Default Disconnecting the battery
The Haynes manual I have cautions that disconnecting and re-connecting the battery can cause the engine to run poorly, and require that some software parameters be reset by a dealer. Seems kind of crazy to me. Has anyone actually had this problem? I have to remove the alternate to get to the AC compressor, so I need to disconnect the battery.
