CHECK BATTERY CONDITION NOTICE: If the battery is weak or if the engine is difficult to start, perform the following procedures. (a) Check the battery for damage and deformation. If severe damage, deformation or leakage is found, replace the battery. If the electrolyte quantity is below the lower line, replace the battery. If the electrolyte quantity is above the lower line, check the battery voltage when cranking the engine. If the voltage is below 9.6 V, recharge or replace the battery. HINT: Before checking the battery voltage, turn off all the electrical systems (headlights, blower motor, rear defogger, etc.). (2) For non-maintenance-free batteries: If the electrolyte quantity is below the lower line, add distilled water to each cell. Then, recharge the battery and check the electrolyte's specific gravity. Standard specific gravity: 1.25 to 1.29 at 20°C (68°F) If the electrolyte quantity is above the lower line, check the battery voltage when cranking the engine. If the voltage is below 9.6 V, recharge or replace the battery. HINT: Before checking the battery voltage, turn off all the electrical systems (headlights, blower motor, rear defogger, etc.). (c) Turn the ignition switch off and turn on the headlight for 20 to 30 seconds. This will remove the surface charge from the battery. (d) Measure the battery voltage between the negative (-) and 12.5 to 12.9 V at 20°C (68°F) If the voltage is below the specification, recharge the battery. 2. INSPECT BATTERY TERMINAL AND FUSE (a) Visually check the battery terminals. (1) Check that the battery terminals are not loose or corroded. 1UR-FE CHARGING: CHARGING SYSTEM: ON-VEHICLE INSPEC... |
