How to use the temperature-corrected state-of-charge
graph
Suppose your S.G. reading is 1.28 and the battery temperature is
–5 °C (23 °F). Locate the intersection of the –5 °C line and the
1.28 S.G. line.
The intersection is within the “A” zone (shaded area in the graph)
and that means CHARGED STATE.
To know how much the battery is charged, draw a line parallel to
the zone demarcation line and extend it to the right till it meets
with the percentage scale. In the present example, the line meets
at about 85% point on the percentage scale. Therefore, the bat-
tery is charged up to the 85% level.
Generator
Trouble in charging system will show up as one or more of follow-
ing conditions:
1) Faulty indicator lamp operation.
2) An undercharged battery as evidenced by slow cranking or
indicator dark.
3) An overcharged battery as evidenced by excessive spewing
of electrolyte from vents.
Noise from generator may be caused by a loose drive pulley,
loose mounting bolts, worn or dirty bearings, defective diode, or
defective stator.
FAULTY INDICATOR LAMP OPERATION
CAUTION:
Do not mistake polarities of IG terminal and L terminal.
Do not make a short circuit between IG and L termi-
nals. Always connect these terminals through a lamp.
Do not connect any load between L and E.
When connecting a charger or a booster battery to
vehicle battery, refer to this section describing battery
charging.

E: Ground
IG: Ignition terminal
L: Lamp terminal
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Charge light does not
light with ignition ON
and engine offFuse blown Check fuse.
Light burned out Replace light.
Wiring connection loose Tighten loose connection.
IC regulator or field coil faulty Check generator.
Charge light does not go
out with engine running
(battery requires fre-
quent recharging)Drive belt loose or worn Adjust or replace drive belt.
IC regulator or generator faulty Check charging system.
Wiring faulty Repair wiring.

2) Ground F terminal and start engine, then measure voltage at
B terminal as shown in left figure.
Voltage is higher than standard value
It is considered that generator itself is good but IC regulator
has been damaged, replace IC regulator.
Voltage is lower than standard value
Generator itself has problem, check the generator.
Load Check
1) Run engine at 2,000 rpm and turn on head light and heater
motor.
2) Measure current and if it is less than 20 A repair or replace
generator.
OVERCHARGED BATTERY
1) To determine battery condition, refer to Battery section.
2) If obvious overcharged condition exists as evidenced by
excessive spewing of electrolyte, measure generator B ter-
minal voltage at engine 2,000 rpm.
3) If measured voltage is higher than upper limit value, proceed
to disassembly section of generator service.
4) Check ground of brushes. If brushes are not grounded,
replace IC regulator. Then check field coil for grounds and
shorts, referring to “INSPECTION” section.
On-Vehicle Service
Battery
Jump starting in case of emergency
WITH AUXILIARY (BOOSTER) BATTERY
Both booster and discharged battery should be treated carefully
when using jumper cables. Follow procedure outlined below,
being careful not to cause sparks.
CAUTION:
If vehicle is manual transmission model and has a cata-
lytic converter, do not push or tow it to start. Damage to
its emission system and/or to other parts may result.

2) Using ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between
coil leads (2) and stator core. If there is continuity, replace
stator (1).
Brush and Brush Holder
Check each brush for wear by measuring its length.
If brush is found worn down to service limit, replace brush.
Brush length “a”
Standard : 16 mm (0.63 in.)
Service limit : 2 mm (0.08 in.)
Rectifier
1) Using ohmmeter, check continuity between each of upper
and lower rectifier bodies and each diode lead (2).
Check both directions by reversing probes of ohmmeter and
there should be only one-way continuity in each case.
If check result is not satisfactory, replace rectifier (1).
