Circuit protection
–
Fuse -
The electrical installation of the engine has a fuse that protects all the electronics in case of
overload or short circuit. It is located in the wire harness next to the starter motor.
Relays
The relays of the electrical installation are located inside the electrical protective box where
it is shown in the follow image.
Maintenance task. Starter inspection
STARTER:
1.
Check if there is any impurity in pinion teeth.
2.
Make sure that the pinion shaft turns freely when turned in the
direction of driving (clockwise) and it is locked when turned in the
opposite direction. If not, replace the overrunning clutch.
Maintenance task. Alternator belt tension inspection
Push the belt inward with thumb pressure exerted midway between the pulleys, as shown, to
check the belt tension (deflection). If the tension is incorrect, loosen the adjusting bracket bolt and
mounting bolt, and move the alternator in or out.
An excessive tension may cause a quick wear of the belt and alternator bearings. Otherwise,
if the belt is excessively loose or has oil and insufficient load, it can cause the belt to skid.
Never adjust the belt tension with engine running or battery connected.
