5) CHARGING A COMPLETELY DISCHARGED BATTERY
(OFF THE VEHICLE)
Unless this procedure is properly followed, a perfectly good battery may be needlessly
replaced. The following procedure should be used to recharge a completely discharged battery:
Measure the voltage at the battery terminals with an accurate voltmeter. If the reading is
below 10 volts, the charge current will be very low, and it could take some time before the
battery accepts the current in excess of a few milliamperes. Refer to “Charging Time
Required” in this section, which focuses on the factors affecting both the charging
time required.
Such low current may not be detectable on ammeters available in the field. 1.
Set the battery charger on the high setting. 2.
Some chargers feature polarity protection circuitry, which prevents charger unless the charger
leads are correctly connected to the battery terminals. A completely discharged battery may
not have enough voltage to activate this circuitry, even though the leads are connected
properly, making it appear that the battery will not accept charging current.
Therefore, follow the specific charger manufacturer’s instruction for by passing or
overriding the circuitry so that the charger will turn on and charge a low-voltage battery.
Continue to charge the battery until the charge current is measurable. Battery chargers vary
in the amount of voltage and current provided. The time required for the battery to accept a
measurable charger current at various voltages may be as follows: 3.
If the charge current is not measurable at the end of the above charging times, the battery
should be replaced.
If the charge current is measurable during the charging time, the battery is good, and
charging should be completed in the normal manner. -
-
It is important to remember that a completely discharged battery must be recharged for a
sufficient number of ampere hours (AH) to restore the battery to a usable state.
If the charge current is still not measurable after using the charging time calculated by the
above method, the battery should be replaced. -

6) JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE
Position the vehicle with the charged battery so that the jumper cables will reach from the
charged battery to the battery that requires charging.
Turn off the ignition, all the lights, and all the electrical loads in both vehicles.
Leave the hazard flasher on if jump starting where there may be other traffic and any other
lights needed for the work area.
Apply the parking brake firmly in both vehicles. 1.

In order to avoid damaging the vehicle make sure the cables are not on or near pulleys, fans,
or
other parts that will move when the engine starts.
Shift an automatic transmission to PARK. 5.
In order to avoid injury, do not use cables that have loose or missing insulation.
Clamp one end of the first jumper cable to the positive terminal on the booster battery. Make
sure it does not touch any other metal parts.
Clamp the other end of the same cable to the positive terminal on the discharged battery.
Never connect the other end to the negative terminal of the discharged battery. 6.
7.
Do not attach the cable directly to the neg-ative terminal of the discharged battery. Doing so
could cause sparks and possible battery explosion.
Clamp one end of the second cable to the negative terminal of the booster battery.
Make the final connection to a solid engine ground, such as the engine lift bracket at least
450 millimeters (18 inches) from the discharged battery.
Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery.
Run the engine at a moderate speed for several minutes.
Then start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
Remove the jumper cables by reversing the above sequence exactly, removing the
negative cable from the vehicle with the discharged battery first. While removing each
clamp, take care that it does not touch any other metal while the other end remains
attached. 8.

7) ALTERNATOR
Alternators are equipped with internal regulators. Unlike three-wire alternators, the alternator
may be used with only two connections: battery positive and an “D+” terminal to the
charge indicator lamp.
As with other charging systems, the charge indicator lamp lights when the ignition switch is
turned to RUN, and goes out when the engine is running. If the charge idicator is on with the
engine running, a charging system defect is indicated. This indicator light will glow at full
brilliance for several kinds of defects as well as when the system voltage is too high or too low.
The regulator voltage setting varies with temperature and limits the system voltage by
controlling rotor field current. Achieve correct average field current for proper system voltage
control by varying the on-off time. At high speeds, the on-time may be 10 percent and the off-
time 90 percent. At low speeds, with high electrical loads, the on-time may be 90 percent and
the off-time 10 percent.

8) STARTER
Wound field starter motors have pole pieces, arranged around the armature, which are
energized by wound field coils.
Enclosed shift lever cranking motors have the shift lever mechanism and the solenoid plunge
r
enclosed in the drive housing, protecting them from exposure to dirt, icy conditions, and
splashes. In the basic circuit, solenoid windings are energized when the switch is closed. The
resulting plunger and shift lever movement causes the pinion to engage the engine flywheel
ring gear. The solenoid main contacts close. Cranking then takes place.
When the engine starts, pinion overrun protects the armature from excessive speed until the
switch is opened, at which time the return spring causes the pinion to disengage.
To prevent excessive overrun, the switch should be released immediately after the engine
starts.
9) STARTING SYSTEM
The engine electrical system includes the battery, the ignition, the starter, the alternator, and all
the related wiring.
Diagnostic tables will aid in troubleshooting system faults.
When a fault is traced to a particular component, refer to that component section of the service
manual.
The starting system circuit consists of the battery, the starter motor, the ignition switch, and all
the related electrical wiring. All of these components are connected electrically.

3) Fuel System Specification
Use Only Unleaded Fuel Rated at 89 Octane or Higher ▶
Fuel quality and additives contained in fuel have a significant effect on power output, drivability,
and life of theengine.
Fuel with too low an octane number can cause engine knock.
Use of fuel with an octane number lower than 89 may damage engine and exhaust
system.
To prevent accidental use of leaded fuel, the nozzles for leaded fuel are larger, and will
not fit the fuel filler neck of your vehicle. -
-
Do Not Use Methanol ▶
Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should not be used in vehicle.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and damage components of the fuel system.
Use of methanol may damage the fuel sys-tem. -
For safety reasons (particularly when using noncommercial fueling systems) fuel containers,
pumps and hoses must be properly earthed.
Static electricity build up can occur under certain atmospheric and fuel flow conditions i
f
unearthed hoses, particularly plastic, are fitted to the fuel-dispensing pump.
It is therefore recommended that earthed pumps with integrally earthed hoses be used, and
that storage containers be properly earthed during all noncommercial fueling operations.Vehicle Fueling from Drums or Storage Containers ▶
