(d) HIGH ELECTRICAL LOAD METHOD: When a
malfunction seems to occur when electrical load is
excessive.
(1) Turn on the heater blower, headlight, rear
window defogger and all other electrical loads.
Check if the malfunction reoccurs.
5. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
Look for output Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) (from the
DTC checks) in the appropriate section's Diagnostic Trouble
Code Chart. Use the chart to determine the trouble area and
the proper inspection procedure. A description of each of the
chart's columns is shown in the table below.
6. PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
When a "Normal" code is output during a DTC check but
the problem still occurs, use the Problem Symptoms
Table. The suspected areas (circuits or parts) for each
problem symptoms are in the table. The suspected areas
are listed in order of probability. A description of each of
the chart's columns is shown in the table below.
HINT:
In some cases, the problem is not detected by the
diagnostic system even though a problem symptom
occurs. It is possible that the problem is occurring
outside the detection range of the diagnostic system, or
that the problem occurs in a completely different system.
7. CIRCUIT INSPECTION

CH–62GR-FE CHARGING – CHARGING SYSTEM
CH
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.
