When the engine is not running or is being started, the battery provides power. When the engine is running, the alternator provides power for the vehicle’s loads and for recharging the battery. Analog Vs Digital Meters. Ultimately your diagnosis of vehicle electrical system problems will come down to using a voltmeter, ammeter, or ohmmeter to pinpoint the exact location of the problem. There are two types of each meter analog and digital.
Wire, terminal and connector repair. Conductors, conductors are needed to complete the path for electrical current to flow from the power source to the working devices and back to the power source. Automotive Batteries, General Battery functions, Engine off : battery energy is used to operate the lighting and accessory system. Engine starting : Battery energy is used to operate the starter motor and to provide current for the ignition system during cranking. Engine running : battery energy may be needed when the vehicle’s electrical load requirements exceed the supply from the charging system.

Honda Insight Mk1 Grid/Mains IMA Battery Charger
Installation of the charging socket.
Ensure ignition is off and IMA battery switch under the rear cover is in the off position for at least 10 minutes prior to installation. Note the RED switch lock tab has to be removed to allow the IMA battery switch to be moved.
Remove all the IPU compartment cover star drive and 10mm bolts.
Remove the small 8mm black bolt from IMA Main Battery switch area. This is located to the right of the switch when looking in from rear of the vehicle.
Remove the right hand side aluminium plate 10mm bolts behind the rear trim, and the 2 or 3 black plastic trim clips that push into the IPU cover through the plate. Remove the IPU cover.
Check the IMA battery main terminals with a 200V DC meter to ensure no voltage is present.
Remove the nut from the rear of the supplied charging socket and drill a hole through the aluminium of the IPU compartment to suit the threaded socket. Insert the socket and replace nut. Feed the wires to the IMA battery connection points avoiding sharp edges and other wires if possible, use tie wraps, cable clips or similar to avoid chaffing and maintain neatness.
Remove the polystyrene packing from the MDM module on the left hand side.
Remove the earth wire from the Battery to MDM by removing the 10mm painted red bolt on the MDM module and the plastic cable clip securing the orange earth wire. You need to move this wire to allow access for your hand between the IMA Battery and Motor Drive Module.
Remove the Negative terminal bolt and fit the supplied ring terminal under the bolt then retighten.
Note. You do not need to remove the IMA Battery to install the charging socket.
Remove the ž” spade connector from resistor as indicated below. You need a slim hand for this, and I suggest wear a rubber glove, keeping your other hand in your pocket. Note the black plastic spade connector has a pip/button which must be pushed in to release it from the connector. A screwdriver may also be necessary to help ease it off. Push the supplied ž” terminal onto the resistor and then push the black spade connector onto the piggy back connector.
