CHARGING SYSTEM INSPECTION
CURRENT
LEAKAGE
INSPECTION
Remove the rear fender cover (page 2-9).
Tum the ignition switch OFF
and
disconnect the
negative
(-)
cable [1) from the battery.
Connect the ammeter (+) probe [2]
to
the negative
(-)
cable and the ammeter
(-)
probe [3] to the battery H
terminal (4].
Wi
th
the ignition switch turned OFF , check for current
leakage .
NOTE'
When
measuring current using a lesler,
set
It
to
a
high range, and then bring
th
e range down to
an
appropriate level. Current
now
higher than the range
selected may
blowout
the
fu
se
in the tester.
While measuring current, do not turn the ignition
switch
ON
. A sudden surge
of
current may
blowout
the fuse
In
the tester.
SPECIFIED CURRENT LEAKAGE:
0.62 rnA
maximum
If
current leakage exceeds
th
e specified value , a
shorted circuit is
likely.
Locate the short by disconnecting connections one by
one and measuring the current.
CHARGING VOLTAGE INSPECTION
NOTE:
• Be sure the battery
is
in
good condition before
performing this test.
Remove the rear fender cover (page
2-9).
Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
Connect the multimeter between the battery positive
(+)
and negatIVe
(-)
terminals.
NOTE:
To
prevent a short, make absolutely certain which
are the positive
(+) and negative
(-)
terminals
or
cables.
Do not disconnect the battery or any cable in the
charging system without first switching off the
ignition switch.
Fa
ilure to follow this precaution can
damage the tester or electrical components.
Restart the engine and turn the headlight
on
.
Measure the voltage
on
the multimeter when the engine
runs
at
5,000 rpm.
