PRECAUTION

Check that the battery cables are connected to the correct terminals.

Disconnect the battery cables when the battery is given a quick charge.

Do not perform tests with a high voltage insulation resistance tester.

Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running.

(b) Using a belt tension gauge, check the drive belt tension.
Belt tension gauge:
DENSO BTG-20 (95506-00020)
Borroughs No. BT-33-73F
Drive belt tension:
New belt
Used belt160 ± 20 lbf
100 ± 20 lbf
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.

P13734
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.

143.0 - 151.0 mm (5.629 - 5.944 in.)
2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL HEIGHT
Loosen the lock nut and turn the stopper bolt until the height is
correct. Tighten the lock nut.
3. CHECK PEDAL FREEPLAY AND PUSH ROD PLAY
Push in on the pedal until the beginning of clutch resistance is
felt.
Pedal freeplay: 5.0 - 15.0 mm (0.196 - 0.591 in.)
Gently push on the pedal until the resistance begins to in-
crease.
Push rod play at pedal top:
1.0-5.0 mm (0.039-0.196 in.)
4. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL FREEPLAY AND
PUSH ROD PLAY
(a) Loosen the lock nut and turn the push rod until the free-
play and push rod play are correct.
(b) Tighten the lock nut.
(c) After adjusting the pedal freeplay, check the pedal height.
(d) Connect the air duct and install the lower finish panel.
5. CHECK CLUTCH RELEASE POINT
(a) Pull the parking brake lever and install wheel stopper.
(b) Start and idle the engine.
(c) Without depressing the clutch pedal, slowly shift the shift
lever into reverse position until the gears contact.
(d) Gradually depress the clutch pedal and measure the
stroke distance from the point that the gear noise stops
(release point) up to the full stroke end position.
Standard distance:
25 mm (0.98 in.) or more
(From pedal stroke end position to release point)
If the distance is not as specified, perform the following opera-
tions.

Inspect pedal height.

Inspect push rod play and pedal freeplay.

Bleed the clutch line.

Inspect the clutch cover and disc.

INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL CLUTCH DISC AND CLUTCH COVER ON
FLYWHEEL
(a) Insert SST in the clutch disc, and then set them.
SST 09301-00210
(b) Align the matchmark on the clutch cover and flywheel.
(c) Torque the bolts on the clutch cover in the order shown.
Torque: 19 N´m (195 kgf´cm, 14 ft´lbf)
HINT:
Temporarily tighten the No.1 and No.2 bolts.
2. CHECK DIAPHRAGM SPRING TIP ALIGNMENT
Using a dial indicator with roller instrument, check the dia-
phragm spring tip alignment.
Maximum non-alignment: 0.5 mm (0.020 in.)
If alignment is not as specified, using SST, adjust the dia-
phragm spring tip alignment.
SST 09333-00013
3. APPLY MOLYBDENUM DISULPHIDE LITHIUM BASE
GREASE (NLGI NO.2)
(a) Apply release hub grease to these parts:

Release fork and hub contact point

Release fork and push rod contact point

Release fork pivot point
(b) Apply clutch spline grease.
Clutch disc spline
HINT:
Recommended grease part number 08887-01706 (100 g).
4. INSTALL RELEASE BEARING AND FORK TO TRANS-
AXLE
Install the bearing to the release fork, and then install them to
the transaxle.
5. INSTALL TRANSAXLE TO ENGINE
(See page MX-6)

AX0RI-02
(b) Check the idle speed.
(e) Check the shift linkage. (d) Check the throttle cable mark.
(f) Check the park/neutral position switch.
Check the engine and the torque converter clutch. (c) Check the fluid level and fluid condition.
STALL TEST
TIME LAG TEST PRELIMINARY CHECK
ROAD TEST HYDRAULIC TEST
MATRIX CHART (a) Check the tire inflation.
Measure the line pressure and make a basic check of fluid circuit.
Check if trouble lies within automatic transaxle. If noise or vibration occurs, the possible cause could
be with the compressor, engine, drive shaft and tires, etc. Check the automatic transaxle (each clutch, brake and gear) for wear.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
(a) Troubles occurring with the automatic transaxle can be caused by either the engine or the transaxle
itself. These two areas should be checked before proceeding with troubleshooting.
(b) Troubleshooting should begin with the simplest operation, working up in order of difficulty, but first de-
termine whether the trouble lies within the engine or transaxle.
(c) Proceed with the inspection as follows:
