4Ground the negative (-) pole of the voltmeter.
(c) Check the charging circuit
yWith the engine running from idle to 2,000 rpm, check the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage: 10A or less
Standard voltage: 13.2V---14.8V
8. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITH LOAD
(a) With the engine running at 2,000 rpm, turn on the high beam headlights and place the blower switch at "4".
Check the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage: 20A or more
(b) HINT:
yIf the ammeter reading is less than standard amperage, repair the alternator.
yIf the battery is fully charged, the indication value will sometimes be less than standard amperage.Ammeter

(a) Disconnect the battery ground cable.
2. Notes when replacing a headlamp bulb
(a) Before replacing a halogen bulb, turn the headlamp OFF to make it cool.
(b) When installing a new halogen bulb, do not touch the glass part of the bulb with bare hands.
(c) If there is oil stain on the surface of halogen bulb (headlamp and front fog lamp) when the lamps are
turned ON, its service life will be shortened.
(d) Halogen bulbs (headlamp and front fog lamp) have pressurized gas inside and require special handling.
They can explode if dropped to ground.The glass fragments will splash up.
(e) When replacing, make sure to use the bulbs with the same power, same model.
(f) After the bulb is installed, make the lamp holder tight.
