System Specifications
Charging Circuit Without LoadEngine speed at 2,000 rpm and check the reading on the ammeter and voltmeter.
Standard amperage 10 A or less
Standard voltage 12.1 to 15.4 V
HINT: If the battery is not fully charged, the ammeter reading will sometimes be more than the standard amperage.
Charging Circuit With Load
With the engine running at 2,000 rpm, turn the high beam headlights ON and turn the heater blower switch to the "HI" position.
Standard amperage 30 A or more
HINT: If the battery is fully charged, the indication will sometimes be less than the standard amperage. If this is the case, add more electrical load (operate the wipers, rear window defogger, etc.) and check the reading on the ammeter again.
