battery FORD SUPER DUTY 2010 2.G Diesel Supplement Manual

JUMP STARTING YOUR VEHICLE (E-SERIES ONLY)
The following procedure is for E-Series vehicles only. F-Super
Duty vehicles equipped with the 6.4L diesel engine can be jump
started using the same procedure as a gasoline engine; refer to
yourOwner’s Guidefor the jump starting procedure.
WARNING:The gases around the battery can explode if
exposed to flames, sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could
result in injury or vehicle damage.
WARNING:Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can burn skin,
eyes and clothing, if contacted.
Do not attempt to push-start your vehicle. Automatic
transmissions do not have push-start capability; damage to the
automatic transmission may result.
Preparing your vehicle
When the batteries are disconnected or new batteries are installed, the
transmission must relearn its shift strategy. As a result, the transmission
may have firm and/or soft shifts. This operation is considered normal and
will not affect function or durability of the transmission. Over time, the
adaptive learning process will fully update transmission operation.
1.Use only a 12–volt supply to start your vehicle.
2. Do not disconnect the batteries of the disabled vehicle as this could
damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
3. Park the booster vehicle close to the passenger side of the disabled
vehicle making sure the two vehiclesdo nottouch. Set the parking
brake on both vehicles.
Note:This vehicle has two frame-mounted batteries located on the
passenger side frame rail, behind the front passenger door. A battery
positive (+) jumper stud is located on the frame rail behind the rear
most battery box.

battery cables. Ensure that accessible vent caps are tight and level.
5. Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect from any electrical
surges. Turn all other accessories off.
Connecting the jumper cables
1. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) jumper stud
located on the passenger side frame rail of the disabled vehicle.

4. Make the final connection of the negative (-) cable to an exposed
metal part of the disabled vehicle’s frame or chassis, away from the
batteries.Do notuse fuel lines, brake lines, exhaust components or the
battery trays asgroundingpoints.
WARNING:Do not connect the end of the second cable to the
negative (-) terminal of the battery to be jumped. A spark may
cause an explosion of the gases that surround the battery.
5. Ensure that the cables are clear of moving parts or any fuel delivery
system, brake system or exhaust system parts.
Jump starting
1. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and run the engine at
moderately increased speed.
2. Start the engine of the disabled vehicle.
3. Once the disabled vehicle has been started, run both engines for an
additional three minutes before disconnecting the jumper cables.

If the engine won’t crank
Turn on the headlights. If the lights are dim, do not go on at all or when
the ignition is turned to START the lights become dim or go out, the
battery connections may be loose or corroded, or the battery may be
discharged. If there is a clicking or stuttering sound coming from the
engine compartment when you turn the key to START, this may also
indicate a loose or corroded battery connection.
Check the battery connections at the battery posts, cable connection to
the engine grounding point and at the starter connection.
If a discharged battery is suspected, have it checked and corrected.
WARNING:Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds.Wash hands after handling.
•For vehicles with manual transmissions,the clutch pedalmustbe
fully depressed in order for the starter to operate.
•For vehicles with automatic transmissions,the gearshift lever
must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) in order for the starter to operate.
•Try operating the starter switch several times. Should the switch be
corroded, this operation may clean the contacts or make the switch
temporarily operable until you can reach the dealer.
•If all electrical connections are tight and you need assistance to start,
refer toJump startingin theRoadside Emergencieschapter of your
Owner’s Guide(F-Super Duty) or refer to theJump startingsection
in theRoadside Emergencieschapter of this supplement (E-Series).
If engine cranks but won’t start
Prolonged starter cranking (in excess of 10 seconds) could cause
damage to the starter motor.
•Check the fuel gauge. You may be out of fuel. If the gauge shows that
there is fuel in the tank, the trouble may be in the electrical system or
the fuel system. If equipped with an auxiliary tank, be sure that the
tank control switch is set for the tank with fuel and not on an empty
tank.
•Leaving the ignition key turned to on for over two minutes without
starting may make starting difficult because the glow plugs will cease
activation. Reset the system by turning the ignition key to off and
then back to on again.
