ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
(a) Check the electrolyte level.
(1) If the electrolyte level is low, replace the battery
(or add distilled water) and check the charging
system.
2. CHECK BATTERY SPECIFIC GRAVITY
(a) Check the color of the hydrometer.
Result
3. CHECK BATTERY VOLTAGE
(a) If it has not been 20 minutes since the vehicle was
driven or since the engine was stopped, turn the
ignition switch to the ON position and turn on the
electrical systems (headlights, blower motor, rear
defogger, etc.) for 60 seconds. This will remove the
surface charge from the battery.
(b) Turn the ignition switch off and the electrical
systems off.
(c) Measure the battery voltage between the negative (-
) and positive (+) terminals of the battery.
Standard voltage:
12.5 to 12.9 V at 20
C (68F)
HINT:
If the voltage is below the specification, charge the
battery.
4. CHECK BATTERY TERMINAL
(a) Check that the battery terminals are not loose or
corroded.
If the terminals are corroded, clean them.
5. CHECK FUSES
(a) Measure the resistance of the ALT fuse, ALT-S fuse,
GAUGE fuse and GAUGE 1 fuse.
Standard resistance:
Below 1
If the result is not as specified, replace the fuses as
necessary.
6. CHECK V-RIBBED BELT
(a) Check the belt for wear, cracks or other signs of
damage.
If any of the following defects is found, replace the
V-ribbed belt.
• The belt is worn out, cracked, or the cords are
exposed.
• The cracks reach the cords in more than one
place.
• The belt has chunks missing from the ribs.

(b) Check that the belt fits properly in the ribbed
grooves.
HINT:
Check with your hand to confirm that the belt has
not slipped out of the groove on the bottom of the
pulley.
If it has slipped out, replace the V-ribbed belt. Install
a new V-ribbed belt correctly.
7. INSPECT GENERATOR WIRING
(a) Visually check the generator wiring.
(1) Check that the wiring is in good condition.
8. CHECK FOR ABNORMAL NOISES
(a) Listen for abnormal noises from the generator.
(1) Check that no abnormal noises are heard from
the generator while the engine is running.
9. CHECK CHARGE WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT
(a) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Check
that the charge warning light comes on.
(b) Start the engine and check that the light goes off.
If the light does not operate as specified,
troubleshoot the charge warning light circuit.
10. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITHOUT LOAD
(a) Connect a voltmeter and ammeter to the charging
circuit as follows.
(1) Disconnect the wire from terminal B of the
generator, then connect it to the negative (-)
lead of an ammeter.
(2) Connect the positive (+) lead of the ammeter to
terminal B of the generator.
(3) Connect the positive (+) lead of a voltmeter to
positive (+) terminal of the battery.
(4) Ground the negative (-) lead of the voltmeter.
(b) Check the charging circuit.
(1) Keep the engine speed at 2000 rpm and check
the reading on the ammeter and voltmeter.
Standard amperage:
10 A or less
Standard voltage:
13.2 to 14.8 V
If the result is not as specified, replace the
generator.
HINT:
If the battery is not fully charged, the ammeter
reading will sometimes be more than the
standard amperage.
11. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITH LOAD
(a) Keep the engine speed at 2000 rpm, turn on the
high beam headlights, and turn the heater blower
switch to the "HI" position.
(b) Check the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage:
30 A or more

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Using the intelligent tester to perform ACTIVE TEST allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be
operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because
intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing ACTIVE TEST
early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. DATA LIST information can be displayed while
performing ACTIVE TEST.
1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST
(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Turn the ignition switch off.
(c) Connect the intelligent tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle
interface module) to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(e) Turn on the tester.
(f) Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST".
(g) According to the display on the tester, perform the "ACTIVE TEST".
HINT:
• This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 60 km/h (37 mph) or more.
• This test can be conducted in the 5th gear.
(h) Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change
abruptly.
HINT:
• When changing the accelerator pedal opening angle while driving, if the engine speed does
not change, lock-up is on.
• Slowly release, but not fully, the accelerator pedal in order to decelerate. (Fully releasing the
pedal will close the throttle valve and lock-up may be turned off.)
