1. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1) Battey
The sealed battery is standard on all cars. There are no vent plugs in the cover. 
The battery is completely sealed, except for two small vent holes in the sides.
These vent holes allow the small amount of gas produced in the battery to escape. 
The battery has the following advantages over conventional batteries:
No water addition  for the life of the battery.
Overcharge protection.  If too much voltage is applied  to the battery,  it will not accept  as much 
current as a conventional  battery. 
In a conventional  battery,  the excess  voltage  will still try to charge  the battery,  leading
to gassing,  which causes liquid loss.
Not as liable  to  self-discharge  as a conventional  battery.  This is particularly  important  when  a 
battery is left standing  for long periods  of time.
More power  available  in a lighter,  smaller case. ·
·
·
·
The battery  has three  major  functions  in the  electrical  system. 
First, the battery provides  a source of energy for cranking  the engine. 
Second,  the battery  acts  as a voltage  stabilizer  for  the electrical  system.  Finally, the battery
can, for a limited time, provide energy when the electrical  demand  exceeds  the output  of  the 
generator.

time a fully charged battery will provide 25 amperes of current flow at or above 10.5 volts (2) a 
cold cranking am
p rating determined under testing at -18°C(0°F), which indicates the cranking 
load capacity. ▶
(1)Reserve Capacity
The reserve capacity (RC) is the maximum length of time it is possible to travel at night with the 
minimum electrical load and no generator output. Expressed in minutes, the RC rating is the time 
required for a fully charged battery, at a temperature of 27°C(80°F) and being discharged at a 
current of 25 amperes, to reach a terminal voltage of 10.5 volts.

(2) Cold Cranking Amperage
The cold  cranking  amperage  test  is expressed  at a battery  temperature  of -18°C(0°F). 
The current  rating  is the minimum  amperage,  which  must be maintained  by the battery  for  30 
seconds at the specified  temperature, while meeting a minimum voltage requirement of 7.2 volts.
This rating  is a measure  of  cold  cranking  capacity.
The battery is not designed  to last indefinitely.  However, with proper care, the battery will provide 
many years of service.  If the battery  tests  well, but fails to perform  satisfactorily  in service for no 
apparent  reason,  the following  factors  may point  to the cause  of  the trouble:
Vehicle accessories  are left on overnight.
Slow average driving  speeds  are used for  short  periods.
The vehicle's  electrical  load is more than the generator  output,  particularly  with the addition  of 
aftermarket equipment.
Defects in the charging system, such as electrical shorts, a slipping generator belt, a faulty 
generator, or a faulty voltage regulator.
Battery abuse, including  failure to keep the battery cable terminals clean and tight or a loose 
battery hold-down  clamp.
Mechanical problems in the electrical system, such as shorted or pinched  wires. ·

3) Charging Time Required
The time required to charge a battery will vary depending upon the following factors:
Size of Battery - A Completely discharged large heavy-duty  battery required more than twice 
the recharging  time as a completely  discharged  small passenger  car battery. ▶

27°C(80°F). 
When a fast charger is connected to a cold battery, the current accepted by the battery will be 
very low at first. 
The battery will accept a higher current rate as the battery warms. ▶
Charger Capacity  -  A charger  which can supply only 5 amperes will require a much longer 
charging period than a charger that can supply 30 amperes or more. ▶
State-of-Charge  - A completely discharged battery requires more than twice as much charge 
as a onehalf  charged  battery. 
Because  the  electrolyte  is nearly pure  water  and  a poor  conductor  in a completely  discharged 
battery,  the current  accepted  by the battery  is very low at first.  Later, as the charging  current 
causes the electrolyte  acid content  to increase,  the charging  current will likewise increase. ▶

4) Charging a Completely Discharged Battery (Off the Vehicle)
Unless this procedure is properly followed, a perfectly good battery may be needlessly replaced. 
The following procedure should be used to recharge a completely discharged battery:
Measure the voltage  at the battery  terminals  with an accurate  voltmeter. 
If the reading  is below  10 volts,  the charge  current  will be very low,  and it could  take some
time before  the battery  accepts  the current  in excess  of  a few milliamperes. 
Refer to "Charging  Time Required"  in this  section,  which  focuses  on the factors  affecting 
both  the charging  time required.  Such low current  may not be detectable  on ammeters 
available in the field.
Set the battery  charger  on the high setting. 1.
2.
Continue to charge the battery until the charge current is measurable. Battery chargers vary 
in the amount of voltage and current provided. The time required for the battery to accept a 
measurable charger current at various voltages may be as follows: 3.
If the charge current is not measurable at the end of the above charging times, the battery 
should be replaced.
If the charge current is measurable during the charging time, the battery is good, and 
charging should be completed in the normal manner. ·
·
If the charge current is still not measurable after using the charging time calculated by the 
above method, the battery should be replaced. ·
It is important to remember that a completely discharged battery must be recharged for a 
sufficient number of ampere hours (AH) to restore the battery to a usable state.

