then retrieve DTCs. If DTC 94 is retrieved, go to step 1 . If DTC 94 is not
retrieved, system is normal at this time. Intermittent condition may exist.
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS (DUAL-STAGE AIR BAG SYSTEM) INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1 Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). See INITIAL SRS DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
under DIAGNOSTICS. Turn ignition on. If scan
tool is able to diagnose CAN bus lines and CAN bus lines are satisfactory, inspect
and repair power circuits. Go to INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2
. If scan tool
cannot diagnose CAN bus lines, inspect and repair CAN bus lines.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2 1. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). See INITIAL SRS
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
under DIAGNOSTICS. Disconnect SRS ECU
connector C-26. See SRS ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (SRS ECU)
under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. See Fig. 30
. Measure resistance
between ground and connector C-26, terminal No. 40 (Black wire). If
resistance is 2 ohms or less, go to next step. If resistance is more than 2 ohms,
repair wiring harness between SRS ECU and ground. See WIRE REPAIR
.
2. Inspect Black/White wire and Black/Yellow wire between connector C-26 and
ignition switch connector C-308, including junction block connectors C-211
and C-215. See Fig. 22
. If wires are okay, go to next step. If wires are not
okay, replace wire harness.
3. Inspect battery. If battery is in good condition, go to next step. If battery is not
in good condition, charge or replace battery as appropriate. Go to step 5 .
4. Inspect charging system. If charging system is okay, go to next step. If
charging system is not okay, repair charging system as appropriate. Go to next
step.
5. Retest SRS system. If scan tool can communicate with SRS ECU, an
intermittent condition may have existed. If scan tool cannot communicate with
NOTE: If scan tool cannot communicate with SRS ECU, CAN bus
line may be defective.

2. Remove the battery from the vehicle.
3. Inspect battery carrier for damage caused by loss of acid from the battery. If
acid damage is present, it is necessary to clean area with a solution of clean
warm water and baking soda. Scrub area with a stiff bristle brush. Wipe clean
with a cloth moistened with ammonia or baking soda in water.
4. Clean the battery, especially the top with same solutions as described in step 3.
5. Inspect the battery case and cover for cracks. If cracks are present, battery must
be replaced.
6. Clean the battery post with a suitable battery post cleaning tool.
7. Clean the inside surfaces of the terminal clamps with a suitable battery
terminal cleaning tool. Replace damaged or frayed cables and broken terminal
clamps.
8. Install the battery in the vehicle.
9. Connect the positive and negative cables to the battery in the order of mention.
10. Tighten the clamp nut securely. BATTERY CHARGING Battery electrolyte temperature may temporarily be allowed to rise to 55°C (131°F).
Increase of electrolyte temperature above 55°C (131°F) is harmful to the battery,
causing deformation of battery cell, decrease in life of battery, etc.
case is cracked or leaking to protect hands from
the electrolyte. A suitable pair of rubber gloves
(not the household type) should be worn when
removing battery by hand.
WARNING:When batteries are being charged, an explosive gas
forms beneath the cover of each cell. Do not smoke
near batteries on charge or which have recently
been charged. Do not break live circuits at the
terminals of the batteries on charge. A spark will
occur where the live circuit is broken. Keep all open
flames away from the battery.

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.
