The information contained in this TSB supercedes TSB No. PG017–02.
TSB No. PG017–02 is now obsolete and should be discarded.
Introduction A battery in a stored vehicle is subject to conditions that can reduce its performance and
life. These conditions include storage period, temperature, parasitic drain, and battery
load. Because of these factors, battery inspection and maintenance are required in order
to ensure proper operation and optimal battery life.
As a matter of policy, Toyota does not provide battery warranty coverage for discharged
and/or failed batteries due to lack of maintenance. It is the dealer’s responsibility to
maintain the specified State of Charge (SOC) of the vehicle’s battery while in stock and
assure proper State of Charge (SOC) at delivery.
To eliminate customer service concerns due to an undercharged battery during the first
few weeks of ownership, all dealers should check battery State of Charge (SOC) and
recharge, if necessary, just prior to delivery (i.e., within 48 hours of delivery).
Applicable S All models and model years through current.

Battery Recommended Battery Maintenance:

Maintenance
In addition to this new pre–delivery battery test, a monthly battery inspection is still
required for stored vehicles. If your dealership is located in an area subject to extreme
temperatures (hot or cold), periodic maintenance may need to be performed more
frequently.
To reduce parasitic battery drain on vehicles in storage for one week or more, the
negative (–) battery cable should always be disconnected to reduce battery discharge.
When the negative (–) battery cable is reconnected, please check and reset electrical
components, such as the clock, radio, etc.
