Battery
Test
@l. Battery lluid lelectrolytel contalns sulfuric acid. lt may cause severe burns it it gets on your skin ol in your eyes Wear
protective clothing and a face shield.
- It eleqtlolyte gets on your skin or clothes, rinse it off with watel immediately
- lf electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush it out by splashing water in your eyes for at least 15 minutes; call a physician
immediately.
. A battery gives off hydrogen gas. lf ignited, the hydrogen will explode and could crack the battery case and splatter
acid on you. Keep sparks, flames, and Gigarettes away from the battery'
o Overchaiging will raise the temperature oI the electrolyte. This may force electrolyte to spray out ot ths battery vents'
Follow the charger manufacturel's instrustions, and chalge the battery at a propcr rate.
Use either a JCI or Bear ARBST tester. and follow the manufacturer's procedures. lf you don't have one of these comput-
erized testers, follow this conventional test procedure:
ToqetaccurateresuIts,thetemperatureoftheeIectro|ytemustbebetweenT0"F(21.c)and100"F(38.c}'
lf the case is cracked or the posts are loose, replace
the battery.
lf rhe indicator shows low electrolyte, add distilled
water if Possible.
EYE lndicates OK
Test Load CaPacitY (#l )
. Apply 300 amp load for 15 seconds to remove
surface charge.. Allow 15 seconds recovery Perloo.. Apply test load {see Test Load Chan).
. Record voltage at the end of l5 seconds.
Drops below 9.6 volts.Stays above 9.6 volts;
battery is OK.

JArmature Inspection and Test
1.Inspect the armature for wear or damage due to con-
tact with the permanent magnet or field winding.
. lf there is wear or damage. replace the armature.
Inspect for damage.
2. Check commutator surface and diameter.
. lf the surface is dirty or burnt. resurface with emery
cloth or a lathe within the following specifications,
or recondition with #500 or #600 sandpaper.
. lf commutator diameter is below the service limit,
replace the armature.
Commutator Diameter

3. Measure the commutator runout.
. lf the commutator runout is within the service
limit, check the commutator for carbon dust or
brass chips betlveen the segments.
. lf the commutator runout is not within the ser-
vice limit, replace the armature.

-Performance Test
NOTE: Before staning the following checks. disconnect
the wire from terminal M. and make a connection as
described below using as heavy a wire as possible (prefer-
ably equivalent to the wire used for the car).
Pull-in CoilTest:
Connect the battery as shown, lf the staner pinion pops
out. it is working proPerly.
CAUTION: Do not leavo tho batterv connost€d for more
than 10 seconds.
Hold-in Coil Test:
Disconnect the battery from the M terminal' lf the pinion
does not retract, the hold-in coil is working properly.
CAUTION: Do not loavc lhe battsry connected for mot6
than 10 ssconds.
Retracting Tosi:
Disconnect the battery also from the body. lf the pinion
retracts immediately, it is working properly.
GAUTION: Do not loave the baftery conn€ctod tor more
than 10 seconds.
Startor No-load Tost:
Clamp the starter firmly in a vise.

-lgnition Timing Inspection and Setting
1.Check the idle speed, and adjust it it necessary (see
section 'l '1 ).
Pull out the service check connector 2P (BRN and BLK
wires) from the connector holder located under the
dash on the front passenger side, then connect the
SCS service connector (T/N 07PAZ - 0010'100) to it.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3.000 rpm with
no load {A,/T in E or E. M/T in neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Connect the timing light to the No. 1 ignition wire,
then point the light toward the pointer on the timing
belt cover.
Check the ignition timing in no load conditions:
headlights. blower fan, rear window defogger, and
air conditioner are not operating.
