1) Most models hold the battery in the engine bay, under the
hood, in one of the front corners. See battery location
①
and

in Figure 3.1.1.
2) To balance uneven weight distribution, some manufacturers
hold the engine in the trunk. See battery location
⑤
,
⑥
, and
⑦
in Figure 3.1.1. In this case, the battery may have a plastic
cover that should be removed prior to any testing.
3) For some models, the battery might be stored underneath the
rear seat. See battery location
④
in Figure 3.1.1.
4) For other vehicles, the battery can be located underneath the
passenger seat. See battery location
③
in Figure 3.1.1.
WARNING:
DO NOT TEST THROUGH THE JUMPSTART POSTS. For
models that hold the battery under the seat or in the trunk,
the manufacturer usually includes jumpstart connector
conductor posts under the hood (see Figure 3.1.2) to make
jumpstarting easier. However, to ensure data accuracy and
operation safety, DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY TESTER
TO THE JUMPSTART POSTS.
