Tech Tips
When viewed from the rear of the engine assembly, Bank 1 is on the left side and Bank 2 is on the right side.
Note
While the auxiliary battery is connected, even if the power switch is off, the brake control system activates when the brake pedal is depressed or the door courtesy switch turns on. Therefore during servicing of the brake system components, do not operate the brake pedal and open / close the doors while the battery is connected.
