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”.
Repair Instructions
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.

With Charging Equipment
CAUTION!
When jump starting engine with charging
equipment, be sure equipment used is 12-
volt and negative ground. Do not use 24-volt
charging equipment. Using such equipment
can cause serious damage to electrical
system or electronic parts.

Battery Dismounting and RemountingS7RS0B1A06002
WARNING!
When handling battery, following safety
precautions should be followed:
• Hydrogen gas is produced by battery. A flame or spark near battery may cause the
gas to ignite.
• Battery fluid is highly acidic. Avoid spilling on clothing or other fabric. Any spilled
electrolyte should be flushed with large
quantity of water and cleaned immediately.

Dismounting
1) Disconnect negative cable (1).
2) Disconnect positive cable (2).
3) Remove retainer (3).
4) Remove battery (4).
Remounting 1) Reverse removal procedure.
2) Tighten battery cables securely.
Water Pump / Generator Drive Belt Tension
Inspection and Adjustment
S7RS0B1A06003
WARNING!
Disconnect negative cable at battery before
checking and adjusting belt tension.

1) Inspect belt for cranks, cuts, deformation, wear and clealiness. If it is necessary to replace belt, refer to
“Water Pump / Generator Drive Belt Removal and
Installation”.
2) Check belt for tension. Belt is in proper tension when it deflects the following specification under thumb
pressure (about 10 kg or 22 lb.).
If belt tension is out of spec ification, go to next steps.

Exhaust System
General Description
Exhaust System DescriptionS7RS0B1B01001
The exhaust system consists of an exhaust manifold, three-way catalytic converter (TWC) in catalyst case, exhaust
pipes, a muffler and seals, gasket and etc.
The three-way catalytic converter is an emission control device added to the exhaust system to lower the levels of
Hydrocarbon (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) pollutants in the exhaust gas.
Diagnostic Information and Procedures
Exhaust System CheckS7RS0B1B04001
WARNING!
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not touch the exhaust system when the system is hot. Any
service on the exhaust system should be performed when the system is cool.

At every interval of periodic maintenance service, and when vehicle is raised for other service, check exhaust system
as follows:
• Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration, and out of position.
• Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connection, dent and damage.
• If bolts or nuts are loosened, tighten them to specified torque referring to “Exhaust System Components”.
• Check nearby body areas damaged, missing, or mispositio ned part, open seam, hole connection or any other
defect which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into vehicle.
• Make sure that exhaust system components have enough clearance from underbody to avoid overheating and
possible damage to passenger compartment carpet.
• Any defect should be fixed at once.
