Charging System - Generators & Regulators: Description

System consists of generator, regulator, battery, fuses and associated wiring. On models with 2.0L Zetec engine, system also uses a PCM. Generators have an integral voltage regulator. Voltage regulator incorporates temperature compensation circuitry, so battery charging voltage is maintained at the optimum level. Charge rate is 13-15 volts.

Warning indicator should illuminate with key on, engine off. Warning indicator should not illuminate with ignition off, or with engine running.
