DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION VEHICLE ALARM SYSTEM BUILT-IN TEST
NOTE: The handset should be detached
from the key to allow perimetric testing of
the alarm system. The system will
automatically switch to volumetric testing if the
handset is in close proximity to the starter switch.
The built-in test procedure can be accessed providing
the following conditions exist:
Alarm disarmed.
Ignition off.
Doors unlocked.
Bonnet closed.
With assistance, the test mode can be entered by
completing the following instructions within 5 seconds:
1.Open bonnet.
2.Turn starter switch on.
3.Open drivers door (far enough to activate door
switch).
4.Turn starter switch off.
5.Turn starter switch on.
If the test mode has been correctly accessed, the
alarm sounder/horn will operate briefly and the
anti-theft alarm indicator and direction indicator lamps
will flash.
Perimetric tests
The anti-theft alarm indicator light and direction
indicator lamps will flash when:
1.Door switches are activated.
2.The bonnet is opened.
3.Key switches are activated.Volumetric tests
Press the LH (unlock) button or move the handset
close to the starter switch to disable perimetric testing
and enable volumetric testing. If movement is
detected within the vehicle by the ultrasonic sensor
the anti-theft alarm indicator and direction indicator
lamps will illuminate.
NOTE: Exit the anti-theft alarm built-in test
by turning the starter switch to the off
position.
If the previously described conditions are not achieved
during the built-in test procedure, this would indicate a
fault in the alarm system. Before undertaking detailed
fault diagnosis procedures, first make visual checks of
components such as a faulty door switch or blown
alarm system fuse.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS GENERAL INFORMATION
Detailed information of electrical systems, component
locations and circuit diagrams are covered in the
Defender Electrical Troubleshooting Manual.
This section covers checks of the charging system.
GENERATOR TESTING
Service repair no - 86.10.01
Charging system check
1.Check battery is in good condition, with an open
circuit voltage of at least 12.6 V. Recharge or
substitute battery to carry out test.
2.Check drive belt condition
See SECTION 10,
Maintenance, Under bonnet maintenance.
3.Check battery connections are clean and tight.
4.Check generator connections are clean and
tight.
5.Ensure there is no drain on battery from, for
example, interior or exteriorlamps.
Generator test
Following instructions refer to use of suitable test
equipment using a carbon pile rheostat.
6.Connect test equipment referring to
manufacturers instructions.
7.Start engine and run at 3000 rev/min without
accessory load.
8.Rotate carbon pile load control to achieve
greatest output (amps) without allowing voltage
to fall below 12.0 V. A reading in amps, of
generator output should be obtained.
9.Run engine at 3000 rev/min, switch selector to
regulator test, read voltmeter. A reading of 13.6
to 14.4 V should be obtained.
10.Switch selector to diode/stator test, switch on
headlamps to load generator. Raise engine
speed to 3000 rev/min, read voltmeter, needle
must be within OK range.TESTING IN POSITION
Charging circuit resistance test.
1.Connect a low range voltmeter between
generator terminal marked B+ and positive
terminal of battery.
2.Switch on headlamps, start engine. Run engine
at approximately 3000 rev/min. Note voltmeter
reading.
3.Transfer voltmeter connections to frame of
generator and negative terminal of battery, and
again note voltmeter reading.
4.If reading exceeds 0.5 volt on positive side or
0.25 volt on negative side, there is a high
resistance in charging circuit which must be
traced and remedied.

REPAIR ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS
The following guidelines are intended to ensure the
safety of the operator whilst preventing damage to
electrical and electronic components fitted to the
vehicle.
Polarity
Never reverse connect the vehicle battery and always
observe the correct polarity when connecting test
equipment.
High voltage circuits
WARNING: Before commencing work on
an ignition system, all high tension
terminals, adaptors and diagnostic
equipment for testing should be inspected to
ensure that they are adequately insulated and
shielded to prevent accidental personal contacts
and minimize the risk of shock. Wearers of
surgically implanted pacemaker devices should
not be in close proximity to ignition circuits or
diagnostic equipment.
Whenever disconnecting live high tension circuits
always use insulated pliers and never allow the open
end of a high tension lead to come into contact with
other components particularly electronic control units.
Exercise caution when measuring the voltage on the
coil terminals while the engine is running, since, high
voltage spikes can occur on these terminals.
Connectors and harness
Always ensure that these items are dry and oil free
before disconnecting and connecting test equipment.
Never force connectors apart either by using tools or
by pulling on the wiring harness. Always ensure
locking tabs are disengaged before removal and note
orientation to enable correct reconnection. Ensure that
any protective covers and substances are replaced if
disturbed. Having confirmed a component to be faulty
switch-off the ignition and disconnect the battery.
Remove the component and support the disconnected
harness. When replacing the component keep oily
hands away from electrical connection areas and
push connectors home until any locking tabs fully
engage.Battery disconnecting
Before disconnecting the battery, switch off all
electrical equipment.
Battery charging
Recharge the battery out of the vehicle and keep the
top well ventilated. While being charged or
discharged, and for approximately 15 minutes
afterwards, batteries emit hydrogen gas which is
flammable. Always ensure any battery charging area
is well ventilated and that every precaution is taken to
avoid naked flames and sparks.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Switch-off ignition prior to making any connection or
disconnection in the system as electrical surge
caused by disconnecting live connections can
damage electronic components.
Ensure hands and work surfaces are clean and free of
grease, swarf, etc. as grease collects dirt which can
cause tracking or high-resistance contacts.
When handling printed circuit boards, treat them as
you would a disc - hold by the edges only.
Prior to commencing a test, and periodically during a
test, touch a good earth, for instance, a cigar lighter
socket, to discharge body static as some electronic
components are vulnerable to static electricity.
