2. INSPECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS
(a) Disconnect the high-tension cords from the spark plugs.
(1) Disconnect the high-tension cords at the rubber
boot. Do not pull on the cords.
NOTICE:
Pulling on or bending the cords may damage the conductor
inside.
(2) Disconnect the high-tension cords from the clamp.
(b) Disconnect the high-tension cords from the ignition coils.
(1) Using a screwdriver, lift up the lock claw and discon-
nect the holder from the ignition coils.
(2) Disconnect the high-tension cord at the grommet.
(3) Do not pull on the cord.
NOTICE:
Pulling on or bending the cords may damage the conductor
inside. Do not wipe any of the oil from the grommet after the
high-tension cord is disconnected.
(c) Reconnect the high-tension cords to the ignition coils.
Maximum resistance: 25 kW per cord
If the resistance is greater than maximum, check the terminals.
If necessary, replace the high-tension cord.
(d) Reinstall the high-tension cords.
(1) Assemble the holder and grommet.
(2) Align the spline of the ignition coil with the spline of
the holder, and push in the cord.
NOTICE:
Check that the holder is correctly installed to the grommet
and distributor cap as shown in the illustration.
(3) Check that the lock claw of the holder is engaged by
lightly pulling the holder.
(4) Connect the high-tension cords to the clamp.
(e) Reconnect high-tension cords to spark plugs.

If the belt tension is not as specified, adjust it.
HINT:
ºNew beltº refers to a belt which has been used less than
5 minutes on a running engine.
ºUsed beltº refers to a belt which has been used on a run-
ning engine for 5 minutes or more.
After installing a belt, check that it fits properly in the
ribbed grooved.
Check by hand to confirm that the belt has not slipped out
of the groove on the bottom of the pulley.
After installing a new belt, run the engine for about 5 min-
utes and recheck the belt tension.
4. VISUALLY CHECK GENERATOR WIRING AND
LISTEN FOR ABNORMAL NOISES
(a) Check that the wiring is in good condition.
(b) Check that there is no abnormal noise from the generator
while the engine is running.
5. INSPECT CHARGE WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT
(a) Warm up the engine and then turn it off.
(b) Turn off all accessories.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ºONº. Check that the charge warn-
ing light is lit.
(d) Start the engine. Check that the light goes off.
If the light does not go off as specified, troubleshoot the charge
light circuit.
6. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITHOUT LOAD
HINT:
If a battery/generator tester is available, connect the tester to
the charging circuit as per manufacturer's instructions.
(a) If a tester is not available, connect a voltmeter and amme-
ter to the charging circuit as follows:
Disconnect the wire from terminal B of the generator
and connect it to the negative (-) tester probe of the
ammeter.

Terminal F CH-4
- CHARGINGCHARGING SYSTEM
1996 TERCEL (RM440U)
Connect the positive (+) tester probe of the amme-
ter to terminal B of the generator.
Connect the positive (+) tester probe of the voltme-
ter to terminal B of the generator.
Ground the negative (-) tester probe of the voltme-
ter.
(b) Check the charging circuit as follows:
With the engine running from idling to 2,000 rpm, check
the reading on the ammeter and voltmeter.
Standard amperage: 10 A or less
Standard voltage:
at 25°C (77°F)13.9 - 15.1 V
at 115°C (239°F)13.5 - 14.3 V
If the voltmeter reading is greater than standard voltage, re-
place the voltage regulator.
If the voltmeter reading is less than standard voltage, check the
voltage regulator and generator as follows:
With terminal F grounded, start the engine and
check the voltmeter reading of terminal B.
If the voltmeter reading is greater than standard
voltage, replace the voltage regulator.
If the voltmeter reading is less than standard volt-
age, check the generator.
7. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITH LOAD
(a) With the engine running at 2,000 rpm, turn on the high
beam headlights and place the heater blower switch at
ºHIº.
(b) Check the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage: 30 A or more
If the ammeter reading is less than the standard amperage, re-
pair the generator.
HINT:
If the battery is fully charged, the indication will sometimes be
less than standard amperage.

INSPECTION
1. C151:
INSPECT 5TH GEAR SYNCHRONIZER RING
(a) Check for wear or damage.
(b) Check the braking effect of the synchronizer ring. Turn the
synchronizer ring in one direction while pushing it to the
gear cone. Check that the ring locks.
If the braking effect is insufficient, apply a small amount of fine
lapping compound between the synchronizer ring and gear
cone.
(c) Lightly rub the synchronizer ring and gear cone together.
NOTICE:
Ensure the fine lapping compound is completely washed
off after rubbing.
(d) Check again the braking effect of the synchronizer ring.
(e) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between
the synchronizer ring back and gear spline end.
Minimum clearance: 0.6 mm (0.024 in.)
If the clearance is less than the minimum, replace the synchro-
nizer ring, and apply a small amount of the fine lapping com-
pound on gear cone.
NOTICE:
Ensure the fine lapping compound is completely washed
off after rubbing.
2. C151:
INSPECT SHIFT FORK AND HUB SLEEVE CLEAR-
ANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the hub
sleeve and shift fork.
Maximum clearance: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
If the clearance exceeds the maximum, replace the shift fork or
hub sleeve.
3. REMOVE TRANSAXLE CASE RECEIVER
Remove the bolt and transaxle case receiver.
4. IF NECESSARY, REPLACE INPUT SHAFT FRONT
BEARING AND OIL SEAL
(a) Using SST, remove the bearing.
