2. Insufficient level of the electrolyte or deeply discharged battery (Head of Adjustment and routine maintenance).
3. There is a corroded battery terminals or loose mounting on them of tips of wires (Head of Adjustment and routine maintenance).
4. The generator does not provide the required charging current (Head System of an electric motor).
5. Torn off or otherwise damaged wiring or the charging circuit is loose wire on the terminals (Chapter electrical system of the engine).
6. Short-circuiting the wiring poses a constant leakage current generated by the battery weight (see chap. System board electrical equipment and wiring diagrams - general information).
7. There is an internal defect in the batteries.

The warning lamp does not go off the ignition

1. There is a fault or generator charging circuit (Head System of an onboard electric equipment).
2. Damaged or worn generator drive belt is broken or adjustment of its tension (Head of Adjustment and routine maintenance).

The warning lamp does not illuminate when the ignition ignition key is turned to ON (ignition on)

1. Burned or otherwise out of service indicator light in the instrument cluster unit (Head System of an onboard electric equipment).
