Effective immediately, all 12V batteries may be tested using the hand held battery tester 9513030 \(BT3300\). The VIDA test is still available but no longer required. For battery replacements under warranty, the code generated by the BT3300 must be manually copied into the repair order text. It must also be printed and attached to the hard copy of the repair order. - [TJ32288.1.1\-2017](/bulletins/10167844.md), 2019-11-18, Service bulletin: EQUIPMENT; ENGINE; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY; EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY. This is a Technical Journal: Low Battery Message, Engine Remote Start inop, flat 12V battery Service: The most recent VCM software release can cause any or all of the above symptoms. \*The current solution is to install VCM repair software by following the procedure below: 1. Perform a Total Upgrade according to TJ 31543 to bring all vehicle nodes to the latest software status. The Upgrades list in VIDA should be empty before proceeding. \*2. Download the appropriate SP below to prevent the above symptoms and re\-enable ERS XC90: SP 31676890, CMQ VCM Fix S90: SP 31676891, CMQ VCM Fix 3. Drive the vehicle over 20mph to release the VCM from diagnostic mode. ERS will be unavailable until this is done. 4. Close and lock the vehicle for 3\+ minutes to allow the network to shut down before testing ERS. PLEASE NOTE \- DO NOT perform a Total Upgrade or VCM Upgrade after performing this procedure \(they will now appear in the Upgrades list\). Doing so will re\-install the affected software. \- Not all battery drains are caused by this issue. \*The repair software will be integrated with regular VCM Upgrade/Reload and Total Upgrade/PDS/Service 2.0 packages in the coming weeks \*This TJ will be updated when the updated software packages are available. - [TJ31220.1.4\-2016](/bulletins/10167813.md), 2019-11-18, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE.

This is a Technical Journal: Low battery State of Charge due to FMDM disturbance. When viewing the Quiescient Current Statistics in VIDA, vehicles with a regular FMDM disturbance will often show a number of counts in the 400\-800mA range. If a vehicle with the latest software continues to have a low State of Charge and no cause can be found, replace the FMDM. Perform a Total Upgrade according to TJ 31543. The new FMDMs are not compatible with older CEM software. - [TJ26745.13.3\-201](/bulletins/10158663.md), 2019-04-15, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY.

This is a Parts Bulletin: 12 Volt support batteries, part number 30659531 must be maintained 9 months from the month of manufacture and every 9 months thereafter.To maintain the battery, connect the battery to an appropriate 12V battery charger. Please follow all precautions that apply when charging a larger main lead\-acid battery. The battery will self\-discharge over time and if allowed to be left at a sufficiently low voltage, it will become permanently damaged. The battery must have a minimum voltage of 9 volts to be installed in a vehicle. - [PB31\-004\-2018\-08](/bulletins/10156283.md), 2019-04-01, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY.
