Electrolyte Specific Gravity

  1. Measure the electrolyte specific gravity using a hydrometer. If it is less than the specification, recharge the battery. (See «BATTERY RECHARGING [L3]»(ref-292887-S33018877992008080600000) .) Battery electrolyte specific gravity [20 °C {68°F}] 1.22-1.29

Battery Voltage

  1. Inspect the battery as follows: BATTERY INSPECTION CHART Step Inspection Action 1 Measure the battery positive voltage. 12.4 V or more Go to Step 3. Less than 12.4 V Go to the next step. 2 Quick charge for 30 min and recheck voltage. 12.4 V or more Go to the next step. Less than 12.4 V Replace the battery. 3 Using the battery load tester, apply load current (see battery load test current) and record battery voltage after 15 s. Is voltage more than the specification? Yes Normal No Replace the battery. Battery load test current 55D23L (48): 180 A 80D26L (55): 195 A Standard specification BATTERY TEMPERATURE AND VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION Battery temp. (°C {°F}) Minimum voltage (V) 4 {39} 9.3 10 {50} 9.4 16 {61} 9.5 21 {70} 9.6

Back-up Current

  1. Verify that the ignition switch is off (key has been removed) and that all doors are closed.
  2. Remove the battery cover. (See «BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L3]»(ref-292887-S30644836642008080600000) .)
  3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  4. Connect the tester between the negative battery terminal and negative battery cable, leave the battery undisturbed for 15 min , and then measure the back-up current. If not within the specification, measure the back-up current while removing the fuses one by one from the inside of the main fuse block and the inside of the fuse block. CAUTION: Operating electrical loads while the back-up current is being measured can damage the tester. NOTE: If the battery is not left undisturbed for 15 min , the tester will indicate a high value ( approx. 300 mA ). If the key or any electrical accessory is operated within approx. 15 min after the tester is connected, the battery must be left undisturbed for approx. 15 min from that point. For vehicles with the immobilizer system, the system periodically shifts synchronization of the security light flashing. Therefore, 45 mA (0.1 s) current is supplied when the security light is illuminated, and 25 mA (2 s) current is supplied when the security light is not illuminated. In addition, the measuring instrument, which shows the average value, indicates around 30 mA. Battery back-up current (When the ignition switch is off, the ignition key is removed, and all doors are closed.) Vehicles with immobilizer system: 25-45 mA Vehicles without immobilizer system: 30 mA or less
  5. Inspect and repair wiring harnesses and connectors of the fuse where the current has decreased.

BATTERY RECHARGING [L3]

WARNINGKeep all flames away from the battery, otherwise evaporated gas from the battery fluid may catch fire, and cause serious injury. Remove the battery filler caps when recharging to prevent battery deformation or damage.
CAUTIONDo not quick charge for more than 30 min It will damage the battery.

  1. Remove the battery and then place it in a pan of water.
  2. Remove the battery filler caps.
  3. Connect a battery charger to the battery and adjust the charging current as follows. Battery slow charge current 55D23L (48): 4.5-5.5 A 80D26L (55): 5.5-6.5 A Battery quick charge current [30 min] 55D23L (48): 30 A 80D26L (55): 35 A
  4. After the battery is recharged, verify that the voltage is within the specification and remains at the same value for 1 h or more after the recharging was completed. If not within the specification, replace the battery. Standard voltage 12.4 V or more

Generator Warning Light

  1. Verify that the battery is fully charged.
  2. Verify that the drive belt is correct. (See «DRIVE BELT INSPECTION [L3]»(ref-292896-S15752046352008080600000) .)
  3. With the ignition switch turned to the ON position, verify that the generator warning light illuminates. If it does not illuminate, inspect the generator warning light and the wiring harness. If the generator warning light and the wiring harness are normal, inspect the PCM.
  4. Verify that the generator warning light goes out after the engine is started. If the generator warning light does not go out, perform the DTC inspection, then perform troubleshooting according to the corresponding diagnostic procedure. (See «ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [L3]»(ref-292892-S23040540582008080600000) .) (See «DTC TABLE [L3]»(ref-292892-S00807604312008080600000) .)

Scheme 15

Scheme 15: Voltage
  1. Verify that the battery is fully charged.
  2. Verify that the drive belt is correct. (See «DRIVE BELT INSPECTION [L3]»(ref-292896-S15752046352008080600000) .)
  3. Turn off all electrical loads.
  4. Start the engine.
  5. Verify that the generator rotates smoothly without any noise while the engine is running. If there is any noise, find the cause and repair or replace the generator.
  6. Measure the voltage at each terminal using a tester. Generator standard voltage [IG-ON] Terminal B: B+ Terminal P: Approx. 1 V or less Terminal D: Approx. 0 V Generator standard voltage [Idle, 20°C {68°F}] Terminal B: 13-15 V Terminal P: Approx. 3-8 V Terminal D: Turn the electrical loads (headlights, blower motor, rear window defroster, brake lights, etc.) on and verify that the voltage reading increases.

Current

Note. Since the charging current decreases rapidly after starting the engine, carry out the following procedure quickly, and read the maximum current value.

  1. Verify that the battery is fully charged.
  2. Verify that the drive belt is correct. (See «DRIVE BELT INSPECTION [L3]»(ref-292896-S15752046352008080600000) .)
  3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  4. Connect a tester, which can read 120 A or more , between generator terminal B and the wiring harness.
  5. Connect the negative battery cable.
  6. Turn off all electrical loads.
  7. Start the engine.
  8. Increase engine speed to 2,500 rpm. NOTE: When the electrical load on the vehicle is low, the specified current cannot be verified although the generator is normal. In this case, increase the electrical load (Leave the headlights turned on for a while, then discharge the battery, or use a similar method.) and recheck. When the generator itself or the ambient temperature are too high, the specified current also cannot be verified. In this case, cool down the generator and recheck.
  9. Turn the electrical loads (headlights, blower motor, rear window defroster, brake lights, etc.) on and verify that the current reading increases more than the minimum value indicated below. If it is not as specified, go to the PCM and generator shearing inspection. (See «PCM AND GENERATOR SHEARING INSPECTION»(ref-292887-S13816109182008080600000) .) Generator generated current minimum value 70 % of the nominal output current (nominal output current: 110 A) [Ambient temp. 20°C {68°F}, voltage 13.0-15.0 V, both engine and generator are hot]
