 CHARGING SYSTEM

 INSPECTION

 Remove the battery cover (see page 16-4).

 CURRENT LEAKAGE TEST

 Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the
 negative (-) cable from the battery.
 Connect the ammeter (+) probe to the
 negative (-) cable and the ammeter (-) probe
 to the battery (-) terminal.
 With the ignition switch OFF, check for
 current leakage.
 When measuring current using a tester, set it
 to a high range, and then bring the range
 down to an appropriate level. Current flow
 higher than the range selected may blow out
 the fuse in the tester.
 While measuring current, do not turn the
 ignition switch ON. A sudden surge of
 current may blow out the fuse in the tester.
 Specified current leakage: 5 mA max.

 If current leakage exceeds the specified value,
 a shorted circuit is likely.
 Locate the short by disconnecting
 connections one by one and measuring the
 current.
