REMOVAL SERVICE POINT
AA"DRIVE BELT REMOVAL
Due to the adoption of the Serpentine drive system with the
auto-tensioner, the following operation is required:
1. Insert the 12.7sq. spinner handle and etc. into the tool
hole of the auto-tensioner and rotate it counterclockwise
until the auto-tensioner gets to the stopper.
2. Align hole A with hole B for fixing by inserting the L-shaped
hexagon wrench, then remove the drive belt.
Caution
When the drive belt is reused, use a chalk to indicate
an arrow of rotation direction on the back of the belt
so that it can be re-assembled in the same direction
as before.

ENGINE ELECTRICAL -Charging System16-10
EXAMPLES OF ABNORMAL WAVEFORMS
NOTE
1. The size of the waveform patterns differs largely, depending on the adjustment of the variable knob
on the analyzer.
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.
