Plunger
Inspect plunger for wear. Replace if necessary.
Magnetic Switch
Push in plunger and release it. The plunger should
return quickly to its original position. Replace if
necessary.
Pull-in coil open circuit test
Check for continuity across magnetic switch “S” terminal
(1) and “M” terminal (2). If no continuity, coil is open and
should be replaced. Hold-in coil open circuit test
Check for continuity across ma
gnetic switch “S” terminal
(1) and coil case. If no continuity, coil is open and should
be replaced.
Rear Bracket Bush
Inspect bush for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
Brush
• Check brushes for wear. Measure length of brushes and if below the limit,
replace the brush.
Brush length
Standard: 12.3 mm (0.48 in.)

Inspect brush springs for wear, damage or other
abnormal conditions. Replace if necessary.
Brush spring tension
Standard: 2.2 kg (4.85 lb)
Limit: 0.6 kg (1.33 lb)
Brush Holder
• Check movement of brush in brush holder. If brush movement within brush holder is sluggish, check
brush holder for distortion and sliding faces for
contamination.
Clean or correct as necessary.
• Check for continuity across insulated brush (positive side) and grounded brush (negative side).
If continuity exists, brus h holder is grounded due to
defective insulation and should be replaced.
Armature
• Inspect commutator for dirt or burn. Correct with sandpaper or lathe, if necessary.
• Check commutator for uneven wear with armature (1) supported on V-blocks (2). If deflection of dial gauge
(4) pointer exceeds limit, repair or replace.
NOTE
The following specification presupposes that
the armature is free from bend. Bent
armature must be replaced.

• Check the commutator and armature core. If there is
continuity, the armature is grounded and must be
replaced.
• Check for continuity between segments. If there is no continuity at any test point , there is an open circuit
and the armature must be replaced.
Gears
Inspect the internal gear and the planetary gears for
wear, damage or other abnorma l conditions. Replace if
necessary. Pinion and Over-Running Clutch
• Inspect the pinion for wear, damage or other abnormal
conditions.
Check that clutch locks up when turned in direction of
drive and rotates smoothly in reverse direction.
Replace if necessary.
• Inspect the spline teeth for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
Inspect the pinion for smooth movement.
Front Housing Bush
Inspect the bush for wear or damage. Replace if
necessary.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures
Battery InspectionS7RS0B1A04001
Common Causes of Failure
A battery is not designed to last indefinitely; however, with proper care, it will provide many years of service. If the
battery performs satisfactorily during te st but fails to operate properly for no apparent reason, the following are some
factors that may point to the cause of trouble:
• Accessories left on overnight or for an extended period without the generator operating.
• Slow average driving speeds for short periods.
• Electrical load exceeding generator output partic ularly with addition of aftermarket equipment.
• Defects in charging system such as high resistance, s lipping drive belt, loose generator output terminal, faulty
generator or voltage regulator, Refer to “Generator Symptom Diagnosis”.
• Battery abuse, including failure to keep battery cable terminals clean and tight or loose battery hold down.
• Mechanical problems in electrical sys tem such as shorted or pinched wires.
Visual Inspection
Check for obvious damage, such as cracked or broken case or cover, that could permit loss of electrolyte. If obvious
damage is noted, replace battery. Determine cause of damage and correct as needed.
Generator Symptom DiagnosisS7RS0B1A04002
CAUTION!
• Do not mistake polarities of “IG” terminal and “L” terminal.
• Do not create short circuit between “IG” and “L” terminals. Always connect these terminals through a lamp.
• Do not connect any load between “L” and “E” terminals.
• When connecting charger or booster battery to vehicle battery, refer to “Jump Starting in Case of Emergency”.

Trouble in charging system will show up as one or more of the following conditions:
1) Faulty indicator lamp operation.
2) An undercharged battery as evidenced by slow cranking or indicator dark.
3) An overcharged battery as evidenced by ex cessive spewing of electrolyte from vents.
Condition Possible cause Correction / Reference Item

Loose drive belt pulley Tighten by specified torque.
Loose mounting bolts Tighten by specified torque.
Worn or dirty bearings Replace.
Defective diode or stator Replace.

Generator Test (Undercharged Battery Check)S7RS0B1A04003
This condition, as evidenced by slow cranking or
indicator clear with dark or light yellow dot can be
caused by one or more of the following conditions even
though indicator lamp may be operating normal.
The following procedure also applies to cars with
voltmeter and ammeter.1) Make sure that undercharged condition has not been caused by accessories left on for extended period of
time.
2) Check drive belt for proper tension.
3) If battery defect is suspected, refer to “Battery Description”.
4) Inspect wiring for defects. Check all connections for tightness and cleanliness, battery cable connections
at battery, starting motor, ignition ground cable and
no “C” terminal circuit at ground.
5) Connect switch (6), load (5), battery (4), voltmeter (3) and ammeter (2) to generator (1) as shown in
figure.
Voltmeter: Set between generator “B” terminal
and ground.
Ammeter: Set between generator “B” terminal
and battery (+) terminal.
NOTE
Use fully charged battery.

6) Measure current and voltage.
No-Load Check 1) Run engine from idling up to 2000 rpm and read meters.
NOTE
Turn off switches of all accessories (wiper,
heater etc.).

Specification for undercharged battery (No-load
check)
Current: 10 A
Voltage: 14.2 – 14.8 V (at 20 °C, 68 °F)
NOTE
Consideration should be taken that voltage
will differ somewhat with regulator case
temperature as shown in figure.

2) Using service wire, ground “C” terminal (1) of
generator.
3) Measure voltage between “B” terminal of generator and body ground.
Voltage: 12.5 – 13.1 V (at 20 °C, 68 °F)
• If voltage is higher than standard value
If voltage is higher than standard value, check ground
of brushes.
If brushes are not grounded, replace IC regulator.
If voltage is lower than standard value, proceed to the
following check.
Load Check 1) Run engine at 2000 rpm and turn on head light and blower motor.
2) Measure current. If measure current is less than 30 A, repair or
replace generator.
