2020 GT500 Battery Charging, Jumping and Replacement

[Jmeo]

What coolant tank is that?

It' the exact same tank as Shelby's, but I bought it from C&E Racing (unbranded) in polished aluminum, then had it powder coated.

C&E makes the Shelby tanks.

Battery Charging


If the reset is not carried out, when the battery is charged by connecting the charger to the negative battery terminal, it takes approximately 8 hours for the BCM to learn the new battery state of charge.

During this 8 hour period, the vehicle must be undisturbed, with no doors opened or keyless entry button presses. If the vehicle is used before the BCM is allowed to learn the new battery state of charge, engine off load shedding can still occur and a message may be displayed.

Thank you for taking the time to post, start such a complete and informative thread.

Not allowing the BCM to learn the new charge level, the error message is just an anomaly. And has nothing to do with system operation. No need to answer if is yes.

Digital sure has changed how a battery the charging system interact.

Well done Earl ..
