Checking Drive BeltsNBMA0010
SMA091D
1. Inspect belt for cracks, fraying, wear and oil. If necessary,
replace.
2. Inspect drive belt deflection or tension at a point on the belt
midway between pulleys.
3. Check belt tension using belt tension gauge (BT3373-F or
equivalent).
Inspect drive belt deflection or tension when engine is cold.
Adjust if belt deflections exceed the limit or if belt tension is
not within specifications.

Trouble Diagnoses with
Battery/Starting/Charging System Tester
NBSC0018CAUTION:
When working with batteries, always wear appropriate eye
protection.
NOTE:
ITo ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery,
starter and alternator test segments must be done as a set
from start to finish.
IIf battery surface charge is detected while testing, the tester
will prompt you to turn on the headlights to remove the surface
charge.
IIf necessary, the tester will prompt you to determine if the bat-
tery temperature is above or below 0ÉC (32ÉF). Choose the
appropriate selection by pressing the up or down arrow button,
then press ªENTERº to make the selection.
SEL404X
1. Turn off all loads on the vehicle electrical system. Clean or
repair as necessary.
2. Visually inspect the battery, battery terminals and cable ends
with ignition switch in ªOFFº position.
NOTE:
The contact surface between the battery terminals, cable ends and
tester leads must be clean for a valid test. A poor connection will
prevent testing and a ªCHECK CONNECTIONº message will
appear during the test procedures. If this occurs, clean the battery
post and terminals, reconnect them and restart the test.
3. Connect the red tester lead clamp to the positive battery
terminal, and the black to the negative terminal.
SEL405X
4. The tester will turn on automatically. Using the arrow keys,
select ªIN VEHICLEº on the tester and then press the ªENTERº
key.

NOTE:
IIf the starter performs normally but the engine does not start,
perform engine diagnosis.
IFor intermittent ªNO CRANKº or ªNO STARTER OPERATIONº
incidents, go to DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 2.
STARTING SYSTEM
Trouble Diagnoses with Battery/Starting/Charging System Tester
SC-12

System DescriptionNBSC0009The alternator provides DC voltage to operate the vehicle's electrical system and to keep the battery charged.
The voltage output is controlled by the IC regulator.
Power is supplied at all times to alternator terminal S through:
I120A fusible link (lettera, located in the fuse and fusible link box), and
I7.5A fuse (No. 65, located in the fuse and fusible link box).
Terminal B supplies power to charge the battery and operate the vehicle's electrical system. Output voltage
is controlled by the IC regulator at terminal S detecting the input voltage. The charging circuit is protected by
the 120A fusible link.
Terminal E of the alternator supplies ground through body ground E101.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
Ithrough 10A fuse [No. 8, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
Ito combination meter terminal 12 for the charge warning lamp.
Ground is supplied to terminal 43 of the combination meter through terminal L of the alternator. With power
and ground supplied, the charge warning lamp will illuminate. When the alternator is providing sufficient volt-
age with the engine running, the ground is opened and the charge warning lamp will go off.
If the charge warning lamp illuminates with the engine running, a fault is indicated.GI

1. Turn off all loads on the vehicle electrical system.
2. Perform battery and starting system test with Battery/Starting/
Charging system tester.
3. Press ªENTERº to begin the charging system test.
4. Start engine.
SEL418X
5. Press ªENTERº until ªLOADS OFF REV ENGINE 5 SECº is
displayed.
6. Raise and hold the engine speed at 1,500 to 2,000 rpm for
about 5 seconds, then return to the engine to idle.
Once the increase in engine rpm is detected, press ªENTERº
to continue.
NOTE:
IIf after 30 seconds an increase in engine idle speed is not
detected, ªRPM NOT DETECTEDº will display.
ISome engines may have a higher idle initially after starting,
particularly when the engine is cold. The tester may detect this
without any other action being taken. If this occurs, continue on
with the testing process. The final results will not be affected.

7. The tester now checks the engine at idle and performs the
DIODE/RIPPLE check.
8. When complete, the tester will prompt you to turn on the fol-
lowing electrical loads.
