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. INSPECT ROTOR
(a) Check the rotor for open circuit.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity be-
tween the slip rings.
Type A:2.2 - 2.4 W at 20°C (68°F)
Type B:2.8 - 3.0 W at 20°C (68°F)
If there is no continuity, replace the rotor.
(b) Check the rotor for ground.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity be-
tween the slip ring and rotor.
If there is continuity, replace the rotor.
(c) Check that the slip rings are not rough or scored.
If rough or scored, replace the rotor.
(d) Using vernier calipers, measure the slip ring diameter.
Standard diameter: 14.2 - 14.4 mm (0.559 - 0.567 in.)
Minimum diameter: 12.8 mm (0.504 in.)
If the diameter is less than minimum, replace the rotor.
2. INSPECT STATOR (DRIVE END FRAME)
(a) Check the stator for open circuit.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity be-
tween the coil leads.
If there is no continuity, replace the drive end frame assembly.
(b) Check the stator for ground.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity be-
tween the coil lead and drive end frame.
If there is continuity, replace the drive end frame assembly.
