[. . . ] 10 The suppressor can be unbolted from the mounting bracket, if required; note that the coil and bracket are only available as a single unit. 11 Refitting is the reverse of the removal 8. 3 Service connector (A) mounted on engine compartment bulkhead is fitted with “plug-in bridge” (B) to set engine to use (unleaded) petrol of 95 RON octane rating 9. 4 Location of crankshaft speed/position sensor - connector arrowed - in front of cylinder block/crankcase Engine electrical systems 5•5 5 Undo the sensor’s retaining screw and withdraw the sensor. The sensor’s bracket cannot be unbolted from the cylinder block/crankcase unless the transmission and flywheel/driveplate have been removed (see Chapter 2). (h) Never disconnect the alternator terminals while the engine is running. 11 Charging system - testing 1 If a malfunction occurs in the charging circuit, don’t automatically assume that the alternator is causing the problem. First check the following items: (a) Check the tension and condition of the auxiliary drivebelt - renew it if it is worn or deteriorated (see Chapter 1). (c) Inspect the alternator wiring harness and the electrical connections at the alternator; they must be in good condition, and tight. (d) Check the large main fuses in the engine compartment (see Chapter 12). If any is blown, determine the cause, repair the circuit and renew the fuse (the vehicle won’t start and/or the accessories won’t work if the fuse is blown). (e) Start the engine and check the alternator for abnormal noises - for example, a shrieking or squealing sound may indicate a badly-worn bearing or brush. (f) Make sure that the battery is fully-charged - one bad cell in a battery can cause overcharging by the alternator. (h) With the ignition and all accessories switched off, insert a test light between the battery negative post and the disconnected negative lead clamp: (1) If the test light does not come on, reattach the clamp and proceed to the next step. (2) If the test light comes on, there is a short in the electrical system of the vehicle. (3) To find the short, disconnect the alternator wiring harness: (a) If the light goes out, the alternator is at fault. (b) If the light stays on, remove each fuse until it goes out - this will tell you which component is short-circuited. Increase engine speed until the voltmeter reading remains steady; it should now be approximately 13. 5 to 14. 6 volts. 4 Switch on as many electrical accessories (eg the headlights, heated rear window and 10 Charging system - general information and precautions General information The charging system includes the alternator, an internal voltage regulator, a nocharge (or “ignition”) warning light, the battery, and the wiring between all the components. The charging system supplies electrical power for the ignition system, the lights, the radio, etc. The alternator is driven by the auxiliary drivebelt at the front (righthand end) of the engine. The purpose of the voltage regulator is to limit the alternator’s voltage to a preset value. This prevents power surges, circuit overloads, etc. , during peak voltage output. The charging system doesn’t ordinarily require periodic maintenance. However, the drivebelt, battery and wires and connections should be inspected at the intervals outlined in Chapter 1. [. . . ] Toe-out The amount the front wheels are closer together at the rear than at the front. On front wheel drive vehicles, a slight amount of toe-out is usually specified. Tools For full information on choosing and using tools, refer to the Haynes Automotive Tools Manual. Tracer A stripe of a second colour applied to a wire insulator to distinguish that wire from another one with the same colour insulator. [. . . ]
