Charging system — check (Nissan Sunny B13)

1. If the battery charge indicator lamp on the instrument panel does not light when the ignition is on, first check the lamp circuit.

2. If no defects are found, then the generator is faulty, which in this case should be sent for repair or replaced.

3. If the indicator light comes on with the engine running, check the belt tension and the generator mount.

4. If no defects are found, then send the generator in for repair.

5. If there are signs of a fault in the charging circuit with the indicator lamp lit, check the voltage regulator as follows.

6. Connect a voltmeter to the battery.

7. Bring the engine speed up to a point where the generator voltage is 13–14 V.

8. Enable all consumers (headlights, glass heater, etc.) and check the voltage, which should still be 13-14 V.

9. If the voltage is different, the generator is faulty and should be sent for repair.
