If the voltmeter reading is more than standard voltage, replace
the voltage regulator.
– CHARGING SYSTEM
After installing a new belt, run the engine for about 5 min-
utes and recheck the belt tension.
VISUALLY CHECK GENERATOR WIRING AND
LISTEN FOR ABNORMAL NOISES
Check that the wiring is in good condition.

Warm up the engine and then turn it off.
Turn off all accessories.
Turn the ignition switch "ON". Check that the discharge
warning light is lit.
Start the engine. Check that the light goes off.

z
Disconnect the wire from terminal B of the genera-
tor, and connect it to the negative (–) tester probe
of the ammeter.
z
Connect the positive (+) tester probe of the amme-
ter to terminal B of the generator.
z
Connect the positive (+) tester probe of the voltme-
ter to terminal B of the generator.
z
Ground the negative (–) tester probe of the voltme-
ter.
Check the charging circuit as follows:
With the engine running from idling to 2,000 rpm, check
the reading on the ammeter and voltmeter.
Standard amperage: 10 A or less
Standard voltage: 13.5 – 15.1 V
