Component Description

Generator 

The generator is equipped with an internal voltage regulator and if equipped, the radial arm is serviceable separately.

Battery Current Sensor 

The battery current sensor is attached to the negative battery cable. It is supplied a 5-volt reference voltage and a ground from the BCM. The battery current sensor is a Hall-effect sensor that supplies a PWM feedback signal to the BCM.

Generator Current Sensor 

The generator current sensor is attached to the generator B+ cable. It is supplied a 5-volt reference voltage and a ground from the PCM. The generator current sensor is a Hall-effect sensor that supplies a analog feedback signal to the PCM.

Powertrain Control Module (PCM) 

The PCM receives input signals from sensors and other components (switches, relays). Based on this information, the PCM generates output signals to control various relays, solenoids and actuators.
