This service information provides basic Q-85/T-110 battery handling procedures. Complete service information can be found in MS3 online or Workshop Manual (section 13-17).

Q85/T110 BATTERY MAINTENANCE

1. Maintain battery charge during vehicle storage.
   • Charge the battery regularly even though there’s no electrical load applied.
   • If battery is left discharged for long periods, battery failure may occur.
2. Maintain battery charge during parts inventory.
   • Charge the battery regularly during parts stock.
   • If battery is left discharged for long periods, battery failure may occur.

Q85/T110 BATTERY TEST AND BATTERY CHARGING

1. Remove the battery from the vehicle.

CAUTION: Do not charge the battery in the vehicle. Vehicle electrical system damage may occur.

2. Remove the battery filler caps.
3. Adjust battery fluid level if needed using distilled water.
4. Connect the GR8 Battery Management System using the large cables.
5. From the MAIN MENU, select Battery Test or Diagnostic.

6.  From the LOCATION screen, select OUT OF VEHICLE.

7. From the BATTERY TYPE screen, select I-ELOOP.

8. From the TEST USING screen, select Q-85.

9. GR8 battery test is in process. This may take several minutes to complete.

Q85/T110 BATTERY VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT

Battery voltage can only be measured on a battery that has not been recently charged. If the battery was recently charged, wait 6 hours or more before checking the battery voltage.

1. Is the battery voltage 12.4 volts or higher?
   • Yes – The battery is charged.
   • No – The battery requires charging. Proceed to Q85/T110 BATTERY TEST AND BATTERY CHARGING.

Q85/T110 BATTERY SPECIFIC GRAVITY MEASUREMENT

Battery condition can be ascertained using this method; however, the preferred method is to use the GR8 Battery Management System. Refer to Q85/T110 BATTERY TEST AND BATTERY CHARGING.

1. Mix the electrolyte solution on all 6 cells by using a siphon to suction the electrolyte from the battery and then put it back in.
2. Use a scope type specific gravity battery meter (refractometer) to measure all six cells.
3. Is the cell with lowest electrolyte specific gravity 1.25 or more?
   • – Yes – The battery is fully charged.
   • – No – Go to next step.
4. Is the cell with lowest electrolyte specific gravity less than 1.17?
   • – Yes – The battery may be faulty. If however, the battery is under warranty, you must use the Midtronics GR-8 tester as it uses a more accurate method of testing. Proceed to Q85/Q110 BATTERY TEST AND BATTERY CHARGING to accurately test the battery. If the Midtronics GR-8 tester fails the battery it will generate a battery failure code for warranty claim submission.
   • – No – The battery requires charging. Proceed to Q85/T110 BATTERY TEST AND BATTERY CHARGING.

Q85/T110 BATTERY INSPECTION WITHOUT GR-8

If the GR8 Battery Management System is not available to test a Q85/T110 battery, refer to MS3 online or Workshop Manual section 01-17.

Q85/T110 BATTERY CHARGING WITHOUT GR-8

If the GR8 Battery Management System is not available to charge a Q85/T110 battery, refer to MS3 online or Workshop Manual section 01-17.

Q85/T110 BATTERY JUMP START

If a jump start is necessary, do not remove the jumper cables or drive the vehicle until the instrument cluster Multi-Information Display (Mazda6) or touchscreen (Mazda3) warning message i-ELOOP charging is no longer displayed. This process takes about 3 minutes to complete.

Q85/T110 NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECT

1. Record audio memory.

2. Switch the ignition off.
3. Disconnect the current sensor connector (A) from the current sensor (B).
4. Disconnect the negative battery cable terminal (C).

Q85/T110 NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE CONNECTION

1. Connect the negative battery cable terminal (C).
2. Connect the current sensor connector (A) to the current sensor (B).
3. Switch the ignition ON.
4. Perform the power window system initial setting.
5. Perform the sunroof system initial setting (if equipped).
6. Set the clock.
7. Set audio memory.
8. Perform the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) initialization.

Q85/T110 OPERATION REQUIRED AFTER BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When replacing the battery, perform the following procedure. When replacing the PCM simultaneously, perform the PCM configuration first.

1. Switch the ignition ON (engine off).
2. Shift the selector lever to the N position.
3. Perform the following work with the brake pedal depressed.
   1. Depress the accelerator pedal for 5 s or more.
   2. Verify that the charging system warning light and the master warning light flash.
   3. Depress and release the accelerator pedal 3 times.
   4. Verify that the charging system warning light illuminates and the master warning light turns off.
4. Switch the ignition OFF and disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to Q85/T110 NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECT.
5. Connect the negative battery cable. Refer to Q85/T110 NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE CONNECTION.
