FAULT DIAGNOSIS GENERAL INFORMATION
Detailed information of electrical systems, component
locations and circuit diagrams are covered in the
Defender Electrical Troubleshooting Manual.
This section covers checks of the charging system.
GENERATOR TESTING
Service repair no - 86.10.01
Charging system check
1.Check battery is in good condition, with an open
circuit voltage of at least 12.6 V. Recharge or
substitute battery to carry out test.
2.Check drive belt condition
See SECTION 10,
Maintenance, Under bonnet maintenance.
3.Check battery connections are clean and tight.
4.Check generator connections are clean and
tight.
5.Ensure there is no drain on battery from, for
example, interior or exteriorlamps.
Generator test
Following instructions refer to use of suitable test
equipment using a carbon pile rheostat.
6.Connect test equipment referring to
manufacturer's instructions.
7.Start engine and run at 3000 rev/min without
accessory load.
8.Rotate carbon pile load control to achieve
greatest output (amps) without allowing voltage
to fall below 12.0 V. A reading in amps, of
generator output should be obtained.
9.Run engine at 3000 rev/min, switch selector to
regulator test, read voltmeter. A reading of 13.6
to 14.4 V should be obtained.
10.Switch selector to diode/stator test, switch on
headlamps to load generator. Raise engine
speed to 3000 rev/min, read voltmeter, needle
must be within 'OK' range.TESTING IN POSITION
Charging circuit resistance test.
1.Connect a low range voltmeter between
generator terminal marked B+ and positive
terminal of battery.
2.Switch on headlamps, start engine. Run engine
at approximately 3000 rev/min. Note voltmeter
reading.
3.Transfer voltmeter connections to frame of
generator and negative terminal of battery, and
again note voltmeter reading.
4.If reading exceeds 0.5 volt on positive side or
0.25 volt on negative side, there is a high
resistance in charging circuit which must be
traced and remedied.

REPAIR ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS
The following guidelines are intended to ensure the
safety of the operator whilst preventing damage to
electrical and electronic components fitted to the
vehicle.
Polarity
Never reverse connect the vehicle battery and always
observe the correct polarity when connecting test
equipment.
High voltage circuits
WARNING: Before commencing work on
an ignition system, all high tension
terminals, adaptors and diagnostic
equipment for testing should be inspected to
ensure that they are adequately insulated and
shielded to prevent accidental personal contacts
and minimize the risk of shock. Wearers of
surgically implanted pacemaker devices should
not be in close proximity to ignition circuits or
diagnostic equipment.
Whenever disconnecting live high tension circuits
always use insulated pliers and never allow the open
end of a high tension lead to come into contact with
other components particularly electronic control units.
Exercise caution when measuring the voltage on the
coil terminals while the engine is running, since, high
voltage spikes can occur on these terminals.
Connectors and harness
Always ensure that these items are dry and oil free
before disconnecting and connecting test equipment.
Never force connectors apart either by using tools or
by pulling on the wiring harness. Always ensure
locking tabs are disengaged before removal and note
orientation to enable correct reconnection. Ensure that
any protective covers and substances are replaced if
disturbed. Having confirmed a component to be faulty
switch-off the ignition and disconnect the battery.
Remove the component and support the disconnected
harness. When replacing the component keep oily
hands away from electrical connection areas and
push connectors home until any locking tabs fully
engage.Battery disconnecting
Before disconnecting the battery, switch off all
electrical equipment.
Battery charging
Recharge the battery out of the vehicle and keep the
top well ventilated. While being charged or
discharged, and for approximately 15 minutes
afterwards, batteries emit hydrogen gas which is
flammable. Always ensure any battery charging area
is well ventilated and that every precaution is taken to
avoid naked flames and sparks.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Switch-off ignition prior to making any connection or
disconnection in the system as electrical surge
caused by disconnecting 'live' connections can
damage electronic components.
Ensure hands and work surfaces are clean and free of
grease, swarf, etc. as grease collects dirt which can
cause tracking or high-resistance contacts.
When handling printed circuit boards, treat them as
you would a disc - hold by the edges only.
Prior to commencing a test, and periodically during a
test, touch a good earth, for instance, a cigar lighter
socket, to discharge body static as some electronic
components are vulnerable to static electricity.

REPAIR HANDSET BATTERY
Service repair no - 86.77.13
Remove
1.Unlock vehicle and disarm alarm system.
2.Turn starter switch to position 'II'.
3.Turn starter switch back to position '0' and
remove key.
4.Carefully prise handset apart, starting from
keyring end, using a coin or small screwdriver.
5.Slide battery out from retaining clip.
6.Press and hold one of the handset buttons for at
least five seconds to drain any residual power
from handset.
NOTE: The engine will immobilise five
minutes after key is removed from starter
switch.Refit
7.Fit new battery into handset retaining clip with
positive side uppermost. Finger marks will
adversely affect battery life; if possible, avoid
touching flat surfaces of battery and wipe clean
before fitting.
8.Reassemble two halves of handset.
9.Press RH (Padlock) button at least four times
within range of vehicle to resynchronise handset.
10.Check operation of alarm system.
WARNING: The handset contains delicate
electronic circuits and must be protected
from impact and water damage, high
temperatures and humidity, direct sunlight and
effects of solvents, waxes and abrasive cleaners.
NOTE: New handsets must be be
initialised using TestBook.
