Removing and installing the battery

When the battery is disconnected from the memory of the central unit of the engine and gearbox control system, the anti-lock brake system, as well as from the memory of a number of other electrical devices, such as a radio and clock, data on the malfunctions that have occurred are erased. After connection, reprogram the relevant devices. Some standard radios have a security code. Which prevents unauthorized use of the radio if its power is turned off. The power to the radio and clock is cut off if, for example, the battery is disconnected, the receiver is removed or the corresponding fuse blows.
