Charging System
General Description
Battery DescriptionS7RS0B1A01001
The battery has three major functions in the electrical
system.
• It is a source of electrical energy for cranking the engine.
• It acts as a voltage stabilizer for the electrical system.
• It can, for a limited time, provide energy when the electrical load exceeds the output of the generator.
Carrier and Hold-Down
The battery carrier should be in good condition so that it
will support the battery securely and keep it level. Before
installing the battery, the ba ttery carrier and hold-down
clamp should be clean and free from corrosion and
make certain there are no parts in carrier.
To prevent the battery from shaking in its carrier, the
hold-down bolts should be tight enough but not over-
tightened.
Electrolyte Freezing
The freezing point of electrolyte depends on its specific
gravity. Since freezing may ruin a battery, it should be
protected against freezing by keeping it in a fully
charged condition. If a battery is frozen accidentally, it
should not be charged until it is warmed.
Sulfation
If the battery is allowed to stand for a long period in
discharged condition, the lead sulfate becomes
converted into a hard, cryst alline substance, which will
not easily turn back to the active material again during
the subsequent recharging. “Sulfation” means the result
as well as the process of that reaction. Such a battery
can be revived by very slow charging and may be
restored to usable condition but its capacity is lower than
before. Built-In Indicator (If Equipped)
The battery has a built-in temperature compensated
indicator in the top of the battery. This indicator is to be
used with the following diagnostic procedure. When
checking the indicator, make sure that the battery has a
clean top. A light may be needed in some poorly-lit
areas.
Three types of indication available under normal
operation are as follows.
•
Green dot
Battery is sufficiently charged for testing.
• Dark
Battery must be charged before testing. If there is a
cranking complaint, battery should be tested as
described in “Battery Inspection”. Charging and
electrical systems should also be checked at this time.
• Clear
This means that fluid level is below the bottom of
hydrometer. Its possible cause is excessive or
prolonged charging, a broken case, excessive tipping
or normal battery deteriorat ion. When the battery is
found in such condition, it is possible that high
charging voltage is caused by the faulty charging
system and therefore, charging and electrical systems
need to be checked. If there is a trouble in cranking
and its cause lies in the battery, it should be replaced.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures
Battery InspectionS7RS0B1A04001
Common Causes of Failure
A battery is not designed to last indefinitely; however, with proper care, it will provide many years of service. If the
battery performs satisfactorily during te st but fails to operate properly for no apparent reason, the following are some
factors that may point to the cause of trouble:
• Accessories left on overnight or for an extended period without the generator operating.
• Slow average driving speeds for short periods.
• Electrical load exceeding generator output partic ularly with addition of aftermarket equipment.
• Defects in charging system such as high resistance, s lipping drive belt, loose generator output terminal, faulty
generator or voltage regulator, Refer to “Generator Symptom Diagnosis”.
• Battery abuse, including failure to keep battery cable terminals clean and tight or loose battery hold down.
• Mechanical problems in electrical sys tem such as shorted or pinched wires.
Visual Inspection
Check for obvious damage, such as cracked or broken case or cover, that could permit loss of electrolyte. If obvious
damage is noted, replace battery. Determine cause of damage and correct as needed.
Generator Symptom DiagnosisS7RS0B1A04002
CAUTION!
• Do not mistake polarities of “IG” terminal and “L” terminal.
• Do not create short circuit between “IG” and “L” terminals. Always connect these terminals through a lamp.
• Do not connect any load between “L” and “E” terminals.
• When connecting charger or booster battery to vehicle battery, refer to “Jump Starting in Case of Emergency”.

Trouble in charging system will show up as one or more of the following conditions:
1) Faulty indicator lamp operation.
2) An undercharged battery as evidenced by slow cranking or indicator dark.
3) An overcharged battery as evidenced by ex cessive spewing of electrolyte from vents.

Jump Starting in Case of EmergencyS7RS0B1A06001
CAUTION!
If vehicle is manual transaxle model and has
a catalytic converter, do not push or tow it to
start. Damage to its emission system and/or
to other parts may result.

Both booster and discharged battery should be treated
carefully when using ju mper cables. Follow the
procedure outlined as follows, being careful not to cause
sparks.
WARNING!
• Departure from these conditions or procedure described as follows could
result in:
– Serious personal injury (particularly to eyes) or property damage from such
causes as battery explosion, battery
acid, or electrical burns.
– Damage to electronic components of either vehicle.
• Remove rings, watches, and other jewelry. Wear approved eye protection.
• Be careful so that metal tools or jumper cables do not contact positive battery
terminal (or metal in contact with it) and
any other metal on vehicle, because a
short circuit could occur. • Never expose battery to open flame or
electric spark. Batteries generate gas
which is flammable and explosive.
• Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics, or painted surface as fluid is
a corrosive acid. Flush any contacted area
with water immediately and thoroughly.
• Batteries should always be kept out of reach of children.
• Do not connect negative cable directly to negative terminal of dead battery.

1) Set parking brake and place automatic transaxle in PARK (NEUTRAL on manual transaxle). Turn off
ignition, turn off lights and all other electrical loads.
2) Check electrolyte level. If it is below low level line, add distilled water.
3) Attach end of one jumper cable to positive terminal of booster battery and the other end of the same
cable to positive terminal of discharged battery. (Use
12-volt battery only to jump start engine).
4) Attach one end of the remaining negative cable to negative terminal of booster battery, and the other
end to a solid engine ground (such as exhaust
manifold) at least 45 cm (18 in.) away from battery of
vehicle being started.
5) Start engine of vehicle with booster battery and turn off electrical accessories. Then start engine of the
vehicle with discharged battery.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures
Brakes Diagnosis NoteS7RS0B4104001
Road Testing Brakes
Brakes should be tested on dry, clean, smooth and
reasonably level roadway which is not crowned. Road
test brakes by making brake applications with both light
and heavy pedal forces at vari ous speeds to determine if
the vehicle stops evenly and effectively. Also drive
vehicle to see if it leads to one side or the other without
brake application. If it does, check the tire pressure, front
wheel alignment and front suspension attachments for
looseness. See diagnosis table for other causes. Brake Fluid Leaks
Check the master cylinder fl
uid levels. While a slight
drop in reservoir level does result from normal lining
wear, an abnormally low leve l indicates a leak in the
system. In such a case, chec k the entire brake system
for leakage. If even a slight ev idence of leakage is noted,
the cause should be corrected or defective parts should
be replaced.
Substandard or Contaminated Brake Fluid
Improper brake fluid, mineral oil or water in the fluid may
cause the brake fluid to boil or the rubber components in
the hydraulic system to deteriorate.

If deterioration of rubber is evident, disassemble all
hydraulic parts and wash with alcohol. Dry these parts
with compressed air before assembly to keep alcohol out
of the system. Replace all rubber parts in the system,
including hoses. Also, when working on the brake
mechanisms, check for fluid on the linings.
If excessive fluid is found, replace the pads. If master cylinder piston seals
are satisfactory, check for
leakage or excessive heat co nditions. If leakage is not
found, drain fluid, flush with brake fluid, refill and bleed
system.
The system must be flushed if there is any doubt as to
the grade of fluid in the system or if fluid has been used
which contained parts that have been subjected to
contaminated fluid.
