Can jump-starting another vehicle fry your car's modern ECU?
Myth: You can quickly hook jumper cables to any modern vehicle without worrying about onboard electronics.
Fact: Modern vehicles rely on sensitive Electronic Control Units (ECUs). Connecting jumper cables in the wrong order or experiencing sudden voltage surges can send spikes through your electrical system, risking damage to sensitive sensors and processors.
How to protect your vehicle:
1. Ensure both vehicle ignitions are off before connecting cables.
2. Always clamp positive to positive, and attach the negative clamp to an unpainted metal chassis ground rather than directly to the flat battery terminal.
3. If your battery struggles to hold charge, replace it with a genuine, properly rated unit rather than risking repeated jump-starts.
