BATTERY INSPECTIONA6E471018520202MZR-CD (RF Turbo)
Battery
1. Inspect the battery with the following procedure.
Load test chart
Battery positive voltage with load
Back-up Current
1. Verify that the engine switch is off and that the engine key has been removed.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Caution
•Operating electrical loads while measuring the back-up current can damage the circuit tester.
3. Measure the back-up current between the negative battery terminal and the negative battery cable.
(1) If the current exceeds the maximum, remove the fuses in the main fuse block and the fuse block one by
one while measuring the back-up current.
(2) Inspect and repair harnesses and connectors on the fuse where the current has been reduced.
Back-up current
20 mA max.

BATTERY RECHARGINGA6E471018520203MZR-CD (RF Turbo)
Caution
•To avoid damage to the battery, do not quick charge for over 30 min.
•When disconnecting the battery, remove the negative cable first and install it last to prevent
damage to electrical components or the battery.
•To avoid deformation or damage to the battery, remove the battery plugs while charging the
battery.
