Notice:
If the battery is weak or if the engine is difficult to start, perform the following procedures.
Hint:
Before checking the battery voltage, turn off all the electrical systems (headlights, blower motor, rear defogger, etc.).
Standard specific gravity: 1.25 To 1.29 At 20°c (68°f)
If the electrolyte quantity is above the lower line, check the battery voltage when cranking the engine. If the voltage is less than 9.6 V, recharge or replace the battery.
Hint:
Before checking the battery voltage, turn off all the electrical systems (headlights, blower motor, rear defogger, etc.).
(1) Check that the battery terminals are not loose or corroded.
Standard resistance:
below 1
If the results are not as specified, replace the fuses as necessary.
If any defects are found, replace the v-ribbed belt.
Hint:
Cracks on the rib side of the belt are considered acceptable. If the belt has chunks missing from the ribs, it should be replaced.
Hint:
Confirm by hand that the belt has not slipped out of the grooves on the bottom of the pulley.
If the light does not operate as specified, troubleshoot the charge warning light circuit.
Standard amperage: 10 a or less
Standard voltage: 12.1 To 15.4 V
If the result is not as specified, replace the generator.
Hint:
If the battery is not fully charged, the ammeter reading will sometimes be more than the standard amperage.
Standard amperage: 30 a or more
If the ammeter reading is less than the standard amperage, repair the generator.
Hint:
If the battery is fully charged, the indication will sometimes be less than the standard amperage. If this is the case, add more electrical load (operate the wipers, rear window defogger, etc.) And check the reading on the ammeter again.

Hint:
Using the intelligent tester's data list allows switch,
sensor, actuator and other item values to be read without
removing any parts. Reading the data list early in
troubleshooting is one way to save time.
