SsangYong Korando III (2010 year). Manual - part 421

03-6

Measuring at (-) wiring

▶

Measure the voltage between battery wiring 

and body ground.

-

Specified value

below 0.3V

If the voltage is out of the specified value, 

check the wiring mounting bolt for corrosion 

and looseness. If there is a poor contact due 

to corrosion or paint, wipe out the contact area 

and retighten it.

Wiring mounting bolt to body 

ground (-): 17 Nm

Measuring the battery voltage

▶

Stop the engine and wait for 20 minutes. 

Measure the voltage between terminal (+) 

and terminal (-) with the ignition switch OFF 

and all electric devices OFF.

-

Specified value

over 12V

03-7

0000-00

Measuring the voltage drop between lines

▶

Measure the voltage drop between alternator B+ and battery B+.

-

Specified value

below 0.3V

If the value is out of the specified value, check the terminal and clamp for looseness.   

Checking the charge warning lamp

▶

Turn off all electric devices and put the ignition switch “ON” (Pre-warning).

Check if the charge warning lamp goes out.

If the charge warning lamp does not go off, inspect the electric circuit.

Start the engine and check if the charge warning lamp keeps off.

Setting up the testers

▶

Preparation

▶

Set up the ammeter and voltmeter as 

shown in the figure.

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.
