  Q: What Precautions Should Be Taken When Working with Car Battery to Prevent Personal Injury and Ensure Safety on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

  A:

  Protective measures should be taken because the hazardous gases from batteries can result in injuries thus keep all flames and sparks and lighted objects at a safe distance from the battery and wear eye protection while facing the battery in a ventilated area. The back up power supply requires complete depletion before technicians can repair any front or side air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) components or work on components near the front or side Air Bag Sensors including doors, instrument panels, consoles, door latches, strikers, seats and Hood Latches to prevent accidental deployment and resulting injuries. The process of depleting back up power supply energy starts with ground cable removal from the battery followed by a one-minute wait period while ensuring no auxiliary batteries remain energized. To raise a battery you should employ a battery carrier or handle it by different corners while keeping your hands on each point to stop end wall stress that could force acid through vent caps. The sulfuric acid in batteries requires children to remain away and safeguards your eyes when working near the battery and damage skin or eyes or clothing from acid contact. Immediately after acid contact users should wash the affected area with water during a 15-minute period followed by professional medical assistance. A person who has ingested acid must immediately contact a doctor for treatment. It is essential to begin battery disconnect by unscrewing the battery ground cable first followed by removal of the battery positive cable. The installation steps for the battery involve performing the opposite actions used for removal. The vehicle will demonstrate abnormal driving behavior after battery connection and disconnection until its adaptive learning process is completed through driving operation.

  Q: How to Service and Repair Car Battery on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

  A:

  The first step for servicing and repairing the battery requires the disconnection of Battery Cables. Starting with the battery heat shield removal you will proceed to remove the hold-down bolt together with its bracket. Handle the battery carefully while lifting because applying strong pressure on end walls makes acid escape through vent caps thus causing possible harm to your person so use a battery carrier or lift the battery with hands positioned on opposite corners. The battery service process requires removing the battery, then reinstalling it through an opposite order of removal steps.
