OWNER INSPECTIONS AND SERVICES
WHLE OPERATING THE VEHICLE
Horn Operation
Blow the horn occasionally tomake sure it works. Check
all the button locations.
Brake System Operation
Be alert for abnormal sounds, increased brake pedal trav-
el or repeated pulling to one side when braking. Also, if the
brake warning light goes on, or flashes, something may be
wrong with part of the brake system.
Exhaust System Operation
Be alert to any changes in the sound of the system or the
smell of the fumes. These are signs that the system may
be leaking or overheating. Have the system inspected and
repaired immediately.
Tires,Wheels and Alignment Operation
Be alert to any vibration of the steering wheel or the seats
at normal highway speeds. This may mean a wheel needs
to be balanced. Also, a pull right or left on a straight, level
road may show the need for a tire pressure adjustment or
a wheel alignment.
Steering System Operation
Be alert to changes in the steering action. An inspection
is needed when the steering wheel is hard to turn or has
too much free play, or if unusual sounds are noticed when
turning or parking.
Headlight Aim
Take note of the light pattern occasionally. Adjust the
headlights if the beams seem improperly aimed.
AT EACH FUEL FILL
A fluid loss in any (except windshield washer) system may
indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and re-
paired immediately.
Engine Oil Level
Check the oil level and add oil if necessary. The best time
to check the engine oil level is when the oil is warm.
1. After stopping the engine, wait a few minutes for
the oil to drain back to the oil pan.
2. Pull out the oil level indicator (dip stick).
3. Wipe it clean, and push the oil level indicator back
down all the way.
4. Pull out the oil level indicator and look at the oil lev-
el on it.
5. Add oil, if needed, to keep the oil level above the
MIN line and within the area labeled ”Operating
Range.” Avoid overfilling the engine, since this may
cause engine damage.
6. Push the indicator all the way back down into the
engine after taking the reading.If you check the oil level when the oil is cold, do not run the
engine first. The cold oil will not drain back to the pan fast
enough to give a true oil level reading.
Engine Coolant Level and Condition
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir tank and
add coolant if necessary. Inspect the coolant. Replace
dirty or rusty coolant.
Windshield Washer Fluid Level
Check the washer fluid level in the reservoir. Add fluid if
necessary.
AT LEAST MONTHLY
Tire And Wheel Inspection and Pressure
Check
Check the tires for abnormal wear or damage. Also check
for damaged wheels. Check the tire pressure when the
tires are cold (check the spare also, unless it is a stow-
away). Maintain the recommended pressures that are on
the tire placard that is in the glove box.
Light Operation
Check the operation of the license plate light, the head-
lights (including the high beams), the parking lights, the
fog lights, the taillight, the brake lights, the turn signals, the
backup lights and the hazard warning flasher.
Fluid Leak Check
Periodically inspect the surface beneath the vehicle for
water, oil, fuel or other fluids, after the vehicle has been
parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioning
system after use is normal. If you notice fuel leaks or
fumes, find the cause and correct it at once.
AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR
Power Steering System Reservoir Level
Check the power steering fluid level. Keep the power
steering fluid at the proper level. Refer to Section 6A, Pow-
er Steering System.
Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir Level
Check the fluid and keep it at the proper level. A low fluid
level can indicate worn disc brake pads which may need
to be serviced. Check the breather hole in the reservoir
cover to be free from dirt and check for an open passage.
Clutch Pedal Free Travel
Check clutch pedal free travel and adjust as necessary.
Measure the distance from the center of the clutch pedal
to the outer edge of the steering wheel with the clutch ped-
al not depressed. Then measure the distance from the
center of the clutch pedal to the outer edge of the steering
wheel with the clutch pedal fully depressed. The difference
between the two values must be greater than 130 mm
(5.19 inches).
Weather–Strip Lubrication
Apply a thin film silicone grease using a clean cloth.

GENRATOR OUTPUT TEST
1. Perform the generator system test. Refer to ”Gen-
erator System Check”in this section.
2. Replace the generator if it fails that test. Refer to
”Generator” in the On–Vehicle Service portion of
this section. If it passes the test, perform the on–
vehicle output check which follows.
