Charging System: 1J-6
Generator Test (Overcharged Battery Check)
S6RW0C1A04004
1) To determine battery condition, refer to “Battery
Description”.
2) If obvious overcharge condition exists as evidenced
by excessive spewing of electrolyte, measure
generator “B” terminal voltage at engine 2000 rpm.
3) If measured voltage is higher than upper limit value,
proceed to disassemble generator.
4) Check ground of brushes. If brushes are not
grounded, replace IC regulator. Then check field coil
for grounds and shorts, referring to “Generator
Inspection”.
Repair Instructions
Jump Starting in Case of Emergency
S6RW0C1A06001
With Auxiliary (Booster) Battery
CAUTION
!
If vehicle is manual transmission model and
has a catalytic converter, do not push or tow
it to start. Damage to its emission system
and/or to other parts may result.
Both booster and discharged battery should be treated
carefully when using jumper cables. Follow the
procedure outlined as follows, being careful not to cause
sparks.
WARNING
!
• Departure from these conditions or
procedure described as follows could
result in:
a. Serious personal injury (particularly to
eyes) or property damage from such
causes as battery explosion, battery
acid, or electrical burns.
b. Damage to electronic components of
either vehicle.
• Never expose battery to open flame or
electric spark. Batteries generate gas
which is flammable and explosive.
• Remove rings, watches, and other jewelry.
Wear approved eye protection.
• Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes,
skin, fabrics, or painted surface as fluid is
a corrosive acid. Flush any contacted area
with water immediately and thoroughly.
• Be careful so that metal tools or jumper
cables do not contact positive battery
terminal (or metal in contact with it) and
any other metal on vehicle, because a
short circuit could occur.
• Batteries should always be kept out of
reach of children.
1) Set parking brake and place automatic transmission
in PARK (NEUTRAL on manual transmission).
2) Turn OFF ignition switch, turn OFF lights and all
other electrical loads.
3) Check built-in indicator (if equipped). If it is clear or
light yellow, replace the battery.
4) Attach end of one jumper cable to positive terminal
of booster battery and the other end of the same
cable to positive terminal of discharged battery. (Use
12-volt battery only to jump start engine).
5) Attach one end of the remaining negative cable to
negative terminal of booster battery, and the other
end to a solid engine ground (such as exhaust
manifold) at least 45 cm (18 in.) away from battery of
vehicle being started.
WARNING
!
Do not connect negative cable directly to
negative terminal of dead battery.
