(b) Check that the belt fits properly in the ribbed grooves.
Confirm that the belt has not slipped out of the groove on the
bottom of the pulley by hand.
5. INSPECT GENERATOR WIRING
(a) Visually check the generator wiring.
(1) Check that the wiring is in good condition.
6. INSPECT ABNORMAL NOISES
(a) Listen to abnormal noises from generator.
(1) Check that no abnormal noise is heard from the generator while the engine is running.
7. INSPECT CHARGE WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON. Check that the charge warning light comes on.
(b) Start the engine, then check that the light goes off.
If the light does not operate as specified, troubleshoot the charge warning light circuit.
8. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITHOUT LOAD
(a) If a tester is not available, connect a voltmeter to the
charging circuit as follows.
(1) Disconnect the wire from terminal B of the genera-
tor, then connect it to the negative (-) lead of the
ammeter.
(2) Connect the positive (+) lead of the ammeter to ter-
minal B of the generator.
(3) Connect the positive (+) lead of the voltmeter to ter-
minal B of the generator.
(4) Ground the negative (-) lead of the voltmeter.
(b) Check the charging circuit.
(1) Keep the engine speed at 2,000 rpm, then check
the reading on the ammeter and voltmeter.
Standard amperage: 10 A or less
Standard voltage: 13.2 to 14.8 V
9. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITH LOAD
(a) With the engine running at 2,000 rpm, turn the high beam headlights ON and turn the heater blower
switch to the ºHIº position.
(b) Check the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage: 30 A or more

If the ammeter reading is less than the standard amperage, repair the generator.

If the battery is fully charged, the indication will sometimes be less than the standard amperage.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE FOR IN±STOCK VEHICLES & PRE±DELIVERY ± PG009-02 September 12, 2002
Page 4 of 4
In addition to this new pre±delivery battery test, a monthly battery inspection is still
required for stored vehicles. If your dealership is located in an area subject to extreme
temperatures (hot or cold), periodic maintenance may need to be performed more
frequently.
To reduce parasitic battery drain for vehicles in storage for one week or more, the
negative battery cable should always be disconnected to reduce battery discharge.
When the negative battery cable is reconnected, please check and reset electrical
components such as the clock, radio, etc.
NOTE:
For your reference, the electrical system is made inoperative by removing the
appropriate fuse indicated in the Electrical Wiring Diagram. Recom-
