Variable voltage control system (if so equipped)
CAUTION
● Do not ground accessories directly to
the battery terminal. Doing so will bypass
the variable voltage control system
and the vehicle battery may not
charge completely.
● Use electrical accessories with the engine
running to avoid discharging the
vehicle battery.
Your vehicle is equipped with a variable voltage control system. This system measures the amount of electrical discharge from the battery and controls voltage generated by the generator.
The current sensor is located near the battery along the negative battery cable. If you add electrical accessories to your vehicle, be sure to ground them to a suitable body ground such as the frame or engine block area.
