to lack of maintenance. It is the dealer’s responsibility to maintain the specified State-Of-Charge (SOC) of the vehicle’s battery while in stock and ensure proper SOC at delivery. To eliminate customer service concerns due to an undercharged battery during the first few weeks of ownership, All dealers should test the auxiliary (12V) battery and recharge, if necessary, no more than 48 hours before delivery to the customer. CAUTION Refer to the precautions listed in the DSS-5000 Instruction Manual and DCA-8000 Instruction Manual located at TIS – Diagnostics – Tools & Equipment – Battery Diagnostics. © 2023 Toyota Motor Sales, USA T-SB-0024-23 Rev1 May 26, 2023 Page 3 of 5 Battery Maintenance During PDS Warranty Information OP CODE DESCRIPTION TIME OFP T1 T2 N/A Not Applicable to Warranty – – – – Required Tools & Equipment SPECIAL SERVICE TOOLS (SST) PART NUMBER QTY DSS-5000 Battery Diagnostic Tool* DSS-5000P T 1 DCA-8000 Battery Diagnostic Tool* DCA-8000P T 1 *Essential SST.

ALWAYS perform the battery test directly on the battery terminals, avoid testing the battery using alternate charging posts or grounds. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR HYBRID VEHICLES In hybrid and electric vehicles, the DCS-8000 Battery Diagnostic Tool is to be used ONLY on the auxiliary (12V) battery. NOTE ALL vehicles MUST be inspected using the DCA-8000 Battery Diagnostic Tool no more than 48 hours BEFORE delivery to the customer. Ensure ALL doors stay closed and lights remain OFF during battery testing and charging. For details on how to use the battery diagnostic station, refer to the DSS-5000 Instruction Manual and DCA-8000 Instruction Manual located at TIS – Diagnostics – Tools & Equipment – Battery Diagnostics. Battery Inspection Results Once the test completes, proceed with one of the procedures below according to the battery condition results. Battery Condition: “GOOD BATTERY” Return the battery to service. Battery Condition: “GOOD-RECHARGE” Fully charge the battery using the DCA-8000 Battery Diagnostic Tool’s Manual Charge mode and return it to service. Battery Condition: “BAD CELL-REPLACE” Replace the battery. Battery Condition: “REPLACE BATTERY” Replace the battery. Battery Condition (DSS-5000 ONLY): “USE DCA-8000 ADVANCED BATTERY DIAGNOSTICS” Test the auxiliary (12V) battery using the DCA-8000 Battery Diagnostic Tool’s Advanced Battery Test mode. © 2023 Toyota Motor Sales, USA T-SB-0024-23 Rev1 May 26, 2023 Page 5 of 5 Battery Maintenance During PDS Battery Replacement Procedure If a vehicle battery needs to be replaced for a warrantable condition, complete a Warranty Battery Label and affix it to the failed battery for proper warranty parts and claim processing. Include the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and warranty code on the Warranty Battery Label. Figure 1. Periodic Battery Maintenance In addition to this pre-delivery battery test, periodic battery maintenance is still required for stored vehicles. If your dealership is in an area subject to extreme temperatures (hot or cold), periodic maintenance may need to be performed more frequently. If the vehicle is stored for over 30 days, be sure to follow Long-Term Vehicle Storage Guidelines. To reduce parasitic battery drain on vehicles, other than Mirai, that are placed in storage for one week or more, the negative (–) battery cable should ALWAYS be disconnected to reduce battery discharge. When the negative (–) battery cable is reconnected, check and reset electrical components, such as the clock, radio, etc., and re-initialize ALL applicable systems/functions. Refer to the appropriate model and year Repair Manual for specific details. © 2023 Toyota Motor Sales, USA
