Inspection

▶

Start the engine and turns on the headlamp, blower and heated wire at their full load. Then, measure 

the maximum output current (MSM measurement value) when racing the engine to 2,700 rpm.

1.

Specified value

60% of rated current (limit)

Turn the ignition OFF after inspection.

Disconnect the negative cable from the battery and remove the testers (ammeter and 

voltmeter).

3.

Characteristic curve (output from alternator)

▶

The output current may not reach the limit value due to various parameters (high temperature or 

electric load etc.). Thus, do not perform the inspection with fully charged battery.

5. INSPECTION - REGULATING VOLTAGE

Perform the basic inspection.

-

Setting up the testers

▶

Preparation

▶

Set up the ammeter and voltmeter as shown 

in the figure.

1.

Inspection

▶

Turn the ignition ON and measure the voltage on the voltmeter.

1.

Start the engine and turn all electric devices OFF.

Increase the engine speed to 2,700 rpm and maintain the speed. Measure the voltage when the 

output current from alternator decrease below 30A.

 Inspection

▶

Measure the current while removing the fuses one by one. If the current drops sharply when a certain 

fuse is removed, inspect the affected circuit.

1.

Specified value

below 0.05A

6. INSPECTION - DARK CURRENT

Perform the basic inspection.
