CHARGING SYSTEM INSPECTION

BATTERY CURRENT LEAKAGE INSPECTION
• Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
• Remove the battery cover. (!8-36)
• Disconnect the - battery lead wire.
Measure the current between - battery terminal and the - bat-
tery lead wire using the multi circuit tester. If the reading
exceeds the specified value, leakage is evident.
# 09900-25008: Multi circuit tester set
$ Tester knob indication: Current (%, 20 mA)
& Battery current (leak): 3 mA and below
"
* Because the current leak might be large, turn the
tester to the high range first to avoid tester damage.
* Do not turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position
when measuring current.
* Do not open the trunk during testing.
When checking to find the excessive current leakage, remove
the couplers and connectors, one by one, checking each part.
REGULATED VOLTAGE INSPECTION
• Remove the battery cover. (!8-36)
• Remove the left side leg shield. (!7-15)
• Start the engine, turn the ignition switch and the dimmer
switch to HI and run the engine at 5 000 r/min.
Measure the DC voltage between the + and - battery termi-
nals using the multi circuit tester.
NOTE:
When making this test, be sure that the battery is in fullycharged
condition.
If the voltage in not within the specified value, inspect the gener-
ator and regulator/rectifier. (!8-11)
