2004 STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS
Generators & Regulators - Endeavor
DESCRIPTION The charging system charges the battery with the generator output to keep the
battery charged at a constant level during varying electrical load. OPERATION Rotation of the excited field coil generates AC voltage in the stator. This alternating
current is rectified through diodes to DC voltage having a waveform. The average
output voltage fluctuates slightly with the generator load condition.
When the ignition switch is turned on, current flows in the field coil and initial
excitation of the field coil occurs. When the stator coil begins to generate power
after the engine is started, the field coil is excited by the output current of the stator
coil. The generator output voltage rises as the field current increases and it falls as
the field current decreases. When the battery positive voltage (generator S terminal
voltage) reaches a regulated voltage of approximately 14.4V, the field current is cut
off. When the battery positive voltage drops below the regulated voltage, the
voltage regulator regulates the output voltage to a constant level by controlling the
field current. In addition, when the field current is constant, the generator output
volta
ge rises as the en
gine s
peed increases. See Fig. 1
or Fig. 2
.
NOTE: See appropriate SELF DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE
PERFORMANCE to properly diagnose charging system.

Engine Lubrication - Endeavor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The lubrication method is a fully force-fed, full-flow filtration type
LUBRICATION SPECIFICATION ENGINE OILS RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS The most effective precaution is to adapt working practices which prevent, as far as
practical, the risk of skin contact with mineral oils i.e. use enclosed systems for
handling used engine oil and decrease components, where practical, before handling
them. OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oil, particularly used engine oil. Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practical. Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly under wear, with oil. Do not put oily rags in pockets. Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and oi
l-soaked foo
t-wear. Overalls must be

WARNING:Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will
result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In
addition, used engine oil contains potentially
harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
Adequate means of skin protection and washing
facilities must be provided.

cleaned regularly and kept separate from personal clothing. Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn i.e.
chemical goggles or face shields. In addition, an eye wash facility should be
provided. Obtain First Aid treatment immediately for open cuts and wounds. Wash regularly with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed, especially
before meals (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help). After cleaning, apply
lotion, etc., containing lanolin to replace natural skin oils is advised. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinner or solvents for
cleaning skin. Apply barrier creams before each work period to help clean the skin after
work. If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice immediately.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE ENGINE OIL CHECK 1. Pull out the oil dipstick slowly and check that the oil level is within the marks
on the oil dipstick.
2. Check that the oil is not excessively dirty, that there is no coolant or gasoline
mixed in, and that it is sufficientl
y thick and sli
ppery.

ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT 1. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until the temperature of the coolant
reaches 80 - 90°C (176 - 194°F).
2. Remove the engine oil filler cap.
3. Remove the drain plug to drain oil.
4. Install a new drain plug gasket so that it faces in the direction shown in the
illustration, and then tighten the drain plug to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 39 +/- 5 N.m (29 +/- 3 ft-lb)
WARNING:Use care as oil could be hot.
