Frequently Asked Questions: Battery & Electrical Service in Thousand Oaks
Yes. Every BMW that uses an AGM battery requires battery registration coding to the vehicle's body control module. Without it, the alternator does not adjust charging voltage correctly, shortening the new battery's life significantly. We do this as standard practice.
Yes. Tesla 12V batteries are standard AGM units in most models. We handle the replacement. Note that the high-voltage traction battery is not within our scope.
Multiple simultaneous warning lights often indicate a battery dropping voltage below the threshold that the vehicle's modules need to function. A battery load test and alternator output test usually identifies the cause quickly.
Audi modules, particularly the MMI infotainment module and the gateway module, sometimes fail to enter sleep mode and draw 400 to 500 milliamps overnight. We identify the offending module with a step-by-step current pull-down test.
About 45 minutes to an hour for the physical swap. Add 20 to 30 minutes for the coding procedure on BMW, Audi, and Mercedes. We include the coding in the service.
