Battery Tray: Description
The battery is mounted in a molded plastic battery tray and support unit (Fig 1 ) located in the right front corner of the engine compartment. The battery tray and support unit is secured at the rear with a nut to a stud on the front wheelhouse inner panel, at the outboard side with a screw to the side cowl reinforcement panel, and at the front with a screw through a U-nut on a bracket of the radiator support.
The battery tray and support unit also includes three upright stanchions that are molded into the outboard side of the unit. These stanchions support the Power Distribution Center (PDC). Refer to Power Distribution Center in SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS for more information on the PDC.
A hole in the bottom of the battery tray is fitted with a battery temperature sensor. Refer to Battery Temperature Sensor in CHARGING for more information on the battery temperature sensor. Refer to BATTERY HOLDDOWN for more information on the battery hold down hardware.
