Hook up the following equipment:
-
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm (min
−1
) with no load (in P or N (A/T model) or neutral (M/T model)), until the radiator fan comes on then let it idle.
-
Raise the engine speed to 2,000 rpm (min
−1
) and hold it there.
-
Turn the headlights (high beam) on, and measure the voltage at the alternator terminal.
Is the voltage within 13.9−15.1 V?
|
-
Read the amperage at 13.5 V.
NOTE: Adjust the voltage by turning the blower motor, rear window defogger, brake lights and etc. on.
Is the amperage 60 A or more?
