CURRENT TEST
This inspection must be performed with an
electric tester when the battery is fully

Warm up the engine for inspection.
Connect the electric tester across the battery
terminals. Disconnect the red wire from the
fuse terminal and connect an ammeter
between the red wire lead and the fuse
terminal as shown.
Attach a tachometer to the engine.
Start the engine and gradually increase the
engine speed to measure the limit voltage
and current.
Limit Voltage/Current: 13.5～15.5V/0.5A
max.
If the limit voltage is not within the
specified range, check the
regulator/rectifier.
Connect the electric tester positive (+)
terminal to ground wire and the tester
