How to Replace Your Battery in a 2020 Honda Pilot
Replacing the battery in your 2020 Honda Pilot involves a few straightforward steps. By following this guide carefully, you can do it confidently and safely.
1. Prepare for the Replacement
Open the hood and locate the battery on the driver’s side.
Remove the plastic trim cover by hand to expose the intake tube.
2. Remove the Intake Tube
Locate the plastic Phillips screws securing the intake tube.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove these screws and detach the intake tube to gain full access to the battery.
3. Disconnect the Battery Cables
Disconnect the negative cable: Use the 10mm socket to loosen the bolt on the negative (black) terminal. Remove the cable and set it aside.
Disconnect the positive cable: Repeat the process for the positive (red) terminal.
4. Remove the Battery Hold-Down Clamp
Use the 10mm socket to remove the nut securing the battery hold-down clamp. Set the clamp aside.
5. Remove the Old Battery
Carefully lift the old battery out of its compartment. Batteries are heavy, so be sure to lift with both hands.
6. Clean the Battery Terminal Posts
Use a battery cleaning chemical and a wire brush to clean the terminal posts. This step ensures a strong, corrosion-free connection with the new battery.
7. Install the New Battery
Place the new battery into the compartment, ensuring the terminals are positioned correctly.
Reinstall the hold-down clamp and secure it with the 10mm bolt.
8. Reconnect the Battery Cables
Attach the positive (red) cable to the terminal and tighten it securely with the 10mm socket.
Attach the negative (black) cable and tighten it securely.
9. Reattach the Intake Tube
Reinstall the intake tube using the Phillips screws and replace the plastic trim cover by hand.
10. Test the Alternator
Start the vehicle and test the alternator output using a multimeter. A properly functioning alternator should produce between 13.5 and 14.5 volts, though this can vary by manufacturer.
