BATTERY INSPECTIONA6E471018520202MZR-CD (RF Turbo)
Battery
1. Inspect the battery with the following procedure.
Load test chart
Battery positive voltage with load
Back-up Current
1. Verify that the engine switch is off and that the engine key has been removed.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Caution
•Operating electrical loads while measuring the back-up current can damage the circuit tester.
3. Measure the back-up current between the negative battery terminal and the negative battery cable.
(1) If the current exceeds the maximum, remove the fuses in the main fuse block and the fuse block one by
one while measuring the back-up current.
(2) Inspect and repair harnesses and connectors on the fuse where the current has been reduced.
Back-up current
20 mA max.

BATTERY RECHARGINGA6E471018520203MZR-CD (RF Turbo)
Caution
•To avoid damage to the battery, do not quick charge for over 30 min.
•When disconnecting the battery, remove the negative cable first and install it last to prevent
damage to electrical components or the battery.
•To avoid deformation or damage to the battery, remove the battery plugs while charging the
battery.

GENERATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATIONA6E471018300202MZR-CD (RF Turbo)
Warning
•When the battery cables are connected, touching the vehicle body with generator terminal B will
generate sparks. This can cause personal injury, fire, and damage to the electrical components.
Always disconnect the battery before performing the following operation.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the radiator.
3. Remove the drive belt. (See B2–4 DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT.)
4. Remove in the order indicated in the table.
5. Install in the reverse order of removal.

1. Verify that the battery is fully charged.
•Charge if necessary. (See G–6 BATTERY RECHARGING.)
2. Verify that the drive belt deflection/tension is correct. (See B2–4 DRIVE BELT INSPECTION.)
•Replace if necessary. (See B2–4 DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT.)
3. Turn the engine switch ON position and verify that the generator warning light turns on.
•If not, inspect the generator warning light, and the wiring harnesses between the battery, generator warning
light, and generator terminal L.
4. Verify that the generator warning light goes out after the engine is started.
•If not, inspect the generator.
