How long did your 100 month battery last?
Mine is 5 years old and may need to be replaced.
This morning when I started the car I got ABS and Brake light on (low voltage code); same thing happened 5 years ago with original Yuasa battery
This happened at 47 degrees F ( I've also got famous starter noise after engine fired)
Considering the battery design "extended maintenance type" vs sealed, I expected it to last about 5 years anyways (I never got any batteries lasted more than 3 years)
According to the warranty it has to be replaced on prorated bases which is fine, but the dealer may charge me for battery test, and even tell me BS that it has to be professionally installed (if the total cost adds up to $100 I may consider Napa battery)
Update: exchanged battery at local deanship after showing them low voltage (61-23) DTC for ABS
Installed it on the side of the road in less than 10 minutes
I wish the starter repair will be that easy
BTW my 79 Supra was the only car I had no problems with the starter
It was direct drive type and its size was comparable to the size of entire Fit engine

I can say that worry about my battery has been struck off the list forever!
