6-8 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Step 5
1) Measure the generator no-load performance. (
6-10)
Is the generator no-load performance OK?
Step 6
1) Inspect the regulator/rectifier. (
6-10)
Is the regulator/rectifier OK?
Step 7
1) Inspect wiring harness.
Is the wiring harness OK?
Battery overcharges
• Faulty regulator/rectifier.
• Faulty battery.
• Poor contact of regulator/rectifier lead wire coupler.
INSPECTION
BATTERY CURRENT LEAKAGE
• Remove the seat. (
5-4)
• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
• Disconnect the battery
-
lead wire.
• Measure the current between
-
battery terminal and the
-
battery lead wire using the multi-circuit tester. If the reading
exceeds the specified value, leakage is evident.
\ 09900-25008: Multi-circuit tester set
R Tester knob indication: Current (, 20 mA)
Battery current (leak): Under 1 mA
NOTE:
When checking to find the excessive current leakage, remove
the couplers and connectors, one by one, checking each part.
YES Go to Step 6.
NO Faulty generator.
YES Go to Step 7.
NO Faulty regulator/rectifier.
YES Faulty battery.
NO
• Short circuit of wiring harness.
• Poor contact of couplers.
* In case of a large current leak, turn the tester to high
range first to avoid tester damage.
* Do not turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position
when measuring current.
