InspectionNJEM0088+Before inspecting the engine, make sure the engine has
cooled down; wait approximately 30 minutes after the engine
has been stopped.
+Visually inspect all belts for wear, damage, or cracks on con-
tacting surfaces and edge areas.
+When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the.
marked point.
+When checking belt deflection immediately after
installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then,
after turning the crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to
the specified value to avoid variation in deflection
between pulleys.
+Tighten idler pulley lock nut by hand and measure deflec-
tion without looseness.

CAUTION:
+When a new belt is installed as a replacement, adjust it to
the value specified under ªNewº accommodations
because of insufficient adaptability with pulley grooves.

+If the belt deflection of the current belt is out of the ªLimit
for re-tighteningº, adjust to the ªAdjusted valueº.
+When checking belt deflection immediately after
installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then,
after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust it to
the specified value to avoid variation in deflection
between pulleys.
+Make sure the belts are fully fitted into the pulley grooves
during installation.
+Handle with care to avoid smearing the belts with oil or
cooling water etc.
+Do not twist or bend the belts with strong force.

System DescriptionNJSC0009SEDANNJSC0009S01The alternator provides DC voltage to operate the vehicle's electrical system and to keep the battery charged.
The voltage output is controlled by the IC regulator.
Power is supplied at all times to alternator terminal 4 (S) through:
+10A fuse (No. 33, located in the fuse and fusible link box).
Terminal B supplies power to charge the battery and operate the vehicle's electrical system. Output voltage
is controlled by the IC regulator at terminal 4 (S) detecting the input voltage. The charging circuit is protected
by the 80A (A/T models with QG13DE engine and M/T models with gasoline engine) or 100A (A/T models
except QG13DE engine and diesel engine models) fusible link.
The alternator is grounded to the engine block.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
+through 10A fuse [No. 30, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
+to combination meter terminal 17 (Models with tachometer) or 22 (Models without tachometer) for the
charge warning lamp.
Ground is supplied to terminal 62 (Models with tachometer) or 61 (Models without tachometer) of the combi-
nation meter through terminal 3 (L) of the alternator. With power and ground supplied, the charge warning lamp
will illuminate. When the alternator is providing sufficient voltage with the engine running, the ground is opened
and the charge warning lamp will go off.
If the charge warning lamp illuminates with the engine running, a fault is indicated.
