CHARGING SYSTEM INSPECTION

CURRENT LEAKAGE TEST
Open the battery box lid (page 21-5).
[1] [2]
Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the negative
(–) ground terminal.
Connect the ammeter (+) probe [1] to the negative (–)
cable [2] and the ammeter (–) probe [3] to the engine
earth point [4].
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 the fuse in the tester.
• While measuring current, do not turn the ignition [3] [4]
switch ON. A sudden surge of current may blow the
fuse in the tester.
SPECIFIED CURRENT LEAKAGE: 0.66 mA
maximum
If current leakage exceeds the specified value, a
shorted circuit is the probable cause.
Locate the short by disconnecting connections one by
one and measuring the current.
