POWER SUPPLY ROUTING
This diagram is helpful in identifying specific prob-
lems
in the power supply portion of the electrical
circuits. For example, let's say
a vehicle has an in-
operative
rear window defogger A quick check
proves that meter and
gauges in the vehicle are
operative The power supply diagram shows that
there cannot be
a problem between the battery,
ignition relay, ignition switch or fuse since the
power supply circuit for the
rear window defogger
Example
BRANCH M/T model
AlT model

@ M/Tmodel

ABBREVIATIONS
is common with the meter and gauges. Therefore,
the cause of this specific problem must
lie past the
fuse, such
as in the wiring, rear window defogger,
or ground.
WIRING DIAGRAM
This diagram identifies types and number of con-
nectors, electrical
terminal positions in the connec-
tor, color coding of wires, and connector codes

BATTERY
CHECKING SPECIFIC GRAVITY
1 Read hydrometer and thermal gauge indica-
tions
as eye level.
Read top level with scale.
CAUTION:
a. If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster battery and jumper cables, use a
12-volt booster battery
b. After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are tightly clamped to battery terminals for good
contact
c. Never add distilled water through the hole used to check specific gravity.
2. Convert into specific gravity at 20°C (68°F)
Example
e When electrolyte temperature is 35°C (95°F)
and specific gravity of electolyte is 1230,
converted specific gravity
at 20°C (68°F) is
Check
- Hydrometer 1 240
When electrolyte temperature
is 0°C (32°F)
and specific gravity of electrolyte
is 1.210,
converted specific gravity
at 20°C (68°F) is
1.196.

BATTERY CAPACITY TEST
1 With battery connected to tester as shown,
turn load knob until
a draw of 3 times the
battery rating
is shown (Example Battery
rating
60AH Turn load to 180A draw )
Hold this draw for 15 seconds, then look at
voltage If voltage remains at 96 volts or
above,
THE BATTERY IS GOOD If voltage
drops below
96 volts, then proceed to next
test

THREE-MINUTE CHARGE TEST

Turn charger to a fast rate not over 40A
After three minutes, check voltmeter reading
If it is over 16 5 volts battery should be re-
placed
