Sensor, Intelligent Battery (IBS): Installation: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Dodge Charger and 2015 Dodge Charger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

Connecting the negative battery cable to the Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) must be done before installing on the battery post.

NOTE:

DO NOT use a hammer to tap down the sensor. Use a post spreader to open the post if reusing the existing sensor.

NOTE:

Avoid IBS rotation during tightening of M8 nut as to avoid contact of 2 way connector breakage when rotating in to the battery.

  1. Place the IBS onto the negative battery post and push the IBS down until properly seated on the cone of the post.
  2. Connect the negative battery cable to the IBS M8 stud and tighten to the proper specifications. Refer to SPECIFICATIONS .
    NOTE:

    M8 has much higher torque than the M6 clamp and can break IBS free if the M6 is tightened prior. 

  3. Secure the M6 pole clamp and tighten to the proper specifications. Refer to SPECIFICATIONS .
  4. Install 2 pin connector (Power & LIN) making sure there is no stress on the wires.
  5. Install the components removed to access the battery. Refer to BATTERY, INSTALLATION .
