(c) Turn the defogger switch ON and check that the test bulb andindicator light turn ON, then turn OFF after about 15 minutes.
If operation is not as specified, replace the air conditioner control
panel assembly.

INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF
DEFOGGER WIRES
1. INSPECT DEFOGGER WIRESNOTICE:
w When cleaning the glass, use a soft, dry cloth, and wipe
the glass in the direction of the wire. Take care not to
damage the wires.
w Do not use detergents or glass cleaners with abrasive
ingredients.
w When measuring voltage, wind a piece of tin foil around
the top of the negative probe and press the foil against
the wire with your finger as shown.
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Turn the defogger switch ON.
(c) Inspect the voltage at the center of each heat wire as
shown.
Voltage Criteria
Approx. 5 VOkay (No break in wire) Approx. 10 V or 0 V Broken wire
HINT: If there is approximately 10 volts, the wire is broken be-
tween the center of the wire and the positive (+) end. If there
is no voltage, the wire is broken between the center of the
wire and ground.

(d) Place the voltmeter positive (+) lead against the defoggerpositive (+) terminal.
(e) Place the voltmeter negative (±) lead with the foil strip against
the heat wire at the positive (+) terminal end and slide it
toward the negative (±) terminal end.
(f) The point where the voltmeter deflects from zero to several volts is the place where the heat wire is broken.
HINT: IF the heat wire is not broken, the voltmeter indicates 0 volts
at the positive (+) end of the heat wire but gradually increases to
about 12 volts as the meter probe is moved to the other end.
2. REPAIR DEFOGGER WIRES (a) Clean the broken wire tips with a grease, wax andsilicone remover.
(b) Place the masking tape along both sides of the wire to be repaired.
(c) Thoroughly mix the repair agent (Dupont paste No. 4817).
(d) Using a fine tip brush, apply a small amount to the wire.
(e) After a few minutes, remove the masking tape.
(f) Allow the repair to stand at least 24 hours.

INSPECT MIRROR DEFOGGER
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 7 (4)
and the negative (±) lead to terminal 8 (5).
(b) Check that the mirror becomes warm. HINT: It will take a short time for the mirror to become warm.
If the mirror does not become warm, replace the mirror as-
sembly.

DESCRIPTION
The alternator is a small, high±rpm, high±performance type with an IC\
regulator incorporated. The IC regula-
tor uses integrated circuits and controls the voltage produced by the alter\
nator.
PRECAUTIONS
1. Check that the battery cables are connected to the correct terminals.
2. Disconnect the battery cables when the battery is given a quick charge.
3. Do not perform tests with a high voltage insulation resistance tester.
4. Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running. CH±2

SYSTEM CIRCUIT
OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned ON, current from the battery flows from t\
erminal L of the alternator through
the IC regulator to terminal E, causing the discharge warning light to ligh\
t up. Then when the engine is started, the voltage output increases as the alt\
ernator rpm increases. When the
voltage output becomes greater than the battery voltage, current for recharging\
flows from terminal B. Simulta-
neously, volt age at terminal L increases and the potential difference between battery and terminal L disappears,
causing the discharge warning light to go off. When the voltage output exceeds the regulator adjustment volt-
age, the transistor inside the IC regulator regulates the voltage so tha\
t the voltage from the alternator remains
constant.
