UNDERCHARGED BATTERY
This condition, as evidenced by slow cranking or indicator clear
with red dot can be caused by one or more of the following condi-
tions even though indicator lamp may be operating normal.
Following procedure also applies to cars with voltmeter and
ammeter.
1) Make sure that undercharged condition has not been caused
by accessories left on for extended period of time.
2) Check drive belt for proper tension.
3) If battery defect is suspected, refer to BATTERY section.
4) Inspect wiring for defects. Check all connections for tight-
ness and cleanliness, battery cable connections at battery,
starting motor and ignition ground cable.
5) Connect voltmeter and ammeter as shown in the figure.
6) Measure current and voltage.
No-load Check
1) Run engine from idling up to 2,000 rpm and read meters.
Standard current
10 A maximum
Standard voltage
14.4 – 15.0 V (at 20 °C, 68 °F)
Higher Voltage
If voltage is higher than standard value, check ground of brushes.
If brushes are not grounded, replace IC regulator.
Lower Voltage
If voltage is below or in standard value, increase engine speed up
to 2,000 – 2,500 rpm soon after starting engine, and read maxi-
mum value on ammeter immediately.
If current is less than 49 A, repair or replace generator.NOTE:
Use fully charged battery.

6. Switch
NOTE:
Turn off switches of all accessories (wiper, heater etc.).
NOTE:
Consideration should be taken that voltage will differ
somewhat with regulator case temperature as shown in
the graph.
