1. GENERAL INFORMATION
POOR CHARGING (BATTERY OVER DISCHARGING OR OVERCHARGING)
Undercharging
Inspection/Adjustment
Start engine and test
limit voltage of battery
terminals
Measure resistance
between AC generator
coil terminals
Test output voltage of
regulator/rectifier
coupler red wire
Overcharging
Inspection/Adjustment
Measure battery limit