Important : Always check the generator for output before
assuming that a grounded ”L” terminal circuit has dam-
aged the regulator.
3. Attach a digital multimeter, an ammeter, and a car-
bon pile load to the vehicle.
Important : Be sure the vehicle battery is fully charged,
and the carbon pile load is turned off.
4. With the ignition switch in the OFF position, check
and record the battery voltage.
5. Remove the harness connector from the generator.
6. Turn the ignition to RUN with the engine not run-
ning. Use a digital multimeter to check for voltage in
the harness connector ”L” terminal.
7. The reading should be near the specified battery
voltage of 12 volts. If the voltage is too low, check
the indicator
L" terminal circuits for open and
grounded circuits causing voltage loss. Correct any
open wires, terminal connections, etc., as neces-
sary. Refer to”Charging System” in this section.
8. Attach the generator harness connector.
9. Run the engine at a moderate idle, and measure
the voltage across the battery terminals. The read-
ing should be above that recorded in step 14, but
less than 16 volts. If the reading is over 16 volts or
below the previous reading, replace the generator.
Refer to”Generator” in the On–Vehicle Service sec-
tion.
10. Run the engine at a moderate idle, and measure
the generator amperage output.
11. Turn on the carbon pile, and adjust it to obtain the
maximum amps while maintaining the battery volt-
age above 13 volts.
12. If the reading is within 15 amps of the generator’s
rating noted on the generator, the generator is
good. If not, replace the generator. Refer to”Gener-
ator” in the On–Vehicle Service section.
13. With the generator operating at the maximum out-
put, measure the voltage between the generator
housing and the battery negative terminal. The volt-
age drop should be 0.5 volt or less. If the voltage
drop is more than 0.5 volt, check the ground path
from the generator housing to the negative battery
cable.
14. Check, clean, tighten, and recheck all of the ground
connections.
GENERATOR SYSTEM CHECK
When operating normally, the generator indicator lamp will
come on when the ignition is in RUN position and go out
when the engine starts. If the lamp operates abnormally
or if an undercharged or overcharged battery condition oc-
curs, the following procedure may be used to diagnose the
charging system. Remember that an undercharged bat-
tery is often caused by accessories being left on overnight
or by a defective switch that allows a lamp, such as a trunk
or a glove box lamp, to stay on.
Diagnose the generator with the following procedure:
1. Visually check the belt and the wiring.
2. With the ignition in the ON position and the engine
stopped, the charge indicator lamp should be on. If
not, detach the harness at the generator and
ground the ”L” terminal in the harness with a 5–am-
pere jumper lead.
S If the lamp lights, replace the generator. Refer to
”Generator” in the On–Vehicle Service section.
S If the lamp does not light, locate the open circuit
between the ignition switch and the harness
connector. The indicator lamp bulb may be
burned out.
3. With the ignition switch in the ON position and the
engine running at moderate speed, the charge indi-
cator lamp should be off. If not, detach the wiring
harness at the generator.
S If the lamp goes off, replace the generator. Re-
fer to ”Generator” in the On–Vehicle Service
section.
S If the lamp stays on, check for a short to ground
in the harness between the connector and the
indicator lamp.
Important : Always check the generator for output before
assuming that a grounded ”L” terminal circuit has dam-
aged the regulator. Refer to”Generator” in the Unit Repair
section.

ENGINE ELECTRICAL 1E – 31
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
trolyte and the plates are at room temperature. A
battery that is extremely cold may not accept cur-
rent for several hours after starting the charger.
3. Charge the battery until the green dot appears. The
battery should be checked every half–hour while
charging. Tipping or shaking the battery may be
necessary to make the green dot appear.
4. After charging, the battery should be load tested.
Refer to ”Starter Motor” in this section.
CHARGING TIME REQUIRED
The time required to charge a battery will vary depending
upon the following factors:
S Size of Battery – A completely discharged large
heavy–duty battery requires more than twice the re-
charging time as a completely discharged small pas-
senger car battery.
