This test determines whether the generator outputs
normal current.(1) Before the test, always be sure to check the
following.l Generator installation
l
Battery (Refer to GROUP 54 - Battery.)
NOTE
The battery to be used should be slightly dis-charged. The load in a fully-charged battery
will be insufficient and the test may not be able
to be carried out correctly.l Generator drive belt tension (Refer to
GROUP 11- On-vehicle Service.)l Fusible link
l Abnormal noise from the generator while
the engine is running(2) Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
(3) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(4) Disconnect the generator output wire from the
generator
“B” terminal and connect a DC testammeter with a range of O-100 A in series
between the “B” terminal and the disconnected
output wire. (Connect the
(+) lead of the amme-ter to the
“B” terminal, and then connect the(-) lead of the ammeter to the disconnected
output wire.)
Caution
Never use clips but tighten bolts and nutsto connect the line.
Otherwise loose
connections (e.g. using clips) will lead to
a serious accident because of high current.
NOTE
A clamp-type ammeter which enables measure-
ments to be taken without disconnecting the
generator output wire is recommended.(5) Connect a voltmeter with a range of 0
- 20
V between the generator “B” terminal and the
ground. (Connect the
(+) lead of the voltmeterto the “B” terminal, and then connect the (-)
lead of the voltmeter to the ground.)
(6) Connect a tachometer. (For the procedure forconnecting the tachometer, refer to GROUP
11 - On-vehicle Service.)
(7) Connect the negative battery cable.
(8) Leave the hood open.(9) Check to be sure that the reading on the
voltmeter is equal to the battery voltage.
NOTE
If the voltage is 0 V, the cause is probably an
open circuit in the wire or fusible link between
the generator “B” terminal and the battery
(+)
terminal.
(1O)After turning the light switch on and turning on
the headlights, start the engine.
(1l)lmmediately after setting the headlights to high
beam and turning the heater blower switch to
the high revolution position, increase the enginespeed to 2,500
r/min and read the maximum
current output value displayed on the ammeter.
Limit value: 70% of nominal current output
NOTEl
For the nominal current output, refer to the
Generator Specifications.l
Because the current from the battery will
soon drop after the engine is started, the
above step should be carried out as quickly
as possible in order to obtain the maximum
current output value.l The current output value will depend on
the electrical load and the temperature of
the generator body.l
If the electrical load is small while testing,the specified level of current may not be
output even though the generator is normal.
In such cases, increase the electrical load
by leaving the headlights turned on for sometime to discharge the battery or by using
the lighting system in another vehicle, and
then test again.l
The specified level of current also may not
be output if the temperature of the generator
body or the ambient temperature is too high.
In such cases, cool the generator and then
test again.
(12)The reading on the ammeter should be above
the limit value. If the reading is below the limit
value and the generator output wire is normal,
remove the generator from the engine and check
the generator.(13)Run the engine at idle speed after the test.
(14)Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
(15)Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(16)Disconnect the ammeter, voltmeter and
tachometer.(17)Connect the generator output wire to the
generator “B” terminal.
(18)Connect the negative battery cable.

