When booster cables are used to start the engine when the battery is completely flat and the vehicle is immediately driven without waiting for the battery to recharge itself, the engine may misfire, and driving may not be possible. This is due to the fact that the ABS consumes a great amount of current for it self-check functions; the remedy is to either allow the battery to recharge sufficiently, or to disconnect the electrical harness connector for the ABS circuit, thus disabling the ABS system. The ABS warning light will illuminate when the connector is disconnected.
After the battery has been sufficiently charged, engage the ABS electrical connector and restart the engine. Check to be sure the ABS warning lamp is not illuminated.
