Honda Accord: Checking the Battery
Check the battery condition monthly. Look at the test indicator window and check the terminals for corrosion.
The battery condition is being monitored by the sensor on the negative terminal. If there is a problem with the sensor, the warning message on the information display*/multiinformation display* will let you know. Have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
If your vehicle's battery is disconnected or goes dead:
• The audio system is disabled.
• The clock resets.
• The navigation system* is disabled.