TROUBLESHOOTING
LHEADLIGHT
OPERATION

lTurn the lighting switch to “HEAD”, and the con-
tact point of the headlight relay will be closedto turn “ON” the headlight relay.
lWhen the dimmer switch is placed in the LO
position, the headlight low-beams go on. On
vehicles up to 1993 model, when the switch
is placed in the HI position, the headlight high-
beams go on. On vehicles from 1994 model,when the switch is placed in the HI position,
the headlight high-beams and low-beams go
on.
l
When the high-beam is lit or when the passing
switch is activated, the high-beam indicator lightwill be lit.
l
If the driver’s door is opened after the ignition
switch is turned to “OFF” or the ignition switchis turned to “OFF” after the driver’s door is
opened when the headlights are lit, the currentwhich flows to the coil side of the headlight
relay will be cut off by the light automatic shut-OFF unit opening the contact point, and the
headlight relay will be turned “OFF” to automati-
cally shut off the headlights.l
To turn the headlights on again after they are
automatically shut off, turn the lighting switchto “OFF” once and then back to “HEAD”, or
turn the ignition switch to “ACC” or “ON”, and
the
aut0mati.c shut-OFF will be cancelled andthe current will flow from the light automatic
shut-OFF unit to the coil side of the headlightrelay again to close the contact point. Thus,
the headlight relay will be turned “ON” to turnon the headlights.
NOTEWhen the lighting switch is at “HEAD”, the light
automatic shut-OFF system is valid for tail lights,
parking and side marker lights, license plate light,
illumination light, etc.(Refer to
P.54-70.)
(Up to 1993 models)by lighting
l
When the lighting switch is placed in the HEAD
position, current flows through multi-purpose
fuse (6) to the lighting switch, and the ETACScontrol unit. Then the UP timer circuit in the
LETACS control unit is operated, and currentflows from the ETACS control unit to the U con-tact of the pop-up motor U/D (UP/DOWN)
switch, the coil of the pop-up motor relay and
ground, causing the contacts of the pop-up mo-
tor relay to close.
When the contacts of the pop-up motor relay
close, current flows through the contacts of the
pop-up motor relay to the pop-up motor and
ground, causing the pop-up motor to rotate,
which brings the headlights to the UP position.
The pop-up motor rotates until the automatic
UP stop position is reached, then the contactsof the interlocked U/D (UP/DOWN) switch
change from the U to D contacts. As a result,
the contacts of the pop-up motor relay opento cut off the current supplied to the pop-up
motor. Then the pop-up motor ceases to rotate,
holding the headlights in the UP position.l
When the lighting switch is placed in the TAIL
or OFF position, current flows through the multi-
purpose fuse (6) to the lighting switch, and the
ETACS control unit. Then the DOWN timer cir-
cuit in the ETACS control unit is operated and
current flows from the ETACS control unit to
the DOWN contacts of the pop-up motor U/D
(UP/DOWN) switch, the coil of the pop-up motor
relay and ground, causing the contacts of the
pop-up motor relay to close.
When the contacts of the pop-up motor relay
close, current flows through the contacts of the
pop-up motor relay to the pop-up motor andground, causing the pop-up motor to rotate,
which brings the headlights to the DOWN posi-
tion.
The pop-up motor rotates until the automatic
DOWN stop position is reached, then the con-
tacts of the interlocked U/D (UP/DOWN) switch
change from the D to U contacts. As a result,
the contacts of the pop-up motor relay open
to cut off current supply to the pop-up motor.
Then the pop-up motor ceases to rotate, holding
the headlights in the DOWN position.

When the pop-up switch is placed in the UP
position, current flows through multi-purpose
fuse (6) to the lighting switch, the pop-up switch
and the ETACS control unit, which brings the
headlights to the UP position and holds them
in the UP position just like when they are oper-
ated by the lighting switch.l
When the pop-up switch is placed in the DOWN
position, current flows through the multi-purpose
fuse (6) to the lighting switch, the pop-up switch
and the ETACS control unit, which brings the
headlights to the DOWN position and holds them
in the DOWN position just like when they are
operated by the lighting switch.

About multipath noise and fading noise
Because the frequency of FM waves is extreme-
ly high, it is highly susceptible to effects from
geological formations and buildings. These ef-
fects disrupt the broadcast signal and obstruct
‘reception in several ways.l Multipath noise
This describes the echo that occurs when the
broadcast signal is reflected by a large obstruc-
tion and enters the receiver with a slight time
delay relative to the direct signal (repetitious
buzzing).l Fading noise
This is a buzzing noise that occurs when the
broadcast beam is disrupted by obstructing ob-
jects and the signal strength fluctuates intricately
within a narrow range.
