completely, or another malfunctioning part is detected. Go to
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 6, page RS-60, and repair mal-
functioning part completely.
6. Turn ignition switch “ON”. “AIR BAG” warning lamp operates in
User mode. Compare “AIR BAG” warning lamp operation to
the chart below.
NOTE:
When a malfunction is detected, switch from Diagnosis mode to
user mode by turning the ignition switch as follows:
1) Turn ignition switch “ON”.
2) After “AIR BAG” warning lamp lights for 7 seconds, turn igni-
tion switch “OFF” within 1 second.
3) Wait more than 3 seconds.
4) Repeat steps 1 to 3 three times.
5) Turn ignition switch “ON”.

How to Handle BatteryNJSC0003CAUTION:
If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster
battery and jumper cables,
1) Use a 12-volt booster battery.
2) After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are
tightly clamped to battery terminals for good contact.
3) Never add distilled water through the hole used to check
specific gravity.
MEL040F
METHODS OF PREVENTING OVER-DISCHARGENJSC0003S01The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-discharg-
ing a battery.
The battery surface (particularly its top) should always be kept
clean and dry.
The terminal connections should be clean and tight.
At every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.
This also applies to batteries designated as “low maintenance”
and “maintenance-free”.
MEL041F
When the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period of
time, disconnect the negative battery terminal.
MEL042F
Check the charge condition of the battery.
Periodically check the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Keep
a close check on charge condition to prevent over-discharge.
CHECKING ELECTROLYTE LEVELNJSC0003S02WARNING:
Do not allow battery fluid to come in contact with skin, eyes,
fabrics, or painted surfaces. After touching a battery, do not
touch or rub your eyes until you have thoroughly washed your
hands. If acid contacts eyes, skin or clothing, immediately
flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

MEL043F
Remove the cell plug using a suitable tool.
Add distilled water up to the MAX level.
SEL709E
SulphationNJSC0003S0201A battery will be completely discharged if it is left unattended
for a long time and the specific gravity will become less than
1.100. This may result in sulphation on the cell plates.
To determine if a battery has been “sulphated”, note its volt-
age and current when charging it. As shown in the figure, less
current and higher voltage are observed in the initial stage of
charging sulphated batteries.
A sulphated battery may sometimes be brought back into ser-
vice by means of a long, slow charge, 12 hours or more, fol-
lowed by a battery capacity test.
MEL042FA
SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECKNJSC0003S031. Read hydrometer and thermometer indications at eye level.
2. Convert into specific gravity at 20°C (68°F).
Example:
When electrolyte temperature is 35°C (95°F) and specific grav-
ity of electrolyte is 1.230, converted specific gravity at 20°C
(68°F) is 1.240.
When electrolyte temperature is 0°C (32°F) and specific grav-
ity of electrolyte is 1.210, converted specific gravity at 20°C
(68°F) is 1.196.

Check battery type and determine the specified current using the table shown above.
After starting charging, adjustment of charging current is not necessary.
CAUTION:
Do not use quick charge method on a battery whose specific gravity is less than 1.100.
Set initial charging current to value specified in Fig. 6. If charger is notcapable of producing
specified current value, set its charging current as close to that value aspossible.
Keep battery away from open flame while it is being charged.
When connecting charger, connect leads first, then turn on charger. Do notturn on charger first,
as this may cause a spark.
Be careful of a rise in battery temperature because a large current flow is required during quick-
charge operation.
If battery temperature rises above 60°C (140°F), stop charging. Always charge battery when its
temperature is below 60°C (140°F).
Do not exceed the charging time specified in Fig. 6, because charging battery over the charging
time can cause deterioration of the battery.

System DescriptionNJSC0009The 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. 39, 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 100A 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 30
Ground is supplied to terminal 18 of the combination 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 volt-
age 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.GI

1. Run engine between idle speed and 1,000 rpm.
Make sure temperature of fluid in oil tank rises to 60 to 80°C
(140 to 176°F).
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each “lock” position for five seconds
and carefully check for fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 15 seconds.
4. If fluid leakage at connectors is noticed, loosen flare nut and
then retighten.
Do not overtighten connector as this can damage O-ring,
washer and connector.
5. If fluid leakage from power steering pump is noticed, check
power steering pump. Refer to ST-25.
6. Check rack boots for accumulation of power steering fluid.
