l If not, inspect the charging alarm
indicator, harness between the battery,
indicator and terminals of generator. If
charging alarm indicator and harness
is both normal, replace the generator
4. Make sure that the charging alarm
indicator turns off when engine runs
normally.
Voltage of Generator
1. Make sure that battery has been fully
charged.
2. Make sure that deformation/tension of
belt is within the specified range (Refer
to Drive Belt, Inspection of Drive Belt).
3. Turn off all electrical appliances.
4. Start engine, make sure that the generator
operates smoothly without any abnormal
noise.
5. Measure voltage between terminals
shown in figure.
l If it is incorrect, repair or replace the
generator.

Current
1. Make sure that battery has been fully
charged.
2. Make sure that deformation/tension of
belt is within the specified range (Refer
to Drive Belt, Inspection of Drive Belt).
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
4. Connect a current meter with 120A or
bigger range between terminal B of
generator and harness.
5. Connect the negative battery cable.
6. Turn off all electrical appliances.
7. Turn on the generator and accelerate to
2000-3500rpm.
8. Turn on following appliances; make sure
that reading of current meter increases.
(1) Headlamp
(2) Blower motor
(3) Rear window defroster.
l If the current doses not increase,
repair or replace the generator.
Attention
l Current output of generator varies
with load.

Removal/Installation of Ignition Coil
(The part is the same with HM483Q Engine
Maintenance Manual for details)
Caution:
l Spark plug cap is easy to be torn
during removal of ignition coil and
plug cap. Be careful not to tear or
damage the cap during removal when
replacement is necessary.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove in order as shown in figure.
