Charge until EYE shows charge is OK; plus an
additional 30 minutes to assure tull charge.
NOTE: lf the battery charge is very low, it
may be necessary to bypass the charger'spolarity protection circuitry.
lf the EYE does not show charge is OK within
three hours, the battery is no good; replace it.
Write down how long the battery was
charged.
Test Load Capacity l#21
Apply 300 amp load for 15 seconds to remove surface charge.
Allow 15 seconds recoverv Deriod.
Apply test load (see Test Load Chan).
Record voltaoe at the end of 15 seconds.
Voltage stays abov€ 9.6 volts: The Uattery is Of. IVoltage drops below 9.6 volts: The battery

Alternator Belt Inspection and Adjustment
Deflection Method:
Apply a force of 100 N (1o kgt, 22 lbJ) and measure the
deflection between the alternator and the crankshatt
pulley.
Detlsction:9-11 mm (0.35-O.43 inl
NOTE; On a brand-new belt {one that has be€n run
for less than five minutes), the deJlection should be
6-8 mm 1O.23-O.32 in) wh€n first measured. lf
the belt is worn or damaged, replace it.

Boh Tsnsion Gaug6 Mothod:
Foltowing the gauge manuJacturer's instructions, attach
the belt tension gauge to the belt and measure the
tension.
Tension: 340-49O N (35-50 kgl, 77-110 lbfl
NOTE: On a brand-new belt (one that has been run
for less than tive minutes), tension should be
690-880 N (70-90 kgt, 154- 198 lbJ) when tirst
measured. lf the belt is worn or damaged, replace it.
lf adi$tmsnt is nscaasary:
1. Loosen the alternator adiusting nut and mounting
nut.
2. Move ths ahernator to obtain the proper bslt tension,
then retighten the adjusting nut and mounting nut

Function Test
CAUTION: Be carelul not to scratch 01 damago ths
defogger wires with th€ tsster probe.
1 . Check for voltage between the positive terminal and
body ground with the ignition switch and the delog-
ger switch ON. There should be battery voltage.
a lf there is no voltage, check for
- laulty detogger relay.- faulty defogger switch.- faulty integrated control unit.- an open in the BLK/GRN wire
a lJ there is baftery voltage, go to step 2.
NEGATIVE TERMIiIALPOSITIVE TERMINAL
Turn the rear window detogger switch OFF, Check
for continuity between the negative terminal and
body ground.
a It there is no continuity, check to. an open in the
defogger ground wire.
a ll there is continuity, go to step 3.
Touch the voltmeter positive lead to the halfway
point of each defogger wire, and the negative lead
to the negative terminal.
There should be apptoximately 6 V with the ignition
switch and defogger switch ON.
a lf the voltage is as specified, the defogger wire
is OK.
a lf the voltage is not as specified. repai, the defog-
ger wire:
lf it is more than 6 V, look for the damage on
the negative half on the grid.
- lf it is less than 6 V. iook for the damage on
the positive half of the grid.
Defogger Wires Repair
NOTE: To make an eftective repair. the broken section
must be no longer than one inch.
1 . Lightly rub the area around the break with line steel
wool, then clean it with alcohol.
2. Carefullv mask above and below the broken portion
of the defogger wire with cellophane tape.
Using a small brush, apply a heavy coat of silver con-
ductive paint extending about 3 mm ( 1/8 inl on both
sides of the break. Allow 30 minutes to dry.
NOTE: Thoroughly mix the paint before use.
Check for continuity in the repaired wire.
Apply a second coat of paint in the same way.

Airbag Assembly Disposal (cont'd)
Connect a l2 volt batterv to the tool:
. lf the green light on the tool comes on, th€
airbag igniter circuit is d€fective and cannot
deploy the airbag. Go to Dsmag€d Airbag
Special Procedure.
. lf the red light on the tool comes on, the airbag is
ready to be deployed.
Push the tool's deployment switch. Th6 sirbag
should deploy (deployment is both highly audible
and visibls - a loud noise and raDid inflation of the
bag, followed by slow deflationl.
. lf audible/visible deploym€nt happsns and the
green light on the tool comes on, continus with
this Drocedure.
. lf the airbag doesn't deploy, yet the green light
comes ON, its igniter is dofectiv€. Go to
Damaged Airbag Special Procedure.
@ During deploym€nt, the airbsg assom-
bly can become hot enough to burn you. Wait thirty
minutes after deployment beforo touching the
