◉ INSPECTION
� CHARGING OUTPUT CHECK
Start the engine and keep it running at 5,000 rpm.
Using the pocket tester, measure the DC voltage
between the battery terminal � and �.
If the tester reads under 13.5 V or over 16.0 V, check
the AC generator no-load performance and regulator /
rectifier.
CAUTION
When making this test, be sure that the battery is
full-charged condition.
