Charging System
General Description
Battery DescriptionS6RW0D1A01001
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 battery 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, crystalline 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 or light yellow
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 deterioration. 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.

Care of battery
WARNING!
• Never expose battery to open flame or electric spark because of battery generate gas which is
flammable and explosive.
• Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics, or painted surfaces 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.

1) The battery is a very reliable component, but needs periodical attentions.
• Keep the battery carrier clean.
• Prevent rust formation on the terminal posts.
• Keep the electrolyte up to the upper level uniformly in all cells.
• When keeping battery on vehicle over a long period of time, follow instructions given below.
– Weekly, start the engine and run it until it reaches normal operating temperature with engine speed of 2000 to
3000 rpm. Make sure all electric switches are off before storing the vehicle.
– Recharge the battery twice a month to prevent it from discharging excessively. This is especially important
when ambient temperature is low.
The battery discharges even when it is not used, while vehicles are being stored. Battery electrolyte can
freeze and battery case can crack at cold ambient condition if battery is not properly charged.
2) Keep the battery cable connections clean.
The cable connections, particularly at the positive (+) terminal post, tend to become corroded. The product of
corrosion, or rust, on the mating faces of conductors resists the flow of current.
Clean the terminals and fittings periodically to ensure good metal-to-metal contact, and grease the connections
after each cleaning to protect them against rusting.
3) Be always in the know as to the state of charge of the battery. The simplest way to tell the state of charge is to
carry out a hydrometer test. The hydrometer is an instrument for measuring the specific gravity (S.G.) of the
battery electrolyte. The S.G. of the electrolyte is indicative of the state of charge. Refer to “Battery Inspection”.

Generator DescriptionS6RW0D1A01002
The basic charging system is the IC integral regulator charging system. The internal components are connected
electrically as shown below.
Charging System Circuit
The generator features a solid state regulator that is mounted inside the generator. All regulator components are
enclosed into a solid mold, and this unit along with the brush holder assembly is attached to the rear housing. The
regulator voltage is being controlled by ECM under some conditions while driving. Refer to “Generator Control System
Description in Section 1A” in related manual.
The generator rotor bearings contain enough grease to eliminate the need for periodic lubrication.
Two brushes carry current through the two slip rings to the field coil mounted on the rotor, and under normal conditions
will provide long period of attention-free service.
The stator windings are assembled inside a laminated core that forms part of the generator frame.
A rectifier bridge connected to the stator windings contains diodes, and electrically changes that stator AC. voltages to
a D.C. voltage which appears at the generator output terminal.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures
Battery InspectionS6RW0D1A04001
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 test buy 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 speed for short periods.
• Electrical load exceeding generator output particularly
with addition of aftermarket equipment.
• Defects in charging system such as high resistance,
slipping 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 system 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 DiagnosisS6RW0D1A04002
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 excessive
spewing of electrolyte from vents.
Noise from generator may be caused by loose drive
pulley, loose mounting bolts, worn or dirty bearings,
defective diode, or defective stator.

Charging Indicator Lamp Operation
Generator Test (Undercharged Battery Check)S6RW0D1A04003
This condition, as evidenced by slow cranking or low
specific gravity can be caused by one or more of the
following conditions even though indicator lamp may be
operating normal. The following procedure also applies
to cars with voltmeter and ammeter.
• Make sure that undercharged condition has not been
caused by accessories left on for extended period of
time.
• Check drive belt for proper tension.
• If battery defect is suspected, refer to “Battery
Description”.
• Inspect wiring for defects. Check all connections for
tightness and cleanliness, battery cable connections
at battery, starting motor and ignition ground cable.
