CHARGING SYSTEM INSPECTION
CURRENT LEAKAGE INSPECTION
Remove the left side cover (page
2-4),
With the ignition switch turned to OFF, disconnect the
negative
(-
) cable [1J from the
battery.
Connect the ammeter
(+)
probe to the negative
(-
)
cable and the ammeter (-) probe
to
the banery (-)
terminal.
With the ignition switch
turned
to OFF
,
check for current
leakage.
NOTE:
•
When measuring current using a
tesler,
set
it
to a
--high
range, and
then
bring
the range
down to an
appropriate level. Current flow higher
than
the range
selected may blow the
fuse
in the
tester.
While measuring current, do
not
turn
the
ignition
switch to ON. A sudden surge of current may blow
the fuse
in the
lester.
SPECIFIED CURRENT
LEAKAGE
:
0
.1
rnA max.
If
curren
t
leakage exceeds the specified value, a
shorted circuil is likely.
Locate
the
short by disconnecting connections one by
one and measuring the current.
CHARGING VOLTAGE INSPECTION
Remove
the
left side cover (page
2-4).
Be
sure the battery is in good condition before
performing this
test.
Warm up the engine
to
normal operating
temperature.
Connect the
multimeter
between
the
battery positive (+)
and negative (-) terminals.
I
NOTICE
I
To provent
a
short,
make
absolutely certain which
are the positive
(+)
and negative
(-)
terminals or
cables.
Do not disconnect the battery or any cable in the
charging system without first turning the ignition
switch to OFF. Failure to follow this precaution can
damage the tester or electrical components.
Measure
the
voltage on the multimeter when the engine
runs at 5,000 rpm.
