1. Remember that violations of functioning of system of a charge far are not necessarily connected with failures of the generator. First of all always make the following elementary checks:

a) Check a condition and effort of a tension of a driving belt of the generator (see. Head of Control and routine maintenance). In case of need make replacement;
b) Check reliability of a tightening of fixing bolts of the generator;
c) Check a condition of electroconducting and electric connections of the generator;
d) At the corresponding complete set check a condition of the fusible insert established between the traction relay of a starter and the generator, or a condition of big main safety locks in an impellent compartment. In case of identification of the beaten-out elements, reveal and eliminate the reason of taking place overloads, then replace defective components;
e) Check a condition of all safety locks included in an electric chain of system of a charge. Location of safety locks and fusible inserts can vary depending on model and year of release of the car (see. Head Onboard electric equipment);
f) Start the engine and estimate intensity of a noise background published by the generator;
g) Check electrolit density in banks of the storage battery, in case of need make additional charge of the last;
h) Make sure of completeness of a charge of the battery, - one faulty bank can be at the bottom of a battery recharge);
i) Disconnect from the battery at first negative, then positive wires.

If the stereosystem established on the car is equipped with a security code before disconnecting the battery make sure that have the correct combination for audiosystem input in action! Estimate a condition of wires of the battery in places of their connection them to polar plugs of the last. Check reliability of fastening of terminal clips. Having carefully smoothed out contact plugs, connect the battery.

2. Execute checks of serviceability of functioning of the generator and a tension regulator (see. Section Check of serviceability of functioning, removal and generator installation).
