CHARGING SYSTEM - General Information 8-71
CHARGING SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
NOBEMD
The charging system comprises battery, alternator with regulator, charging indicator light and wire.
The alternator has 6 built in rectifiers (3 positive and 3 negative), which rectify alternating current to direct current.
Accordingly, the alternator terminal B is D/C. Furthermore the alternator regulates the charge voltage through the
use of battery voltage detection system.
The main parts of the alternator are: rotor, stator, rectifier, condenser, brush, bearing, drive belt pulley and a
brush holder with built in electronic voltage regulator.

OUTPUT CURRENT TEST
This test judges whether or not the alternator gives an output
current that is equivalent to the nominal output.
Preparation
(1) Prior to the test, check the following items and correct as
necessary.
(a) Check the battery installed in the vehicle to ensure that it
is in sound state*. The battery checking method is de-
scribed in “BATTERY”.
NOTE
*The battery that is used to test the output current should
be one that has been rather discharged. With a fully
charged battery, the test may not be conducted correctly
due to an insufficient load.
(b) Check tension of the alternator drive belt. The belt tension
check method is described in “GROUP 7 COOLING -
Service Adjustment Procedures”.
(2) Turn off the ignition switch.
(3) Disconnect the battery ground cable.
(4) Disconnect the alternator output wire from the alternator “B”
terminal.
(5) Connect a DC ammeter (0 to 100 A) in series between the “B”
terminal and the disconnected output wire. Connect the (+)
lead of the ammeter to the “B” terminal and connect the (-)
lead wire to the disconnected output wire.
NOTE
Tighten each connection by bolt and nut securely as a heavy
current will flow. Do not relay on clips.
(6) Connect a voltmeter (0 to 20 V) between the “B” terminal and
ground. Connect the (+) lead wire to the alternator “B” ter-
minal and (-) lead wire to a sound ground.
(7) Set the engine tachometer and connect the battery ground
cable.
(8) Leave the engine hood open.
Test
(1) Check to see that the voltmeter reads the same value as the
battery voltage.
If the voltmeter reads 0 V, an open circuit in the wire between
the alternator “B” terminal and battery (-) terminal, a blown
fusible link or poor grounding is suspected.
(2) Turn on the headlight switch and start the engine.
(3) Set the headlight at high beam and the heater blower switch
at HIGH, quickly increase the engine speed to 2500 rpm and
read the maximum output current value indicated by the am-
meter.
NOTE
After the engine start up, the charging current quickly drops.
therefore, above operation must be done quickly to read max-
imum current value correctly.

CHARGING SYSTEM - Service Adjustment Procedures 8-79
Result
(1) The ammeter reading must be higher than the limit value. If it
is lower but the alternator output wire is normal, remove the
alternator from the vehicle and check it.
Limit value : 31 A min.
Caution
1. The nominal output current value is shown on the
nameplate affixed to the alternator body.
2. The output current value changes with the electrical
load and the temperature of the alternator itself.
Therefore, the nominal output current may not be ob-
tained if the vehicle electrical load at the time of test is
small. In such a case, keep the headlights on to cause
discharge of the battery or use lights of another vehi-
cle as a load to increase the electrical load. The nom-
inal output current may not be obtained if the temper-
ature of the alternator itself or abmient temperature is
too high. In such a case, reduce the temperature be-
fore testing again.
(2) Upon completion of the output current test, lower the engine
speed to the idle speed and turn off the ignition switch.
(3) Disconnect the battery ground cable.
(4) Remove the test ammeter and voltmeter and the engine ta-
chometer.
(5) connect the alternator output wire to the alternator “B” ter-
minal.
(6) Connect the battery ground cable.
REGULATED VOLTAGE TEST
The purpose of this test is to check that the electronic voltage
regulator controls the voltage correctly.
Preparation
(1) Prior to the test, check the following items and correct if nec-
essary.
(a) Check the battery installed on the vehicle to see that it is
fully charged. For battery checking method, see “BAT-
TERY”.
(b) Check the alternator drive belt tension. For belt tension
check, see “GROUP 7 COOLING - Service Adjustment
Procedures”.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to “OFF”.
(3) Disconnect the battery ground cable.
(4) Connect a digital voltmeter between the “S” terminal of the
alternator and ground. Connect the (+) lead of the voltmeter to
the “S” terminal of the alternator, inserting from the wire side
of the 2-way connector and connect the (-1 lead to sound
ground or battery (-) terminal.

SERVICE POINTS OF INSTALLATION
2. INSTALLATION OF ALTERNATOR
(1) Position the alternator and insert the support bolt. (Do not
attach the nut.)
(2) Push the alternator forward and determine how many
spacers [thickness: 0.198 mm (.0078 in.)] should be
inserted between the front leg of the alternator and the
front case (space A in the illustration). (There should be
enough spacers so that they do not fall out when you let
go of them.)
(3) Insert the spacers (space A in the illustration), attach the
nut, and complete the installation.
