| 1. Check a condition and a tension of a belt of the generator. At detection of signs of wear a belt replace. |
| 2. Check an inhaling of bolts of fastening of the generator and an adjusting bolt of a tension of a belt. |
| 3. Check conducting of the generator and a tension regulator, reliability of fastening and a condition of sockets. |
| 4. Check safety locks. |
| 5. Start the engine and check a sound published by the generator (the howling or squealing sound indicates wear of bearings or a belt proskalzyvaniye). |
| 6. Check electrolit density in the battery. If density low, charge the battery (this point does not belong to unattended batteries). |
| 7. Check degree of a charge of the battery (at faulty section of the battery its recharge is possible). |
| 8. Disconnect cables from the battery and check a condition of plugs and poles. |
| 9. Check existence of short circuit, having disconnected a cable from (-) – poles and having included between a pole and a cable a lamp. If the lamp lights up, in a chain of the car there is a short circuit. |
| 10. Disconnect from the wire generator. If the lamp goes out, replace the generator. Otherwise establish a chain, consistently deleting safety locks to a lamp pogasaniye. |
| 11. Check tension on the battery on the idle engine which about 12 Century should be. |
| 12. Start the engine and again check tension which should be now from 14–15 Century. |
| 13. Include a driving beam of headlights. At normal work of system of a charge tension should fall and again increase. |
| 14. If tension is higher than normal tension of a charge, replace a tension regulator (see subsection 3.3.7.4). If tension is lower normal, the rectifier, a regulator or the generator are faulty. |
| 15. If short circuit is absent, but the battery all the time is discharged, the reasons are malfunction of the battery, the rectifier, a regulator, the generator (brushes, the rectifier, rotor or stator windings) or a weak tension of a belt of the generator. The generator is not subject to independent repair. |
