2. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 
position.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
4. Connect a clamp-type DC test ammeter with a 
range of 0 − 120 A to the alternator "B" terminal 
output wire.
NOTE: The way of disconnecting the alternator 
output wire and of connecting the ammeter is 
possibly not found the problem that the output 
current is dropping due to the insufficient 
connection between terminal "B" and the output 
wire.
5. Connect a digital-type voltmeter between the 
alternator "B" terminal and the battery (+) 
terminal. [Connect the (+) lead of the voltmeter to 
the "B" terminal and the connect the (-) lead of the 
voltmeter to the battery (+) cable].
6. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
7. Connect a tachometer or the MUT-II/III (Refer to 
GROUP 11A − On-vehicle Service − Idle speed 
check <4G1> P.11A-11 or GROUP 11C − 
On-vehicle Service − Idle speed check <4G6> 
P.11C-11).
8. Leave the hood open.
9. Start the engine.
10.With the engine running at 2,500 r/min, turn the 
headlamps and other lamps on and off to adjust 
the alternator load so that the value displayed on 
the ammeter is slightly above 30 A.Adjust the engine speed by gradually decreasing 
it until the value displayed on the ammeter is 30 
A. Take a reading of the value displayed on the 
voltmeter at this time.
Limit: maximum 0.3 V
NOTE: When the alternator output is high and the 
value displayed on the ammeter does not 
decrease until 30 A, set the value to 40 A. Read 
the value displayed on the voltmeter at this time. 
When the value range is 40 A, the limit is 
maximum 0.4 V.
11.If the value displayed on the voltmeter is above 
the limit value, there is probably a malfunction in 
the alternator output wire, so check the wiring 
between the alternator "B" terminal and the 
battery (+) terminal (including fusible link).
If a terminal is not sufficiently tight or if the 
harness has become discolored due to 
overheating, repair and then test again.
12.After the test, run the engine at idle.
13.Turn off all lamps and the ignition switch.
14.Remove the tachometer or the MUT-II/III.
15.Disconnect the negative battery cable.
16.Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
17.Connect the negative battery cable.

7. Connect a tachometer or the MUT-II/III (Refer to 
GROUP 11A − On-vehicle Service − Idle speed 
check <4G1> P.11A-11 or GROUP 11C − 
On-vehicle Service − Idle speed check <4G6> 
P.11C-11).
8. Leave the hood open.
9. Check that the reading on the voltmeter is equal 
to the battery voltage.
NOTE: If the voltage is 0 V, the cause is probably 
an open circuit in the wire or fusible link between 
the alternator "B" terminal and the battery (+) 
terminal.
10.Turn the light switch on to turn on headlamps and 
then start the engine.
11.Immediately after setting the headlamps to high 
beam and turning the heater blower switch to the 
high revolution position, increase the engine 
speed to 2,500 r/min and read the maximum 
current output value displayed on the ammeter.
Limit: 70 % of normal current outputNOTE: .
•For the nominal current output, refer to the 
Alternator Specifications.
•Because the current from the battery will soon 
drop after the engine is started, the above step 
should be carried out as quickly as possible in 
order to obtain the maximum current output 
value.
•The current output value will depend on the 
electrical load and the temperature of the 
alternator body.
•If the electrical load is small while testing, the 
specified level of current may not be output 
even though the alternator is normal. In such 
cases, increase the electrical load by leaving 
the headlamps turned on for some time to 
discharge the battery or by using the lighting 
system in another vehicle, and then test again.
•The specified level of current also may not be 
output if the temperature of the alternator body 
or the ambient temperature is too high. In such 
cases, cool the alternator and then test again.
12.The reading on the ammeter should be above the 
limit value. If the reading is below the limit value 
and the alternator output wire is normal, remove 
the alternator from the engine and check the 
alternator.
13.Run the engine at idle after the test.
14.Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 
position.
15.Remove the tachometer or the MUT-II/III.
16.Disconnect the negative battery cable.
17.Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
18.Connect the negative battery cable.

EXAMPLE OF ABNORMAL WAVEFORMS
NOTE: .
1. The size of the waveform patterns differs largely, depending on the adjustment of the variable knob on the 
oscilloscope.
2. Identification of abnormal waveforms is easier when there is a large output current (regulator is not 
operating). (Waveforms can be observed when the headlamps are illuminated.)
3. Check the conditions of the charging warning lamp (illuminated/not illuminated). Also, check the charging 
system totally.

ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL17-13
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION 
(EGR) SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION (EGR SYSTEM)M1173005200327
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system lowers 
the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission level.
When the air/fuel mixture combustion temperature is 
high, a large quantity of nitrogen oxides (NOx) is 
generated in the combustion chamber.
Therefore, this system recirculates part of emission 
gas from the exhaust port of the cylinder head to the 
combustion chamber through the intake manifold to 
decrease the air/fuel mixture combustion 
temperature, resulting in reduction of NOx.The EGR flow rate is controlled by the EGR valve so 
as not to decrease the driveability.
OPERATION
The EGR valve is being closed and does not 
recirculate exhaust gases under one of the following 
conditions.
Otherwise, the EGR valve is opened and recirculates 
exhaust gases.
•The engine coolant temperature is low.
•The engine is at idle.
•The throttle valve is widely opened.

CAUTION
•Before removing the steering wheel and air bag module assembly, always refer to GROUP 52B - 
Service Precautions P.52B-5, Air bag Module and Clock Spring P.52B-210. Also, set the front 
wheels so that they are facing straight forward, and remove the ignition key. If you fail to do this, 
the SRS clock spring will be damaged, causing the SRS air bag to be inoperative and serious 
injury.
