–+ELECCHARGING SYSTEM
MEASURING THE CHARGING VOLTAGE
• Connect the engine tachometer to the
ignition coil of cylinder #1.
Refer to “SYNCHRONIZING THE THROT-
TLE BODIES” in chapter 3.
• Connect the pocket tester (DC 20V) to the
battery as shown.
• Start the engine and let it run at approxi-
mately 1,100 r/min.
• Measure the charging voltage.
NOTE:
• Make sure that the battery is fully
charged.
• When measuring, turn off the headlights
and make sure that no load is applied.
• Is the charging voltage within specifica-
tion?
Yes ® OK.
No ® Measure the stator coil assembly
resistance. Tester positive probe ®
battery positive terminal
Tester negative probe ®
battery negative terminal
Charging voltage
12 V at 1,100 r/min
MEASURING THE STATOR COIL
ASSEMBLY RESISTANCES
• Disconnect the generator coupler from
the wire harness.
• Connect the pocket tester (W ´ 1) to the
stator coil assembly coupler as shown.
• Measure the stator coil assembly resis-
tances.
• Is the stator coil assembly OK?
Yes ® OK.
No ® Replace. Tester positive probe ® white 1
Tester negative probe ® white 2
Tester positive probe ® white 1
Tester negative probe ® white 3
Stator coil resistance
