determine s whethe r the wiring fro m th e

ator "B" termina l to t he batt e ry (+) terminal
(including the
fusible line ) is in a good condition or
not.
1.Always b e su re to check the following b e fore th e
te st.
•Alternator inst allatio n
•Drive belt tension
(Ref er to GROUP 1 1 A − On-veh icle Service <4G1>
P.11A-7 or GROUP 1 1 C − On-vehicle Service
<4G6> P.11C-7.)
•Fusible link
•Abnormal noise from the altern ator while the
eng
ine is ru nning

9. Check 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 alternator "B" terminal and the battery (+) ter
-
minal.
10.Turn the light switch on to turn on headlamps and
then start the engine.
11.Immediately after setting the headlamps to high
beam and turning the heater blower switch to the
high revolution position, increase the engine
speed to 2,500 r/min and read the maximum
current output value displayed on the ammeter.
Limit: 70 % of normal current output
NOTE: .
•For the nominal current output, refer to the
Alternator Specifications.
•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.
•The current output value will depend on the
electrical load and the temperature of the
alternator body.
•If the electrical load is small while testing, the
specified level of current may not be output
even though the alternator is normal. In such
cases, increase the electrical load by leaving
the headlamps turned on for some time to dis
-
charge the battery or by using the lighting sys-
tem in another vehicle, and then test again.
•The specified level of current also may not be
output if the temperature of the alternator body
or the ambient temperature is too high. In such
cases, cool the alternator 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 alternator output wire is normal, remove
the alternator from the engine and check the
alternator.
13.Run the engine at idle after the test.
14.Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
15.Remove the tachometer or the M.U.T.-II/III.
16.Disconnect the negative battery cable.
17.Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
18.Connect the negative battery cable.

CAUTION
This test must be performed quickly (in less than
10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
3. Set the switch to "ON", and the pinion will move out.

1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal
of the magnetic switch.
CAUTION
This test must be performed quickly (in less than
10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
2. Connect a 12-volt battery between the S-terminal and M-terminal.
3. If the pinion moves out, the pull-in coil is good. If it doesn't, replace the magnetic switch.

4. If the pinion remains out, everything is in order. If
the pinion moves in, the hold-in circuit is open.

1. Place the starter motor in a vise equipped with soft jaws and connect a fully-charged 12-volt
battery to the starter motor as follows:
2. Connect a test ammeter (100-ampere scale) and carbon pile rheostat in series between the battery
(+) terminal and starter motor terminal.
3. Connect a voltmeter (15-volt scale) across the starter motor.
4. Rotate the rheostat to full-resistance position.
5. Connect the battery c able from the battery (-)
terminal to the starter motor body.
6. Adjust the rheostat until the battery voltage shown
on the voltmeter is 11 V.
7. Confirm that the maximum amperage is within the specifications and that the starter motor turns
smoothly and freely.
Current:
<4G1> maximum 95 Amps
<4G6> maximum 90 Amps
