CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
WARNING
EWA13290
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas 
and contain electrolyte which is made of poi-
sonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid. 
Therefore, always follow these preventive...

 No charging is necessary when the open-cir-
cuit voltage equals or exceeds 12.8 V.
b. Check the charge of the battery, as shown in  the charts and the following example.

5. Charge: Battery
(refer to the appropriate charging method)
WARNING
EWA13300
Do not quick charge a battery.
NOTICE
ECA13671
Do not use a high-rate battery charger 
since it forces a high-amperage current 
into the battery quickly and can cause bat-
tery...

TIP
Voltage should be measured 30 minutes after 
the engine is stopped.
b. Connect a charger and ammeter to the bat- tery and start charging.
TIP
Set the charging voltage to 16 –17 V. If the set-
ting is lower, charging will be insufficient. If too 
high, the battery will be over-charged.
c. Make sure that the current is higher than the 
standard charging current written on the bat-
tery.
TIP
If the current is lower than the standard charging 
current written on the...

CHECKING THE RELAYS
Check each switch for continuity with the pocket 
tester. If the continuity reading is incorrect, re-
place the relay.
1. Disconnect the relay from the wire harness.
2. Connect the pocket tester (  ×  1) and battery 
(12 V) to the relay terminal as shown.
Check the relay operation.
Out of specification   Replace.
