ENGINE ELECTRICAL ± Charging System16-6
This test determines whether the alternator output
current is normal.
(1) Before the test, always be sure to check the
following.

Alternator installation

Battery (Refer to GROUP 54 ± Battery.)
NOTE
The battery should be slightly discharged.
The load needed by a fully-charged battery
is insufficient for an accurate test.

Alternator drive belt tension (Refer to
GROUP 11 ± On-vehicle Service.)

Fusible link

Abnormal noise from the alternator while
the engine is running.
(2) Turn the ignition switch off.
(3) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(4) Disconnect the alternator output wire from the
alternator ªBº terminal. Connect a DC test
ammeter with a range of 0 ± 100 A in series
between the ªBº terminal and the disconnected
output wire. (Connect the (+) lead of the
ammeter to the ªBº terminal. Connect the (±)
lead of the ammeter to the disconnected output
wire.)
Caution
Never use clips but tighten bolts and nuts
to connect the line. Otherwise loose
connections (e.g. using clips) will lead to
a serious accident because of high current.
NOTE
An inductive-type ammeter which enables
measurements to be taken without
disconnecting the alternator output wire should
be recommended.
(5) Connect a voltmeter with a range of 0 ± 20 V
between the alternator ªBº terminal and the
earth. (Connect the (+) lead of the voltmeter
to the ªBº terminal, and then connect the (±)
lead of the voltmeter to the earth.)
(6) Connect the negative battery cable.
(7) Connect a tachometer. (Refer to GROUP 11
± On-vehicle Service.)
(8) Leave the hood open.
(9) Check that the reading on the voltmeter is equal
to the battery voltage.
NOTE
If the voltage is 0 V, the cause is probably
an open circuit in the wire or fusible link between
the alternator ªBº terminal and the battery (+)
terminal.(10)Turn the light switch on to turn on headlamps
and then start the engine.
(11) Immediately after setting the headlamps to high
beam and turning the heater blower switch to
the high revolution position, increase the engine
speed to 2,500 r/min and read the maximum
current output value displayed on the ammeter.
Limit: 70% of normal current output
NOTE

For the nominal current output, refer to the
Alternator Specifications.

Because the current from the battery will
soon drop after the engine is started, the
above step should be carried out as quickly
as possible in order to obtain the maximum
current output value.

The current output value will depend on
the electrical load and the temperature of
the alternator body.

If the electrical load is small while testing,
the specified level of current may not be
output even though the alternator is normal.
In such cases, increase the electrical load
by leaving the headlamps turned on for
some time to discharge the battery or by
using the lighting system in another vehicle,
and then test again.

The specified level of current also may not
be output if the temperature of the alternator
body or the ambient temperature is too
high. In such cases, cool the alternator and
then test again.
(12)The reading on the ammeter should be above
the limit value. If the reading is below the limit
value and the alternator output wire is normal,
remove the alternator from the engine and
check the alternator.
(13)Run the engine at idle after the test.
(14)Turn the ignition switch off.
(15)Remove the tachometer.
(16)Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(17)Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
(18)Connect the alternator output wire to the
alternator ªBº terminal.
(19)Connect the negative battery cable.

ENGINE ELECTRICAL ± Charging System16-8
(14)If the voltage reading conforms to the value
in the voltage regulation, then the voltage
regulator is operating normally.
If the voltage is not within the standard value,
there is a malfunction of the voltage regulator
or of the alternator.
(15)After the test, lower the engine speed to the
idle speed.
(16)Turn the ignition switch off.(17)Remove the tachometer.
(18)Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(19)Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
(20)Connect the alternator output wire to the
alternator ªBº terminal.
(21)Remove the special tool, and return the
connector to the original condition.
(22)Connect the negative battery cable.

A-3 Mixed with noise, only at night (AM).
The following factors can be considered as possible
causes of noise appearing at night.
1. Factors due to signal conditions: Due to the
fact that long-distance signals are more easily
received at night, even stations that are
received without problem during the day may
experience interference in a general worsening
of reception conditions. The weaker a station
is the more susceptible it is to interference,and a change to a different station or the
appearance of a beating sound* may occur.
Beat sound*: Two signals close in frequency
interfere with each other, creating a repetitious
high-pitched sound. This sound is generated
not only by sound signals but by electrical
waves as well.
2. Factors due to vehicle noise: Alternator noise
may be a cause.
Is the noise still obvious even with the
lamps OFF?No
Ye s
Do the following measures eliminate the
noise?

Tune to a station with a strong signal.

Tune to a station with a strong signal
without completely extending the
antenna.Ye sOK
No
Does the noise fade away when the
vehicle harness is moved away from
the radio chassis? (if the harness is not
in the proper position.)Ye sOK
No
If there is more noise than other radios, consult a service
centre.
