Plunger
Inspect plunger for wear. Replace if necessary.
Magnetic Switch
Push in plunger and release it. The plunger should
return quickly to its original position. Replace if
necessary.
Pull-in coil open circuit test
Check for continuity across magnetic switch “S” terminal
(1) and “M” terminal (2). If no continuity, coil is open and
should be replaced. Hold-in coil open circuit test
Check for continuity across ma
gnetic switch “S” terminal
(1) and coil case. If no continuity, coil is open and should
be replaced.
Rear Bracket Bush
Inspect bush for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
Brush
• Check brushes for wear. Measure length of brushes and if below the limit,
replace the brush.
Brush length
Standard: 12.3 mm (0.48 in.)
Limit: 7.0 mm (0.28 in.)
• Install brushes to each brush holder and check for smooth movement.

Charging System Circuit
The generator features solid state regulator that it mounted inside the generator. All regulator components are
enclosed into a solid mold, and this unit along with the brus h holder assembly is attached to the rear housing. The
regulator voltage is being controlled by ECM under some cond itions while driving. Refer to “Generator Control System
Description in Section 1A”.
The generator rotor bearings contain enough grease to eliminate the need for periodic lubrication.
Two brushes carry current through the two slip rings to the field coil mounted on the rotor, and under normal conditions
will provide long period of attention-free service.
The stator windings are assembled inside a laminate d core that forms part of the generator frame.
A rectifier bridge connected to the stator windings contains diodes, and electrically changes the stator AC. voltages to
a D.C. voltage which appears at the generator output terminal.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures
Battery InspectionS7RS0B1A04001
Common Causes of Failure
A battery is not designed to last indefinitely; however, with proper care, it will provide many years of service. If the
battery performs satisfactorily during te st but fails to operate properly for no apparent reason, the following are some
factors that may point to the cause of trouble:
• Accessories left on overnight or for an extended period without the generator operating.
• Slow average driving speeds for short periods.
• Electrical load exceeding generator output partic ularly with addition of aftermarket equipment.
• Defects in charging system such as high resistance, s lipping drive belt, loose generator output terminal, faulty
generator or voltage regulator, Refer to “Generator Symptom Diagnosis”.
• Battery abuse, including failure to keep battery cable terminals clean and tight or loose battery hold down.
• Mechanical problems in electrical sys tem such as shorted or pinched wires.
Visual Inspection
Check for obvious damage, such as cracked or broken case or cover, that could permit loss of electrolyte. If obvious
damage is noted, replace battery. Determine cause of damage and correct as needed.
Generator Symptom DiagnosisS7RS0B1A04002
CAUTION!
• Do not mistake polarities of “IG” terminal and “L” terminal.
• Do not create short circuit between “IG” and “L” terminals. Always connect these terminals through a lamp.
• Do not connect any load between “L” and “E” terminals.
• When connecting charger or booster battery to vehicle battery, refer to “Jump Starting in Case of Emergency”.

Trouble in charging system will show up as one or more of the following conditions:
1) Faulty indicator lamp operation.
2) An undercharged battery as evidenced by slow cranking or indicator dark.
3) An overcharged battery as evidenced by ex cessive spewing of electrolyte from vents.
Condition Possible cause Correction / Reference Item
Noisy generator Loose drive belt Adjust or replace drive belt.
Loose drive belt pulley Tighten by specified torque.
Loose mounting bolts Tighten by specified torque.
Worn or dirty bearings Replace.
Defective diode or stator Replace.
Charge light does not
light with ignition ON and
engine off Fuse blown
Replace fuse and check for shorted circuit.
Indicator lamp (LED) faulty Replace combination meter.
Wiring connection loose Tighten loose connection.
IC regulator or field coil faulty Replace.
Poor contact between brush and slip
ring Repair or replace.
Charge light does not go
out with engine running
(battery requires frequent
recharging) Drive belt loose or worn
Adjust or replace drive belt.
IC regulator or generator faulty Replace.
Wiring faulty Repair wiring.

Generator Test (Overcharged Battery Check)S7RS0B1A04004
1) To determine battery condition, refer to “Battery Description”.
2) If obvious overcharge condition exists as evidenced by excessive spewing of electrolyte, measure
generator “B” terminal voltage at engine 2000 rpm. 3) If measured voltage is higher than upper limit value,
proceed to disassemble generator.
4) Check ground of brushes. If brushes are not grounded, replace IC regulator. Then check field coil
for grounds and shorts, referring to “Generator
Inspection”.

Jump Starting in Case of EmergencyS7RS0B1A06001
CAUTION!
If vehicle is manual transaxle model and has
a catalytic converter, do not push or tow it to
start. Damage to its emission system and/or
to other parts may result.

Both booster and discharged battery should be treated
carefully when using ju mper cables. Follow the
procedure outlined as follows, being careful not to cause
sparks.
WARNING!
• Departure from these conditions or procedure described as follows could
result in:
– Serious personal injury (particularly to eyes) or property damage from such
causes as battery explosion, battery
acid, or electrical burns.
– Damage to electronic components of either vehicle.
• Remove rings, watches, and other jewelry. Wear approved eye protection.
• Be careful so that metal tools or jumper cables do not contact positive battery
terminal (or metal in contact with it) and
any other metal on vehicle, because a
short circuit could occur. • Never expose battery to open flame or
electric spark. Batteries generate gas
which is flammable and explosive.
• Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics, or painted surface as fluid is
a corrosive acid. Flush any contacted area
with water immediately and thoroughly.
• Batteries should always be kept out of reach of children.
• Do not connect negative cable directly to negative terminal of dead battery.

1) Set parking brake and place automatic transaxle in PARK (NEUTRAL on manual transaxle). Turn off
ignition, turn off lights and all other electrical loads.
2) Check electrolyte level. If it is below low level line, add distilled water.
3) Attach end of one jumper cable to positive terminal of booster battery and the other end of the same
cable to positive terminal of discharged battery. (Use
12-volt battery only to jump start engine).
4) Attach one end of the remaining negative cable to negative terminal of booster battery, and the other
end to a solid engine ground (such as exhaust
manifold) at least 45 cm (18 in.) away from battery of
vehicle being started.
5) Start engine of vehicle with booster battery and turn off electrical accessories. Then start engine of the
vehicle with discharged battery.

• Using an ohmmeter (1), check that there is no continuity between slip ring (2) and rotor core (3). If there is
continuity, replace the rotor.
• Check slip rings for roughness or scoring. If rough or scored, replace the rotor.
Stator
• Using an ohmmeter (1), check all leads (2) for continuity. If there is no co ntinuity, replace the stator.
• Using an ohmmeter (1), check that there is no continuity between coil leads (2) and stator core (3). If
there is continuity, replace the stator. Brush and Brush Holder
Check each brush (1) for wear by measuring its length
as shown. If brush is found worn down to service limit,
replace brush.
Exposed brush length “a”
Standard: 16 mm (0.63 in.)
: Limit: 5.0 mm (0.20 in.)
Rectifier
Using ohmmeter, check continuity between “B” terminal
(1) or “E” terminal (2) and each diode lead (3).
Check both directions by reversing probes of ohmmeter
and there should be only one-way continuity in each
case. If check result is not satisfactory, replace rectifier
(4).
