    CHECK AUXILIARY BATTERY


    1. Check that the auxiliary battery cables are connected to the correct terminals.

      Tip:

      If they are not, connect them properly.

    2. Check the auxiliary battery for damage and deformation. If severe damage, deformation or leakage is found, replace the auxiliary battery.

    CHECK AUXILIARY BATTERY VOLTAGE


    1. Turn the power switch off and turn on the high beam headlights for 30 seconds. This will remove the surface charge from the auxiliary battery.

    2. Measure the auxiliary battery voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Result
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Result
      Positive (+) terminal - Negative (-) terminal 20°C (68°F), Power switch off 12.5 V or higher Auxiliary battery is OK
      11.0 to 12.5 V Recharge auxiliary battery
      Below 11.0 V Replace auxiliary battery

    RECHARGE AUXILIARY BATTERY


    1. Recharge the auxiliary battery.

      Tip:

      • Recharge the auxiliary battery according to the charger's instructions.

      • Apply the appropriate charging current according to the type of auxiliary battery as shown in the table below.

      Auxiliary Battery Type Charging Current
      S34B20R 3 to 4 A
      S46B24R 4 to 5 A

    2. Turn the power switch off and turn on the high beam headlights for 30 seconds. This will remove the surface charge from the auxiliary battery.

    3. Measure the auxiliary battery voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Result
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Result
      Positive (+) terminal - Negative (-) terminal 20°C (68°F), Power switch off 12.5 V or higher Auxiliary battery is OK
      11.0 to 12.5 V Recharge auxiliary battery
      Below 11.5 V Replace auxiliary battery

    CHECK AUXILIARY BATTERY TERMINAL, FUSIBLE LINK AND FUSE


    1. Check that the auxiliary battery terminals are not loose or corroded.

      Tip:

      If the terminals are corroded, clean them.

    2. Measure the resistance of each fusible link and fuse for the auxiliary battery charging system.

      Standard resistance
      Below 1 Ω
      Tip:

      If any of the results is not as specified, replace the fusible link or fuse as necessary.

    CHECK AMD TERMINAL

    CAUTION:

    Be sure to wear insulated gloves.


    1. Check that the service plug grip is not installed.

      Note:

      After removing the service plug grip, do not turn the power switch on (READY), unless instructed by the repair manual because this may cause a malfunction.

    2. Check that the AMD terminal is connected securely, and there is no contact problem.

      Tip:

      If there are any arc marks, replace the affected parts.

    3. Check that the nuts for the AMD terminal is tightened to the specified torque.

      Tip:

      If there are no arc marks and the AMD terminal connection is faulty, connect the AMD terminal securely.

    4. Install the service plug grip.

    CHECK DC/DC CONVERTER FUNCTION


    1. A003ZTAE02

      Connect the AC/DC 400 A probe to the positive auxiliary battery cable.

    2. Turn the power switch on (READY) and leave the vehicle as it is until the electric current flowing into the auxiliary battery becomes 10 A or less.

    3. Turn the power switch on (READY) and the headlight position switch and blower motor switch in the HI position, and the rear window defogger turned on.

    4. A003YIFE02

      Measure the current and voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Result
      Item Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      Current flowing from auxiliary battery Auxiliary battery positive cable

      Power switch on (READY)

      (The headlight position switch and blower motor switch are in the HI position, and the rear window defogger is turned on.)

      0 A or less

      (no current from auxiliary battery)
      Auxiliary battery voltage Positive (+) terminal - Negative (-) terminal 13 to 15 V
      Tip:

      If the values are not as specified, replace the inverter with converter assembly.
