DIAGNOSIS
Trouble in charging system will show up as one or more of the fol-
lowing conditions:
1) Faulty indicator lamp operation.
2) An undercharged battery as evidenced by slow cranking or indi-
cator dark.
3) An overcharged battery as evidenced by excessive spewing of
electrolyte from vents.
Noise from generator may be caused by a loose drive pulley, loose
mounting bolts, worn or dirty bearings, defective diode, or defec-
tive stator.

Do not create a short circuit between IG and L termi-
nals. Always connect these terminals through a lamp.
Do not connect any load between L and E.
When connecting a charger or a booster battery to ve-
hicle battery, refer to this section describing battery
