I have trickle charger now but you can remove the negative terminal and put car in quarantine.

My guess is no more than $250.

What is the specific TSB for this problem? Thanks.

Unfortunately, I discovered this well after the four-year free update period so I had to pay around $200 for it if I remember correctly.

What year is the car? The TSB seems to be for 2013 models, my 2011 460 has a battery problem.
