FLUID LEVEL AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECK
1. Inspect whether or not the battery fluid is between the
UPPER LEVEL and LOWER LEVEL marks.
Caution
(1) If the battery fluid is below the LOWER LEVEL,
the battery could explode in using.
(2) If the battery fluid is over the UPPER LEVEL,
leakage could result.
2. Use a hydrometer and thermometer to check the specific
gravity of the battery fluid.
Standard value: 1.220 - 1.290 [20_C]
The specific gravity of the battery fluid varies with the
temperature, so use the following formula to calculate
the specific gravity for 20_C. Use the calculated value
to determine whether or not the specific gravity is
satisfactory.
D20 = (t - 20)×0.0007 + Dt
D20: Specific gravity of the battery fluid calculated
for 20_C.
Dt: Actually measured specific gravity
t: Actually measured temperature
CHARGING
1. Remove the battery from the vehicle.
2. The normal charging current is a value in amperes which is 1/10th of the battery capacity. If the
battery needs to be charged rapidly because of reasons such as time limitations, the maximum charging
current for rapid charging is the battery capacity expressed as an ampere value.
Battery typeCapacity (5-hour rate)Normal charging currentRapid charging current
44B2034 A3.4 A34 A
3. Determine when charging is finished.
DWhen the specific gravity of the battery electrolyte is constantly within 1.250 - 1.290 for a
continuous period of one hour or more
DWhen the voltage per cell during charging is 2.5 - 2.8 V constantly for a continuous period
of one hour or more

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL -Battery54A-5
Caution
1. The battery plugs should be removed during charging.
2. The battery electrolyte level may rise and overflow from the battery during charging.
3. Explosions may occur if the battery is brought close to naked flames during charging.
4. Be careful to avoid tasks that might produce sparks or other danger while the battery is
charging.
5. After charging is complete, replace the battery plugs, pour water over the battery to rinse
away any sulphuric acid, and let the battery stand to dry.
6. Charge the battery in a well-ventilated location.
7. Do not let the battery electrolyte temperature rise above approximately 45_C
(approximately 55_Cduring rapid charging).
BATTERY TESTING PROCEDURE
TEST STEP
(1) Turn headlamps on for 15 seconds.
(2) Turn headlamps off for 2 minutes to allow battery voltage to
stabilize.
(3) Disconnect cables.
OK
Read open circuit voltage.
OK:Open circuit voltage is more than 12.4 VNGCharge battery at 5 amps. (Refer to LOAD TEST RATE CHART)
RetestOK
(1) Connect a load tester to the battery.
(2) Load the battery at the recommended discharge rate (see LOAD
TEST RATE CHART) for 15 seconds.
(3) Read voltage after 15 seconds, then remove load.
(4) Compare the measured value with the minimum voltage (see
LOAD TEST CHART).
OK:Higher than minimum voltageNG
Replace battery

TROUBLESHOOTING
IGNITION SWITCH
The ignition switch is controlled by the Smart Wiring System (SWS). For troubleshooting procedures,
refer to GROUP 54B.
IMMOBILIZER
STANDARD FLOW OF DIAGNOSIS TROUBLESHOOTING
Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
READING DIAGNOSIS CODES
The diagnosis codes can be read using the MUT-IIor by using the Simple Check Diagnosis mode. (Refer
to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points.)
NOTE
Connect the MUT-IIto the 16-pin diagnosis connector (black).
DIAGNOSIS CODE MEMORY ERASING PROCEDURE
Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points.
INSPECTION USING SIMPLE CHECK DIAGNOSIS MODE
1. Change to Simple Check Diagnosis mode and activate switch diagnosis mode. (Refer to GROUP
00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points.)
2. In this condition, the input signals for the following switches can be checked.
