Detailed Flow

  1. PRELIMINARY INSPECTION 

    Perform the preliminary inspection. Refer to "INSPECTION PROCEDURE ".

    : GO TO 2.

  2. STOP POWER GENERATION VOLTAGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM 

    Stop the operation of the power generation voltage variable control in either of the following procedures.

    • After selecting "ENGINE" of "SELECT SYSTEM" using CONSULT, set the DUTY value of "ALTERNATOR DUTY" to 0 % by selecting "ALTERNATOR DUTY" of "Active Test". Continue "Active Test" until the end of inspection. (When the DUTY value is 0 or 100 %, the normal power generation is performed according to the characteristic of the IC regulator of the alternator.)
    • Turn the ignition switch OFF, and disconnect the battery current sensor connector. [However, DTC (P1550 - P1554) of the engine might remain. After finishing the inspection, connect the battery current sensor connector and erase the self-diagnostic results history of the engine using CONSULT.]

      : GO TO 3.

  3. INSPECTION WITH CHARGE WARNING LAMP (IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED ON) 

    When ignition switch is turned ON

    Does the charge warning lamp illuminate? 

    YES: GO TO 4.

  8. MEASURE "B" TERMINAL VOLTAGE 

    Start engine. With engine running at 2, 500 RPM, measure "B" terminal voltage.

    What voltage does the measurement result show? 

    Less than 13.0 V: GO TO 9.

    More than 16.0 V: Replace alternator. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".

  9. "B" TERMINAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION 

    Check "B" terminal circuit. Refer to "DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE ".
