CH-5CHARGING SYSTEM On-Vehicle Inspection
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT BATTERY SPECIFIC GRAVITY AND
ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
(a) Check the specific gravity of each cell.
Standard specific gravity:
When fully charged at 20°C (68°F)
1.25-1.27 (ex. (95D31 R and 95D31L))
1.27 -1.29 (95D31R and 95D31L)
If not as specified, charge the battery.
(b) Check the electrolyte quantity of each cell.
If insufficient, refill with distilled (or purified) water.
2. CHECK BATTERY TERMINALS, FUSIBLE LINKS AND
FUSES
(a) Check that the battery terminals are not loose or
corroded.
(b) Check the fusible links and fuses for continuity.
3. INSPECT DRIVE BELTS
(a) Visually check each belt for cracks, oiliness or wear.
Check that the belt does not touch the bottom of the
pulley groove.
If one belt has any of the above defects, replace both belts.
(b) Check the drive belt deflection by pressing on the belt
at the points indicated in the illustration with 10 kg
(22.0 Ib, 98 N) of pressure.
Drive belt deflection:
New belt 6-7 mm (0.24-0.28 in.)
Used belt 8-11 mm (0.31 -0.43 in.)
If the deflection is not as specified, adjust it.
HINT:
• "New belt" refers to a belt which has been used 5
minutes or less on a running engine.
• "Used belt" refers to a belt which has been used on a
running engine for 5 minutes or more.
• After installing a new belt, run the engine for about 5
minutes and recheck the deflection.
