Ok .Before disconnect old battery you can connect with another cable +battery old with + new battery and in the same you can do and negative.

This doesn't happen in all cars btw, in my dad's toyota 2019 fortuner we changed the battery at home with no problems and also my mom's 2016 jeep renegade, and neither also in my v-strom650, that probably happens mostly in bmw cars

I'm thinking this vid is BS. The only thing that happens is the computers will have to relearn a few things and you will fail emissions testing until several complete heat cold cycles (usually about 4) are completed. This is done to prevent cheating emissions by clearing bad codes just before test time.

This is fundamentally incorrect. The firmware in the various control modules will simply run their setup routines once power is reapplied. All data in their flash memory will be retained. Items like fuel trims and transmission shift trims will be lost, since they're not stored in flash, but the vehicle will relearn them after only a few miles of driving.
@TopicMotor 2 күн бұрын
It certainly will. Unless the ECU or the battery control module will set the limp mode or will ask you to "register" the new battery.
@ads1035 2 күн бұрын
Again, fundamentally incorrect. Limp mode may be triggered by low voltages - indeed, my CTS has a weak battery mode that disables the HVAC blower and other functions if a low battery is used to start the engine, so that it can recharge the battery more quickly. But if a healthy battery is connected to a car, regardless of age, then the car will function properly. There's no logic in a lead acid battery TO register.

Sorry, but what you are saying applies perfectly to older cars. I literally had the limp issue in a MB recently exactly because of battery being disconnected for 5 minutes. This gave me the idea for this video. Plus research in forums proved the idea.

I changed my battery in my Chevy Volt 2014. You can supply the car with 12V with connectors in the front of the vehicle and change the battery in the back of the car. You just have to make sure you don't touch a metal part with the battery connectors while you change the battery. Special battery which I got at Canadian Tire. Thanks for the video!

BMW's do this all the time. If you drain the battery on accident and try to charge it or jump it, you could possibly damage the hardware or software in the Lighting Module. Meaning none of your lights or mirrors work properly/if at all. My newer Ford doesn't give a crap lol it's known to drain the 12v battery if not used for a week due to manufacturer sucking at electrical design. So I just jump the battery and my PHEV is good to go. This was a weekly occurrence for a year for the previous owner. I use my car daily tho, so I don't get the issue.

@@TopicMotor well for example working on audi airbag system, you must disconnect battery while ignition on. I presume issues with MB was not for disconnecting battery, but disconnecting in a wrong way or order. Maybe I’m wrong, but have never seen issue like this before.

I agree... this is FUD... maybe if the car already had problems (safe bet any MB has a pile of codes already), it would act up, but that's not the battery. With all the xtra electronics, and stop/start new cars drain batteries like crazy, if that was enough to put a fork in it no new car would make it through the warranty. (I"m talking about lead acid 12v starter batteries in ICE cars here...)

Ugh, no. These computers are not built to be battery “reliant.” And these modules are far from fragile to break by mere removal of battery. They’d be more prone to failure in sudden loss of electrical power or surge, but the likelihood of it breaking by disconnecting the battery while parked, is very low if not nil.
@TopicMotor 2 күн бұрын
I don't say they will break or burn. But they may reset which will lead to problems and minus 150-200 bucks from your pocket. Depends highly on the model and year though.
@markdejesus3104 Күн бұрын
@@TopicMotor it is normal for computers to “reset” hence resulting into problems due to disconnected battery is very low or near impossible. If these computers break down due to frequent resetting, it’s not due to the disconnection of power source, but due to low quality materials used in building its internal components.

Hi there I started getting fault messages on the Dashboard of my 2020 mazda 3 saloon. I had the dealership hook it up to their Diagnostic machine which showed the battery needed replacing which they did. When i drove away the same fault messages came back so they hooked it up again to the diagnostic machine which didn't show any faults and i should monitor it over the weekend. Every day i drive the car the fault messages keep appearing eg Radar fault and driver safety faults. Any ideas before i take it back to the dealership?
@TopicMotor 10 күн бұрын
Hey! It really may just need to recalibrate. But the problem may be with the radar itself or with the software - these issues are very common in Mazda vehicles. If the message never goes away, the radar wiring also may be affected.

You should have a look at the full list of recommended types of oil in the manual. But I doubt that the 1.8T has 0w20 among recommendations. I would change that oil since the difference between 5w40 and 0w20 is really significant.

I have a new Subaru impreza with CVT transmission. All new Subaru's have Stop/Start which cuts engine when foot is on brake when stopped. This obviously disengages the Transmission. Thus this feature should never be disabled as many people are doing cause they don't like it. In the past I thought it was normal to stop your automatic car and keep the motor going and leave it in drive. If it was stopped too long I would put it in neutral. Seems the Stop/Start feature is saving the CVT transmission. Correct??

Yes, start stop will prolong the life of the CVT a little. But the video is more about conventional transmissions. CVTs mainly fail due to dirty fluid, towing, or just mileage/age.
