Sensor, Intelligent Battery (IBS): Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Chrysler 300 and 2019 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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 battery cable nut to avoid breakage if the IBS rotates 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.

    NOTE:

    The negative battery has much higher torque than that of the pole clamp and can break IBS free if not stabilized when tightening.
