GENERAL PROCEDURES
Belt Minder Deactivating/Activating
Preparation
1. Before deactivating/activating the belt minder, set the parking brake.
2. Place the gearshift in P (Park) (automatic transmission) or the neutral position (manual transmission).
3. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position.
4. Close all the vehicle doors.
5. Unbuckle the driver safety belt.
6. Place the parklamps/headlamps switch in the OFF position. (If the vehicle is equipped with Autolamps, this will not affect the procedure.)
Deactivating/Activating 1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position. (Do not start the engine.)
2. Wait until the safety belt warning lamp turns off. (approximately one to two minutes)
3. NOTE: Steps 3 through 5 must be completed within 60 seconds or the procedure must be
repeated.
Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times, ending with the safety belt unbuckled. This
portion of the procedure can be done before or during belt minder warning activation.
4. Turn the parklamps/headlamps on then off.
5. Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times ending with the safety belt unbuckled. After this step the safety belt warning lamp will be illuminated for three seconds.
6. Within seven seconds of the safety belt warning lamp turning off, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt. This will enable the belt minder if disabled or disable the belt minder if enabled.
7. The following sequence of events confirm the belt minder is enabled: zflashing of the safety belt warning belt lamp four times per second for three seconds
z three seconds with the safety belt lamp off
z flashing the safety belt lamp four times per second for three seconds again
8. The safety belt lamp flashing four times per second for three seconds provides confirmation that the belt minder is disabled. 9. After confirmation, the deactivation/activation procedure is complete. SECTION 413-

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Charging System
The charging system is a negative ground system consisting of the following:
zgenerator
z internal voltage regulator
z charging system warning indicator
z storage battery
z necessary wiring and cables
The generator is belt- driven by the engine accessory drive system.
With the ignition key in the run position, voltage is applied through the warning indicator I circuit to the
voltage regulator. This turns the regulator on, allowing current to flow from battery sense A circuit to
the generator field coil. When the engine is started, the generator begins to generate alternating
current (AC) which is converted to direct current (DC) internally. This current is then supplied to the
vehicle's electrical system through the output terminal (B+) of the generator.
Once the generator begins generating current, a voltage signal is taken from the generator stator and
fed back to the internal regulator. This voltage feedback signal (typically half the battery voltage) is
used to turn off the warning indicator.
With the system functioning normally, the generator output current is determined by the voltage of the
A circuit. This A circuit voltage (battery sense circuit) is compared to a set voltage internal to the
regulator, and the regulator controls the generator field current to maintain the correct generator
output.
The set voltage will vary with temperature and is typically higher in cold temperatures than in warm
temperatures. This allows for better battery recharge in the winter and reduces the chance of
overcharging in the summer.
The battery is a 12 volt direct current source connected in a negative ground system. The battery case
is sealed and includes two vent holes to release gases. The battery has three major functions:
zengine cranking power source
z voltage stabilizer for the electrical system
z temporary power when electrical loads exceed the generator output current
Circuit Description
Battery Output Terminal (B+)
The generator output is supplied through the battery positive output (B+) terminal on the back of the
generator to the battery and electrical system.
I Circuit 904 (LG/RD)
The I (ignition) circuit is used to turn on the voltage regulator. This circuit is powered up with the
ignition key in the run position. This circuit is also used to turn the charging system warning indicator
on if there is a fault in the charging system operation. SECTION 414-

Functionality
With the ignition switch in the RUN position, voltage is applied through the warning indicator I circuit
904 (LG/RD) to the voltage regulator. This turns the regulator on, allowing current to flow from battery
sense A circuit 36 (YE/WH) to the generator field coil. When the engine is started, the generator
begins to generate alternating current (AC) which is internally converted to direct current (DC). This
current is then supplied to the vehicle's electrical system through the output (B+) terminal of the
generator.
Once the generator begins generating current, a voltage signal is taken from the generator stator and
fed back to the regulator internally. This voltage feedback signal (typically half the battery voltage) is
used to turn off the warning indicator.
With the system functioning normally, the generator output current is determined by the voltage of the
A circuit. The A circuit voltage is compared to a set voltage internal to the regulator, and the regulator
controls the generator field current to maintain the correct generator output.
The set voltage will vary with temperature and is typically higher in cold temperatures and lower in
warm temperatures. This allows for better battery recharge in the winter and reduces the chance of
overcharging in the summer.
Battery Positive Output Circuit 38 (B+) (BK/OG)
The generator output is supplied through the battery positive output (B+) terminal on the back of the
generator to the battery and electrical system.
I Circuit 904 (LG/RD)
The I (ignition) circuit is used to turn on the voltage regulator. This circuit is powered up with the
ignition key in the run position. This circuit is also used to turn the charging system warning indicator
on if there is a fault in the charging system operation.
A Circuit 36 (YE/WH)
The A circuit or battery sense circuit is used to sense battery voltage. This voltage is used by the
regulator to determine generator output. This circuit is used to supply current to the generator field
(rotor). The amount of current supplied to the rotor will determine generator output.
Inspection and Verification
WARNING: Batteries contain sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
Also, shield your eyes when working near batteries to protect against possible splashing of the
acid solution. In case of acid contact with skin or eyes, flush immediately with water for a
minimum of 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. If acid is swallowed, call a physician
immediately.
WARNING: Batteries normally produce explosive gases which can cause personal injury.
Therefore, do not allow flames, sparks or lighted substances to come near the battery. When
charging or working near a battery, always shield your face and protect your eyes. Always Connector C102a End View

provide ventilation.
WARNING: When lifting a plastic- cased battery, excessive pressure on the end walls
could cause acid to spew through the vent caps resulting in personal injury, damage to the
vehicle or to the battery. Lift with a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite corners.
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the engine to duplicate the concern.
2. Inspect the charging system (battery, generator cable, harness connectors, connections) to determine if any obvious mechanical or electrical concerns exist. If found, repair as necessary
and test the system for normal operation. Refer to the following tables:
3. Check the operation of the charging system warning indicator lamp (instrument cluster). Normal operation is as follows:
zWith the ignition switch OFF, the charging system warning indicator should be OFF.
z With the ignition switch in RUN and the engine off, the charging system warning indicator
light should be on.
z With the engine running, the charging system warning indicator light should be off.
4. Verify the battery is being charged. Carry out the Battery— Load Test. Refer to Component
Tests in this section.
5. If the customer concern is verified after the initial inspection, refer to the Symptom Chart to determine which tests to carry out.
