(6) Reconnect the negative battery cable.
(7) Connect a tachometer or the MUT-II.
(Refer to GROUP 11 - On-vehicle Service.)
(8) Leave the hood open.
(9) Start the engine.
(10)With the engine running at 2,500 r/min, turn
the headlamps and other lamps on and off
to adjust the alternator load so that the value
displayed on the ammeter is slightly above 30
A.
Adjust the engine speed by gradually
decreasing it until the value displayed on the
ammeter is 30 A. Take a reading of the value
displayed on the voltmeter at this time.
Limit: max. 0.3 V
NOTE
When the alternator output is high and the value
displayed on the ammeter does not decrease
until 30 A, set the value to 40 A. Read the
value displayed on the voltmeter at this time.
When the value range is 40 A, the limit is max.
0.4 V.(11) If the value displayed on the voltmeter is above
the limit value, there is probably a malfunction
in the alternator output wire, so check the wiring
between the alternator “B” terminal and the
battery (+) terminal (including fusible link).
If a terminal is not sufficiently tight or if the
harness has become discolored due to
overheating, repair and then test again.
(12)After the test, run the engine at idle.
(13)Turn off all lamps and the ignition switch.
(14)Remove the tachometer or the MUT-II.
(15)Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(16)Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
(17)Connect the alternator output wire to the
alternator “B” terminal.

ENGINE ELECTRICAL -Charging System16-6
This test determines whether the alternator output
current is normal.
(1) Before the test, always be sure to check the
following.
DAlternator installation
DBattery (Refer to GROUP 54 - Battery.)
NOTE
The battery should be slightly discharged.
The load needed by a fully-charged battery
is insufficient for an accurate test.
DAlternator drive belt tension
(Refer to GROUP 11 - On-vehicle Service.)
DFusible link
DAbnormal noise from the alternator while
the engine is running.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF)
position.
(3) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(4) Disconnect the alternator output wire from the
alternator “B” terminal. Connect a DC test
ammeter with a range of 0 - 100 A in series
between the “B” terminal and the disconnected
output wire. (Connect the (+) lead of the
ammeter to the “B” terminal. Connect the ( - )
lead of the ammeter to the disconnected output
wire.)
Caution
Never use clips but tighten bolts and nuts
to connect the line. Otherwise loose
connections (e.g. using clips) will lead to
a serious accident because of high current.
NOTE
An inductive-type ammeter which enables
measurements to be taken without
disconnecting the alternator output wire should
be recommended.
(5) Connect a voltmeter with a range of 0 - 20 V
between the alternator “B” terminal and the
earth. (Connect the (+) lead of the voltmeter
to the “B” terminal, and then connect the ( - )
lead of the voltmeter to the earth.)
(6) Connect the negative battery cable.
(7) Connect a tachometer or the MUT-II.
(Refer to GROUP 11 - On-vehicle Service.)
(8) Leave the hood open.
(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 (+)
terminal.(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
DFor the nominal current output, refer to the
Alternator Specifications.
DBecause 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.
DThe current output value will depend on
the electrical load and the temperature of
the alternator body.
DIf 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 discharge the battery or by
using the lighting system in another vehicle,
and then test again.
DThe 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 MUT-II.
(16)Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(17)Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
(18)Connect the alternator output wire to the
alternator “B” terminal.
(19)Connect the negative battery cable.

ACTION WHEN BATTERY RUNS OUT
When the engine is started using a booster cable where the
battery has completely run down and you attempt to start
the vehicle without waiting for the battery to recover a certain
charge, the engine can misfire and you just cannot start to
move it. In such cases, charge the battery sufficiently; or,
remove the AYC battery cable from the battery fuse assembly
to make AYC inactive before attempting to start the vehicles.
When the battery cable is removed, the ACD mode indicator
lamp lights up. After the battery has been recharged, fit the
battery cable back again and start the engine to ensure that
the ACD mode indicator lamp is off.

2. If the brake pedal play is not within the standard value,
check the following, and adjust or replace if necessary:
DExcessive play between the brake pedal and the clevis
pin, or between the clevis pin and the brake booster
operating rod
DBrake pedal height
DInstallation position of the stop lamp switch, etc.
CLEARANCE BETWEEN BRAKE PEDAL AND FLOOR
BOARD
1. Turn up the carpet etc. under the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine, depress the brake pedal with
approximately 500 N of force, and measure the clearance
between the brake pedal and the floorboard.
Standard value (C): 90 mm or more
3. If the clearance is outside the standard value, check for
air trapped in the brake line and thickness of the disc
brake pad and dragging in the parking brake.
Adjust and replace defective parts as required.
4. Return the carpet, etc.
BRAKE BOOSTER OPERATING TEST
For simple checking of the brake booster operation, carry
out the following tests:
1. Run the engine for one or two minutes, and then stop
it.
If the pedal depresses fully the first time but gradually
becomes higher when depressed succeeding times, the
booster is operating properly. If the pedal height remains
unchanged, the booster is defective.
2. With the engine stopped, step on the brake pedal several
times.
Then start the engine while the brake pedal is stepped
on.
If the pedal moves downward slightly, the booster is in
good condition. If there is no change, the booster is
defective.
3. With the engine running, step on the brake pedal and
then stop the engine.
Hold the pedal depressed for 30 seconds. If the pedal
height does not change, the booster is in good condition.
If the pedal rises, the booster is defective.
If the above three tests are okay, the booster performance
can be determined as good.
If one of the above three tests is not okay at least, the check
valve, vacuum hose, or booster will be defective.
