The battery in your vehicle is responsible for starting the engine and powering the vehicle while it is running. This includes providing power to both the engine and electronic accessories. As so much depends on a reliable and fully charged battery, it is a good idea to test the battery if the vehicle is having problems starting, the seasons are changing or you will be taking a long drive.

You need a voltmeter and protective gloves to test the battery. First, connect the positive red voltmeter lead to the positive red battery terminal. Then, connect the negative black lead to the negative black terminal. If the reading is 12.2 or below, the battery is bad.

If your battery shows a low reading when you test it, bring it in to our Honda service and parts facility, and we will check the battery and replace it if needed. We can provide any other vehicle services you require while you are here.
