2007 KIA CARNIVAL battery

6.The MICRO 570 will detect the amount of ripple from the charging system to the battery. Excessive ripple usually
means the stator is damaged or that one or more generator diodes have failed.
7.The MICRO 570 will prompt you to turn on accessary loads. It will then test at idle and prompt you to rev the
engine. The analyzer will determine if the charging system can provide enough current for the demands of the
vehicle's electrical system.
When asked to turn of the accessory loads, turn of the blower to high(heater), the high beam beadlights, and
rear defogger. DO NOT use cyclical loads such as air conditioning or wind- shield wipers.
8. After the test, the MICRO 570 will display the idle voltage, load voltage and the state results.

CHARGING SYSTEM TEST RESULTSRESULT ON PRINTER REMEDY
Charging system normal/Diode ripple normal Charging system is normal
No charging voltage Generator does not supply charging current to battery
=> Check belts, connection between generator and battery
Replace belts or cable or generator as necessary
Low charging voltage Generator does not supply charging current to battery and electrical
load to system fully
=> Check belts and generator and replace as necessary
High charging voltage The voltage from generator to battery is higher than normal limit
during voltage regulating.
=> Check connection and ground and replace regulator as necessary
=> Check electrolyte level in the
battery
Excess ripple detected One or more diodes in the generator is not functioning properly
=> Check generator mounting and belts and replace as necessary

DESCRIPTION
The charging system included a battery, an alternator with a built- in regulator, and the charging indicator light and
wire.
The Alternator has built- in diodes, each rectifying AC current to DC current.
Therefore, DC current appears at alternator "B" terminal.
In addition, the charging voltage of this alternator is regulated by the battery voltage detection system.
The alternator is regulated by the battery voltage detection system. The main components of the alternator are the
rotor, stator, rectifier, capacitor brushes, bearings and V- ribbed belt pulley. The brush holder contains a built- in
electronic voltage regulator.

ON-VEHICLE INPECTION
a.Check that the battery cables are connected to the correct terminals.
b. Disconnect the battery cables when the battery is given a quick charge.
c. Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running.
CHECK BATTERY VOLTAGE
1.If 20 minutes have not passed since the engine was stopped, turn the ignition switch ON and turn on the electrical
system (headlamp, blower motor, rear defogger etc.) for 60 seconds to remove the surface charge.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF and turn off the electrical systems.
3. Measure the battery voltage between the negative ( - ) and positive (+) terminals of the battery.
Standard voltage : 12.5 ~ 12.9V at 20°C(68°F)
If the voltage is less than specification, charge the battery.
CHECK THE BATTERY TERMINALS AND FUSES
1.Check that the battery terminals are not loose or corroded.
2. Check the fuses for continuity.
INSPECT DRIVE BELT
Visually check the belt for excessive wear, frayed cords etc.
If any defect has been found, replace the drive belt.
Cracks on the rib side of a belt are considered acceptable. If the belt has chunks missing from the ribs, it should
be replaced.
VISUALLY CHECK ALTERNATOR WIRING AND LISTEN FOR ABNORMAL NOISES
1.Check that the wiring is in good condition.
2. Check that there is no abnormal noise from the alternator while the engine is running.
CHECK DISCHARGE WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT
1.Warm up the engine and then turn it off.
2. Turn off all accessories.
3. Turn the ignition switch "ON". Check that the discharge warning light is lit.
4. Start the engine. Check that the light is lit.
If the light does not go off as specified, troubleshoot the discharge light circuit.
INSPECT CHARGING SYSTEM
VOLTAGE DROP TEST OF ALTERNATOR OUTPUT WIRE
This test determines whether or not the wiring between the alternator "B" terminal and the battery (+) terminal is good
by the voltage drop method.
