3.3.7.2. Check of system of a charge of the battery

PERFORMANCE ORDER
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.
