(3) Measure the resistance between terminal 30 and 87 of main relay.
(4) Measure the resistance between terminal 85 and 86 of main relay.
A. Specification : 70 - 120 Ohms









(5) Is the measured resistance within specification ?
YES
- Go to "Check generator" procedure.
NO
- Substitute with a known - good Main relay and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace Main relay and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

(1) IG "OFF".
(2) Check the tension of the belt.
(3) Check Battery terminal and generator B+ terminal for looseness, corrosion or damage.
(4) Engine "ON".
(5) Operate electric equipments (Head lamp, Hot wire, etc).
(6) accelerate engine to 2000 RPM and measure the battery voltage.
Specification : Approx. 12.5V ~ 14.5V
(7) Is the measured voltage within specification ?
YES
- Substitute with a known - good PCM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace PCM and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
NO
- Substitute with a known - good generator and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace generator and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