5) Jump Starting Procedure
Position the vehicle with the charged battery so that the jumper cables will reach from the 
charged battery to the battery that requires charging.
Turn off the ignition, all the lights, and all the electrical loads in both vehicles.
Leave the hazard flasher on if jump starting where there may be other traffic and any other 
lights needed for the work area.
Apply the parking brake firmly in both vehicles. 1.

4.
Shift an automatic transmission to PARK. 5.
Clamp one end of the first jumper cable to the positive terminal on the booster battery. Make 
sure it does not touch any other metal parts.
Clamp the other end of the same cable to the positive terminal on the discharged battery. 
Never connect the other end to the negative terminal of the discharged battery. 6.
7.
Clamp one end of the second  cable  to the negative  terminal of the booster  battery.
Make the final connection  to a solid engine ground,  such as the engine lift bracket at least 450 
millimeters (18 inches) from the discharged  battery.
Start the engine  of  the vehicle  with the good  battery. 
Run the engine  at a moderate  speed  for  several minutes.
Then start the engine  of  the vehicle  with the discharged  battery.
Remove the jumper  cables  by reversing the above  sequence  exactly,  removing  the negative 
cable  from  the vehicle  with the discharged  battery  first. 
While removing  each clamp,  take care that it does not touch  any other metal while the other 
end remains attached. 8.

6) Alternator
Alternators are equipped  with internal regulators. 
Unlike three-wire  generators,  the alternator  may be used  with only two  connections:  battery 
positive  and an "D+" terminal to the charge  indicator  lamp.
As with other charging  systems,  the charge  indicator  lamp lights  when the ignition  switch  is turned 
to RUN, and goes  out when the engine  is running. 
If the charge  idicator  is on with the engine  running,  a charging  system  defect  is indicated.  This 
indicator  light will glow at full brilliance  for several kinds of defects  as well as when the system 
voltage is too high or too low.
The regulator  voltage  setting  varies  with  temperature  and limits  the system  voltage  by controlling 
rotor field current.
Achieve correct  average field current for proper system voltage control  by varying the on-off  time. 
At high speeds,  the on-time  may be 10 percent  and the off-time  90 percent. 
At low speeds,  with high electrical  loads,  the on-time  may be 90 percent  and the off-time  10 
percent.
7) Charging System
Generators  use a new  type  of  regulator  that  incorporates  a diode  trio. 
A Delta stator,  a rectifier  bridge,  and  a rotor  with  slip  rings  and  brushes  are electrically  similar
to earlier generators. 
A conventional  pulley  and  fan  are used. 
There is no  test  hole.
8) Starter
Wound field starter motors have pole pieces,  arranged around the armature, which are energized 
by wound  field  coils.
Enclosed shift lever cranking motors have the shift lever mechanism and the solenoid plunger 
enclosed  in the drive housing,  protecting  them from  exposure  to dirt,  icy conditions,  and 
splashes. 
In the basic circuit, solenoid windings are energized when the switch is closed. 
The resulting plunger and shift lever movement causes the pinion to engage the engine flywheel 
ring gear. 
The solenoid  main  contacts  close.  Cranking  then  takes  place.
When the engine starts, pinion overrun protects  the armature from excessive speed until the 
switch  is opened,  at which  time  the return spring  causes  the pinion  to disengage.
To prevent  excessive  overrun,  the switch  should  be released  immediately  after  the engine  starts.

9) Starting System
The engine  electrical  system  includes  the battery,  the ignition,  the starter,  the generator,  and all 
the related  wiring.
Diagnostic  tables will aid in troubleshooting  system faults.  When a fault is traced to a particular 
component,  refer to that component  section  of the service manual. 
The starting  system  circuit  consists  of the battery,  the starter motor,  the ignition  switch,  and all the 
related electrical  wiring. 
All of  these  components  are connected  electrically.

1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1) System Description
The cruise control is an automatic speed control system that maintains a desired driving speed 
without using the accelerator pedal.
The vehicle speed must be greater than 38 km/h to engage the cruise control. This feature is 
especially useful for motorway driving.
The cruise control system is a supplementary system, which helps the driver to drive the vehicle 
at a desired speed without using the accelerator pedal under the traffic condition where the 
vehicle-to-vehicle distance meets the legal requirement.

2) Traffic Conditions for Using Cruise Control
Use the cruise control system only when the traffic is not jammed, driving on motorways or 
highways where there is no sudden change in the driving condition due to traffic lights, pedestrian, 
etc.
Improper use of the cruise control could be dangerous.
- Do not use on winding roadsyy .
- Do not use in heavy traffic.
- Do not use on slippery, wet roads.
This could result in a loss of control, collision, and/or personal injuries.

2. CONFIGURATION
1) Circuit Diagram
The engine ECU detects the operating conditions of cruise control system, and monitors the 
braking performance, vehicle speed, road conditions and ESP system operation. If the engine 
ECU determines that there are not any problem to drive in cruise control mode, the vehicle can be 
operated by cruise switch signals (decelerating, accelerating, cruising).
