CHARGING SYSTEM INSPECTION
LEAK TEST
● Trun off the ignition switch, and disconnect the ground
(-) cable from the battery.
● Connect an ampere meter between negative (-) terminal
and ground cable.
● With the ignition switch off, measure the leakage current.
LEAK CURRENT : Not to allow to exceed 0.5A
TOOL : DIGITAL TESTER
●When measuring current using a tester, set it to a large
range, and then bring it down the range to an
appropriate level.
●Current flow larger than the range selected may blow
out the fuse in the tester.
●While measuring current, do not turn the ignition on. A
sudden surge of current may blow out the fuse in the
tester.
!
NOTE
△
●Be sure that the battery is fully charged before
performing this test.
●The amount of current flow may change abruptly if not
sufficiently charged. Use a battery whose voltage
between its terminals is 13.0 – 13.2V
!
NOTE
△
●Take precaution not to control the tester or wiring
when flowing the current.
●It can cause the damage for the other parts by
overflowing the current.

CHARGING VOLTAGE INSPECTION
● If the brobes are connected in reverse order, the
registered current flow direction when charging and
discharging the battery will be reversed as well.
● After warming up the engine, replace the battery with a
fully charged battery.
● Connect a tester between the battery terminals.
● Connect a RPM tester to the high-tension cord.
● Start the engine, gradually increase the engine speed
and measure the charging voltage and charging current.
CHARGING CURRENT : 0~0.5A / 5,000rpm
CONTROL VOLTAGE : 14.5
±
0.5V / 5,000rpm
TOOLS : RPM TESTER, DIGITAL TESTER
● Install in the reverse order of removal.
