CHARGING SYSTEM 1. Disconnect the battery cables from the battery. 2. Connect a voltmeter to the battery. BATTERY Warning Hydrogen gas is produced during normal battery d operation. A battery-related explosion can cause serious injury. Keep all flames (including ciga- rettes), heat, and sparks away from the top and surrounding area of open battery cells. Caution To prevent damage to electrical components or the battery, turn all accessories off and stop the engine before performing maintenance or re- charging the battery. Caution Obtain the code number and deactivate the audio anti-theft system before disconnecting the bat- tery. (Refer to section T.) Inspection Caution When disconnecting the battery, remove the neg- ative cable first and install it last to prevent dam- age to electrical components or the battery. Gartner Banana

CHARGING SYSTEM B TE S TERMINAL 1. Remove the battery cover. 2. Disconnect the battery cable from the battery. 3. Remove the battery from the vehicle. 4. Place the battery in a pan of the water to prevent it from ,-, over heating, but keep water away from the top of bat- tery. 5. Charge the battery. Replacement Note When replacing the battery, replace it with the same style Mazda genuine battery (with vent manifold). ALTERNATOR Caution Obtain the code number and deactivate the audio anti-theft system before disconnecting the bat- tery. (Refer to section T.) Caution Reversing the battery connections or using high- voltage testers will damage the rectifier. Caution Do not start the engine while the connector is dis- connected from L and S terminals. It can damage the alternator. Note .--,' Positive voltage is always present at alternator B ter- minal. Removal l Installation 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 2. Disconnect the steering pressure sensor connector. 3. Disconnect the water thermoswitch connector. 4. Disconnect the IAC valve connector. 5. Remove the intake air pipe. 6. Disconnect the wire and connector from the alternator. 7. Remove the alternator bolts and nut. 8. Remove the alternator. 9. Install in the reverse order of removal.

TROUBLESHOOTING If the 3 steps on page K-8 are followed, the cause of the problem should be located. Another guide to faster location of the causes of problems, the QUICK DIAGNOSIS CHART, is on page K-1 0. b In this chart, numbers are used to indicate the components that may be the cause of 22 possible prob- lems. It is necessary to check only those components indicated by numbers during each step of the trouble- shooting process to locate the cause of the problem quickly. QUICK DIAGNOSIS CHART The QUICK DIAGNOSIS CHART shows different .problems and the relationship of components that might be the cause. 1. Components indicated in the "Adjustment" row indicate the possibility that the problem may result from an incorrect adjustment. Check the adjustment of each component, and readjust if necessary. 2. Components indicated in the "Self-DiagnosisWrow are diagnosed by the Powertrain control module (Transmission) self-diagnostic function. 3. Input and output signals of the Powertrain control module (Transmission) for components indicated in the "Tester" row can be easily checked with the Engine signal Monitor. 4. Components indicated in the "Mechanical System Test" row can be checked for malfunction by the re- sults of oil pressure test. 5. Components indicated in the "Road Test" row can be checked for malfunction by the results of the road test. 6. The numbers in the chart indicate the order of inspection for detecting malfunctions. 7. Circled numbers indicate that the transmission must be removed from the vehicle. 8. The checking, adjusting, repair, and replacement procedures for components are described in the page(s) shown in the "Reference page" row. Gartner Banana

N ENGINE SPEED SENSING POWER STEERING Caution Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme left or right for more than five seconds with the engine running. This could damage the power steering d pump- 8. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left and right and measure the fluid pressure generated by the gear hous- ing. If the pressure is not within specification, replace the gear housing assembly. Gear housing fluid pressure: 7,601--8,335 kPa (77.545.0 kgflcm2, 1,103-1,208 psi) 9. Remove the gauge set. Install and tighten the pressure hose to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 3247 N.m (3.24.8 kgf.m, 24--34 ft.lbf} 10. Bleed the air from the system. (Refer to page N-21.) STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN Obtain the code number and deactivate the audio anti- theft system before disconnecting the battery. (Refer to section T.) On-vehicle Inspection -1 Steering wheel effort 1. With the vehicle on a hard, level surface, put the wheels in the straight-ahead position. 2. Start the engine and warm the power steering fluid to 50--60°C (1 22-1 40°F). 3. With the engine running at idle, attach a pull scale to the outermost point of the steering wheel spoke. Then, starting with the wheels in the straight-ahead posi- tion, measure the effort required to turn the steering wheel to the left and to the right. Steering wheel effort: 2635 N (2.63.6 kgf, 5.3-7.9 Ibf) (during one turn of the steering wheel) 2 4. If not within specification, check the following: fluid level, air in system, fluid leakage at hose or connections, func- tion of oil pump and steering gear, and tire pressure. Gartner Banana
