3. BASIC INSPECTION
1) Battery Terminal
Make sure the terminal connections are
securely tightened. If the terminals are
corroded, clean them or replace the battery. -
* Cleaning
Remove the corrosion or dirt with a wire brush
or sand paper, and then wash out with
lukewarm soapy water.
2) Measuring the Voltage Drop
Measuring at battery terminal ▶
Measure the voltage between battery
terminal (+. -) and wiring clamp. -
Specified valuebelow 0.3V
If the terminals are corroded, clean and
retightening them. If the specified tightening
torque cannot be kept, replace the clamp.
Terminal (+)
Terminal (-)
Terminal (+): 4 ~ 5 Nm
Terminal (-): 6 ± 1Nm

14-6
Measuring at (-) wiring ▶
Measure the voltage between battery wiring
and body ground. -
Specified valuebelow 0.3V
If the voltage is out of the specified value,
check the wiring mounting bolt for corrosion
and looseness. If there is a poor contact due
to corrosion or paint, wipe out the contact area
and retighten it.
Wiring mounting bolt to body
ground (-): 17 Nm
Measuring the battery voltage ▶
Stop the engine and wait for 20 minutes.
Measure the voltage between terminal (+)
and terminal (-) with the ignition switch OFF
and all electric devices OFF. -
Specified valueover 12V

14-70000-00
Measuring the voltage drop between lines ▶
Measure the voltage drop between alternator B+ and battery B+. -
Specified valuebelow 0.3V
If the value is out of the specified value, check the terminal and clamp for looseness.
Checking the charge warning lamp ▶

47009a009e0090009b008a008f004702c80076007502c90047>(Pre-warning).
Check if the charge warning lamp goes out.
If the charge warning lamp does not go off, inspect the electric circuit.
Start the engine and check if the charge warning lamp keeps off. 1.

Inspection ▶
Start the engine and turns on the headlamp, blower and heated wire at their full load. Then, measure
the maximum output current (MSM measurement value) when racing the engine to 2,700 rpm. 1.
Specified value60% of rated current (limit)
Turn the ignition OFF after inspection.
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery and remove the testers (ammeter and
voltmeter). 2.
3.
Characteristic curve (output from alternator) ▶
The output current may not reach the limit value due to various parameters (high temperature or
electric load etc.). Thus, do not perform the inspection with fully charged battery.

14-110000-00
Inspection ▶
Measure the current while removing the fuses one by one. If the current drops sharply when a certain
fuse is removed, inspect the affected circuit. 1.
Specified valuebelow 0.05A
6. INSPECTION - DARK CURRENT
Perform the basic inspection. -
Setting up the tester ▶
Preparation ▶
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
Set up the ammeter as shown in the figure above. 1.
2.
1) When Using Multi-tester
Connect the “+” probe to ground wiring and “-“probe to “-“terminal of battery.

Setting up the tester ▶
Preparation ▶
Disconnect the negative cable from the
battery.
Set up the ammeter and MSM as shown in
the figure above. 1.
2.
2) When Using MSM
Connect the negative cable to the
battery. 3.
Make sure to set up the tester while keeping
its polarity.
Measure the current while removing the fuses
one by one. If the current drops sharply when
a certain fuse is removed, inspect the affected
circuit.

7. INSPECTION - BATTERY
Perform the basic inspection (all electric devices OFF). -
Battery tester
1) Voltage Check (without load)
Connect one measuring clamp to “+”
terminal of battery first, then connect the
other one to “-“terminal. (Disconnect the
clamps in the reverse order). 1.
Read the measurement. 2.
