GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
BATTERY
The sealed battery is standard on all cars. There are no
vent plugs in the cover. The battery is completely sealed,
except for two small vent holes in the sides. These vent
holes allow the small amount of gas produced in the bat-
tery to escape. The battery has the following advantages
over conventional batteries:
S No water addition for the life of the battery.
S Overcharge protection. If too much voltage is ap-
plied to the battery, it will not accept as much cur-
rent as a conventional battery. In a conventional
battery, the excess voltage will still try to charge the
battery, leading to gassing, which causes liquid
loss.
S Not as liable to self–discharge as compared to a
conventional battery. This is particularly important
when a battery is left standing for long periods of
time.
S More power available in a lighter and smaller case.
The battery has three major functions in the electrical sys-
tem. First, the battery provides a source of energy for
cranking the engine. Second, the battery acts as a voltage
stabilizer for the electrical system. Finally, the battery can,
for a limited time, provide energy when the electrical de-
mand exceeds the output of the generator.
RATINGS
A battery has two ratings: (1) a reserve capacity rating
designated at 27°C (80°F), which is the time a fully
charged battery will provide 25 amperes current flow at or
above 10.5 volts; (2) a cold cranking amp rating deter-
mined under testing at –18°C (0°F), which indicates the
cranking load capacity.
RESERVE CAPACITY
The reserve capacity is the maximum length of time it is
possible to travel at night with the minimum electrical load
and no generator output. Expressed in minutes, Reserve
Capacity (or RC rating) is the time required for a fully
charged battery, at a temperature of 27°C (80°F) and be-
ing discharged at a current of 25 amperes, to reach a ter-
minal voltage of 10.5 volts.
COLD CRANKING AMPERAGE
The cold cranking amperage test is expressed at a battery
temperature of –18°C (0°F). The current rating is the mini-
mum amperage, which must be maintained by the battery
for 30 seconds at the specified temperature, while meeting
a minimum voltage requirement of 7.2 volts. This rating is
a measure of cold cranking capacity.The battery is not designed to last indefinitely. However,
with proper care, the battery will provide many years of
service.
If the battery tests well, but fails to perform satisfactorily
in service for no apparent reason, the following factors
may point to the cause of the trouble:
S Vehicle accessories are left on overnight.
S Slow average driving speeds are used for short pe-
riods.
S The vehicle’s electrical load is more than the gener-
ator output, particularly with the addition of after-
market equipment.
S Defects in the charging system, such as electrical
shorts, a slipping generator belt, a faulty generator,
or a faulty voltage regulator.
S Battery abuse, including failure to keep the battery
cable terminals clean and tight, or a loose battery
hold–down clamp.
S Mechanical problems in the electrical system, such
as shorted or pinched wires.
BUILT – IN HYDROMETER
The sealed battery has a built–in, temperature–compen-
sated hydrometer in the top of the battery. This hydrome-
ter is to be used with the following diagnostic procedure:
1. When observing the hydrometer, make sure that
the battery has a clean top.
2. Under normal operation, two indications can be ob-
served:
S GREEN DOT VISIBLE – Any green appearance
is interpreted as a ”green dot,” meaning the bat-
tery is ready for testing.
S DARK GREEN DOT IS NOT VISIBLE – If there
is a cranking complaint, the battery should be
tested. The charging and electrical systems
should also be checked at this time.
3. Occasionally, a third condition may appear:
S CLEAR OR BRIGHT YELLOW – This means
the fluid level is below the bottom of the hydrom-
eter. This may have been caused by excessive
or prolonged charging, a broken case, excessive
tipping, or normal battery wear. Finding a battery
in this condition may indicate high charging by a
faulty charging system. Therefore, the charging
and the electrical systems may need to be
checked if a cranking complaint exists. If the
cranking complaint is caused by the battery, re-
place the battery.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
1. Batteries with the green dot showing do not require
charging unless they have just been discharged
(such as in cranking a vehicle).
2. When charging sealed–terminal batteries out of the
vehicle, install the adapter kit. Make sure all the
charger connections are clean and tight. For best
results, batteries should be charged while the elec-

Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostic
table.
1. The On–Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System Check
prompts the technician to complete some basic
checks and store the freeze frame and failure re-
cords data on the scan tool if applicable. This
creates an electronic copy of the data taken when
the occurred. The information is then stored on the
scan tool for later reference.
2. By performing a compression test, it can be deter-
mined if the engine has the mechanical ability to
run.
3. It is important to check for the presence of sparkfrom all of the ignition wires. If spark is present from
one to three of the ignition coil terminals, the Crank-
shaft Position (CKP) sensor is OK.
19. In checking the engine control module (ECM) out-
puts for the electronic spark timing signal, it recom-
mended to use an oscilloscope to view the varying
voltage signals. In measuring these outputs with a
voltmeter, intermittent errors may occur that cannot
be seen by a voltmeter.
35. This step checks for proper operation of the ECM’s
control of the fuel pump circuit.
59. This step checks for a ground signal being supplied
by the ECM to operate the fuel injectors. If there is
no ground present during the cranking of the en-
gine, and the fuel injector wiring is OK, the ECM is
at fault.
