CAUTION:
lDo not use standard charge method on a battery whose specific gravity is less than 1.100.
lSet charging current to value specified in Fig. 4. If charger is not capable of producing specified
current value, set its charging current as close to that value as possible.
lKeep battery away from open flame while it is being charged.
lWhen connecting charger, connect leads first, then turn on charger. Do not turn on charger first,
as this may cause a spark.
lIf battery temperature rises above 60°C(140°F), stop charging. Always charge battery when its
temperature is below 60°C (140°F).

Fig. 6 INITIAL CHARGING CURRENT SETTING AND CHARGING TIME (Quick charge)
lCheck battery type and determine the specified current using the table shown above.
lAfter starting charging, adjustment of charging current is not necessary.
CAUTION:
lDo not use quick charge method on a battery whose specific gravity is less than 1.100.
lSet initial charging current to value specified in Fig. 6. If charger is not capable of producing spec-
ified current value, set its charging current as close to that value as possible.
lKeep battery away from open flame while it is being charged.
lWhen connecting charger, connect leads first, then turn on charger. Do not turn on charger first,
as this may cause a spark.
lBe 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).
lDo not exceed the charging time specified in Fig. 6, because charging battery over the charging
time can cause deterioration of the battery.

CHARGING SYSTEM
CHARGING SYSTEM
PFP:00011
System DescriptionEKS00316
The 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:
l120A (Gasoline engine models) or 100A (Diesel engine models) fusible link (letter A, located in the fuse
and fusible link box), and
l10A fuse (No.34, 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 120A (Gasoline engine models) or 100A (Diesel engine models) link.
The alternator is grounded to the engine block.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
l10A fuse [No. 11, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
lto combination meter terminal 46 (LHD models) or terminal 59 (RHD models) for the charge warning
lamp.
Ground is supplied With power and ground supplied
lto terminal 64 (LHD models) or terminal 54 ( RHD models) of the combination meter
lthrough terminal 3 (L) of the alternator.
the charge warning lamp will illuminate. When the alternator is providing sufficient voltage with the engine run-
ning, 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.

Trouble Diagnoses
EKS00319
Before conducting an alternator test, make sure that the battery is fully charged. A 30-volt voltmeter and suit-
able test probes are necessary for the test. The alternator can be checked easily by referring to the Inspection
Table.
lBefore starting, inspect the fusible link.
lUse fully charged battery.
WITH IC REGULATOR
NOTE:
lIf the inspection result is OK even though the charging system is malfunctioning, check the B terminal
connection. (Check the tightening torque.)
lWhen field circuit is open, check condition of rotor coil, rotor slip ring and brush. If necessary, replace
faulty parts with new ones.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR
The IC regulator warning function activates to illuminate “CHARGE” warning lamp, if any of the following
symptoms occur while alternator is operating:
lExcessive voltage is produced.
lNo voltage is produced.
Removal and InstallationEKS0031A
