3) Checking Battery

09-71451-01
(1) Checking
Using battery tester ▶
PASS (11.0 V or more): Explain to the customer that the battery is reusable.
Need to be charged (9.0 to 11.0 V): Charge the battery with a charger and reinstall it. Explain it
to the customer.
Need to be replaced (9.0 V or more): The battery should be replaced due to overdischarging. -

-
(2) How to use battery tester
How it works and How to use it ▶
Determine battery capacity by fixing current
(load capacity) and time and varying
voltage.
Determine battery capacity based on the
amount of voltage drop when discharging a
fixed load capacity (120 A) for 5 seconds.
Connect the tester to the battery and read
the display while applying a load for 5
seconds. -

-
How to read display ▶
Red area (①): overdischarge or faulty
battery
Yellow area (②): Need to be charged (using
a vehicle alternator and a battery charger)
Green area (③): Normal
Red area on the left-hand side of OK (④):
Impossible to charge with an alternator
Green area with OK (⑤): Normally charged
Red area on the right-hand side of OK (⑥):
Overcharged by an alternator태 -

(3) Starting with jumper cable
If the battery is weak or terminated, the battery from another vehicle can be used with jumper
cables to start the engine.
Connecting order ▶
The positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery
The positive (+) terminal of the booster battery
The negative (-) terminal of the booster battery
Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the body of the discharged vehicle, such as the
engine block or a front towing hook. 1.

Starting ▶
Prepare a set of jumper cables.
Place another vehicle that has the same 12 V of power near to the discharged vehicle.
Switch off all electrical accessories for the discharged vehicle.
Apply the parking brake and shift the transaxle to the P position (automatic transaxle) or neutral
(N) position (manual transaxle).
Connect the jumper cables.
Try to start the discharged vehicle while accelerating the engine rpm in the booster vehicle.
Attempt to start the engine with the discharged battery.
After starting the engine, carefully disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse sequence of
connection. 1.

If the charge warning lamp ( ) on the instrument cluster comes on while driving, there is a
malfunction in the charge system including the battery. Therefore, carrying out the system check
is needed.
(4) Maintenance
Make sure that the battery cables are firmly connected.
If the terminals are corroded, clean them with a wire brush or sandpapers.
Always disconnect the battery cables with the ignition key removed. When disconnecting the
battery cables with the ignition key turned to ON or ACC position, several electric units can be
damaged due to sudden voltage change.
Check the battery for crack, damage or fluid leaks. Replace it if necessary.
Wipe out the battery fluid on the battery surface using a rubber glove and a clean cloth wetted
with soapy water. -

Alternator
The alternator charges the battery and
supplies power to each electric unit by
converting the mechanical energy to the
electrical energy.
1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1) Overview
The charge system is designed to supply electrical energy to the vehicle while driving, and
supplies a constant direct current voltage by converting mechanical rotational movement to
electrical energy.
The voltage regulator on the back of the alternator controls the generated voltage in all rotating
ranges and adjusts the system voltage according to the electric load and ambient temperature
change.
2) System Layout (Locations)
Battery
It converts the chemical energy to the
electrical energy and supplies power to
the corresponding electric units when
starting the engine.

2) Charging
The alternator uses a new regulator which has three diodes. It consists of the delta stator, rectifier
bridge, slip ring and brush.
Charging time according to vehicle conditions and environment ▶
Specification: Charging a fully depleted high-
capacity battery takes twice or more as long
as charging a fully depleted battery for small
vehicles.
Temperature: The lower the temperature is,
the longer the time taken to charge the
battery. When connecting the battery charger
to the cold battery, the amount of current the
battery can accept initially is very small. As the
battery gets warmer, it can accept more
current.
Charging capacity: Charging a battery with a low-capacity charger takes longer time than
charging with a high-capacity charger.
Charging status: Charging a fully depleted battery takes twice or more as long as charging a half-
depleted battery. Since the electrolyte in a fully depleted battery consists of nearly pure water and
conductor, only a very small amount of current can be accepted by the battery initially. The
charging current increases as the amount of acids in the electrolyte is increased by the charging
current.

4) Operation
Glow plug is installed in the cylinder head. It enhances the cold starting performance and reduces
the exhaust gas during cold starting.
(1) Operation
Duty control area:
Between 5 and 100%
Frequency: 20 Hz
Duty ratio = (RMS voltage)²
(Battery voltage)² 1.

If normal communication with the ECU is established 2 seconds after the power is supplied to the
IGN terminal from the battery, the GCU supplies the battery power to raise the temperature of the

If the input power (VB) is 11.5 V or less, the GCU supplies the battery power for arrival time
(T1).
If the input power (VB) is greater than 11.5 V, the GCU supplies the voltage of 11.5 V for arrival
time (T1). 1.

- The time for pre-heating is controlled by the ECU.
The time for pre-heating by coolant temperature can vary slightly depending on e.g. other
vehicle operation elements.
