After installing a new belt, run the engine for about 5 min-
utes and recheck the belt tension.
6. 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.
7. CHECK DISCHARGE 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 discharge
warning light is lit.
(d) Start the engine. Check that the light goes off.
If the light does not go off as specified, troubleshoot the dis-
charge light circuit.
8. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITHOUT LOAD
HINT:
If a battery/generator tester is available, connect the tester to
the charging circuit as per the 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 genera-
tor, and connect it to the negative (-) probe of the
ammeter.
Connect the positive (+) probe of the ammeter to
terminal B of the generator.
Connect the positive (+) probe of the voltmeter to
terminal B of the generator.
Ground the negative (-) probe of the voltmeter.
(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: 13.2 -14.8 V

If the voltmeter reading is more than standard voltage, replace
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 more than standard volt-
age, replace the voltage regulator.
If the voltmeter reading is less than standard volt-
age, check the generator.
9. 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.

PRE-CHECK
1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a) Description
When troubleshooting OBD II vehicles, the only dif-
ference from the usual troubleshooting procedure
is that you connect to the vehicle an OBD II scan
tool complying with SAE J1987 or TOYOTA hand-
held tester, and read off various data output from
the vehicle's ECM.
OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's on-
board computer lights up the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel when the com-
puter detects a malfunction in the computer itself or
in drive system components which affect vehicle
emissions. In addition to the MIL lighting up when
a malfunction is detected, the applicable DTCs pre-
scribed by SAE J2012 are recorded in the ECM
memory (See page DI-14).
If the malfunction only occurs in 3-trip, the MIL goes
off but the DTCs remain recorded in the ECM
memory.
To check the DTCs, connect an OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand-held tester to DLC3 on the vehicle.
The OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester
also enables you to erase the DTCs and check
freeze frame data and various forms of engine data
(For instruction book).
DTCs include SAE controlled codes and Manufac-
turer controlled codes.
SAE controlled codes must be set as prescribed by
the SAE, while Manufacturer controlled codes can
be set freely by the manufacturer within the pre-
scribed limits (See DTC chart on page ).