S Temperature – A longer time will be needed to
charge any battery at –18°C (0°F) than at 27°C
(80°F). When a fast charger is connected to a cold
battery, the current accepted by the battery will be
very low at first. The battery will accept a higher cur-
rent rate as the battery warms.
S Charger Capacity – A charger which can supply only
5 amperes will require a much longer charging period
than a charger that can supply 30 amperes or more.
S State–of–Charge – A completely discharged battery
requires more than twice as much charge as a one–
half charged battery. Because the electrolyte is nearly
pure water and a poor conductor in a completely dis-
charged battery, the current accepted by the battery
is very low at first. Later, as the charging current
causes the electrolyte acid content to increase, the
charging current will likewise increase.
CHARGING A COMPLETELY
DISCHARGED BATTERY (OFF THE
VEHICLE)
Unless this procedure is properly followed, a perfectly
good battery may need to be replaced.
The following procedure should be used to recharge a
completely discharged battery:
1. Measure the voltage at the battery terminals with
an accurate voltmeter. If the reading is below 10
volts, the charge current will be very low, and it
could take some time before the battery accepts
the current in excess of a few milliamperes. Refer
to ””Charging Time Required” in this section, which
focuses on the factors affecting both the charging
time required and the rough estimates in the table
below. Such low current may not be detectable on
ammeters available in the field.
2. Set the battery charger on the high setting.Important : Some chargers feature polarity protection cir-
cuitry, which prevents charging unless the charger leads
are correctly connected to the battery terminals. A com-
pletely discharged battery may not have enough voltage
to activate this circuitry, even though the leads are con-
nected properly, making it appear that the battery will not
accept charging current. Therefore, follow the specific
charger manufacturer’s instruction for bypassing or over-
riding the circuitry so that the charger will turn on and
charge a low–voltage battery.
3. Continue to charge the battery until the charge cur-
rent is measurable. Battery chargers vary in the
amount of voltage and current provided. The time
required for the battery to accept a measurable
charge current at various voltages may be as fol-
lows:
Voltage
Hours
16.0 or moreUp to 4 hours
14.0–15.9Up to 8 hours
13.9 or lessUp to 16 hours
S If the charge current is not measurable at the
end of the above charging times, the battery
should be replaced.
S If the charge current is measurable during the
charging time, the battery is good, and charging
should be completed in the normal manner.
Important : It is important to remember that a completely
discharged battery must be recharged for a sufficient num-
ber of ampere hours (AH) to restore the battery to a usable
state. As a general rule, using the reserve capacity rating
(RC) as the number of ampere hours of charge usually
brings the green dot into view.
S If the charge current is still not measurable after
using the charging time calculated by the above
method, the battery should be replaced.
JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE
1. Position the vehicle with the good (charged) battery
so that the jumper cables will reach.
2. Turn off the ignition, all the lights, and all the electri-
cal loads in both vehicles. Leave the hazard flasher
on if jump starting where there may be other traffic
and any other lights needed for the work area.
3. In both vehicles, apply the parking brake firmly.
Notice : To avoid vehicle damage,Make sure the cables
are not on or near pulleys, fans, or other parts that will
move when the engine starts.
4. Shift an automatic transaxle to PARK, or a manual
transaxle to NEUTRAL.
CAUTION : In order to avoid injury, do not use cables
that have loose or missing insulation.
5. Clamp one end of the first jumper cable to the posi-
tive terminal on the battery. Make sure it does not
touch any other metal parts. Clamp the other end of

1E – 32IENGINE ELECTRICAL
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
the same cable to the positive terminal on the other
battery. Never connect the other end to the nega-
tive terminal of the discharged battery.
CAUTION : To avoid injury do not attach the cable di-
rectly to the negative terminal of the discharged bat-
tery. Doing so could cause sparks and a possible bat-
tery explosion.
6. Clamp one end of the second cable to the negative
terminal of the booster battery. Make the final con-
nection to a solid engine ground (such as the en-
gine lift bracket) at least 450 millimeters (18 inches)
from the discharged battery.
7. Start the engine of the vehicle with the good bat-
tery. Run the engine at a moderate speed for sever-
al minutes. Then start the engine of the vehicle
which has the discharged battery.
