Charging System: Testing and Inspection

Before conducting a generator test, make sure that the battery is fully charged. A 30-volt voltmeter and suitable test probes are necessary for the test. The generator can be checked easily by referring to the Inspection Table.
- Before starting, inspect the fusible link.
- Use fully charged battery.


NOTE:
- If the inspection result is OK even though the charging system is malfunctioning, check the B terminal connection. Check the tightening torque.
B terminal tightening torque:
7.84 - 10.78 Nm (0.8 - 1.0 kg.m, 70 - 95 in.lb)
- When field circuit is open, check condition of rotor coil, rotor slip ring and brush. If necessary, replace faulty parts with new ones.