8. Remove the jumper cables by reversing the above
sequence exactly. Remove the negative cable from
the vehicle with the discharged battery first. While
removing each clamp, take care that it does not
touch any other metal while the other end remains
attached.
GENERATOR
The Delco–Remy CS charging system has several mod-
els available, including the CS. The number denotes the
outer diameter in millimeters of the stator lamination.
CS generators are equipped with internal regulators. A
Delta stator, a rectifier bridge, and a rotor with slip rings
and brushes are electrically similar to earlier generators.
A conventional pulley and fan are used. There is no test
hole.
Unlike three–wire generators, the CS may be used with
only two connections: battery positive and an ”L’’ terminal
to the charge indicator lamp.
As with other charging systems, the charge indicator lamp
lights when the ignition switch is turned to RUN, and goes
out when the engine is running. If the charge indicator is
on with the engine running, a charging system defect is in-
dicated. This indicator light will glow at full brilliance for
several kinds of defects as well as when the system volt-
age is too high or too low.The regulator voltage setting varies with temperature and
limits the system voltage by controlling rotor field current.
At high speeds, the on–time may be 10 percent and the
off–time 90 percent. At low speeds, with high electrical
loads, on–time may be 90 percent and the off–time 10 per-
cent.
CHARGING SYSTEM
CS generators use a new type of regulator that incorpo-
rates a diode trio. A Delta stator, a rectifier bridge, and a
rotor with slip rings and brushes are electrically similar to
earlier generators. A conventional pulley and fan are used.
There is no test hole.
STARTER
Wound field starter motors have pole pieces, arranged
around the armature, which are energized by wound field
coils.
Enclosed shift lever cranking motors have the shift lever
mechanism and the solenoid plunger enclosed in the drive
housing, protecting them from exposure to dirt, icy condi-
tions, and splashes.
In the basic circuit, solenoid windings are energized when
the switch is closed. The resulting plunger and shift lever
movement causes the pinion to engage the engine fly-
wheel ring gear. The solenoid main contacts close. Crank-
ing then takes place.
When the engine starts, pinion overrun protects the arma-
ture from excessive speed until the switch is opened, at
which time the return spring causes the pinion to disen-
gage. To prevent excessive overrun, the switch should be
released immediately after the engine starts.
STARTING SYSTEM
The engine electrical system includes the battery, the igni-
tion, the starter, the generator, and all the related wiring.
Diagnostic tables will aid in troubleshooting system faults.
When a fault is traced to a particular component, refer to
that component section of the service manual.
The starting system circuit consists of the battery, the
starter motor, the ignition switch, and all the related electri-
cal wiring. All of these components are connected electri-
cally.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) C0161
ABS BRAKE SWITCH CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION
Circuit Description
When the brake pedal is depressed, the contacts on the
brake light switch close to illuminate the brake lights. Bat-
tery voltage is also applied to terminal 14 of the electronic
brake control module (EBCM), which signals the ABS con-
troller that the brakes are applied and ABS may be need-
ed. Without this, signals from a wheel speed sensor that
may indicate need for ABS intervention are questionable.
When the brake pedal is not depressed, the EBCM termi-
nal 14 is grounded through the brake lights.
Diagnosis
This procedure will check whether there is no output or
constant output from the brake light switch and will deter-
mine the cause as a faulty switch or a problem in the cir-
cuitry.
Cause(s)
S The ground connection or the positive connection at
the EBCM has failed.
S There is an open, short to ground, or short to posi-
tive in the vehicle wiring.S The brake light switch has failed.
Fail Action
The system records a DTC C0161. ABS and EBD opera-
tion is enabled and ABS / EBD warning lamp don’t turn on.
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostic
table.
1. This simple test will isolate the problem to the fuse–
brake light switch–splice 301 area or the splice
301–EBCM area.
3. This is the first step in identifying an open, a short
to ground, a short to voltage, or a faulty brake light
switch.
11. This step begins the process of finding an open, a
defective connector, or a faulty EBCM.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect wiring and connectors carefully and thoroughly.
Failure to do so could result in misdiagnosis, causing part
replacement with reappearance of the malfunction.
