Inspection and Repair
Repair or replace necessary parts if extreme wear or damage
is found during inspection.
Armature
Check for continuity between commutator and segment.
Replace commutator if there is no continuity (i.e.,
disconnected).



Check for continuity between commutator and shaft.
Also, check for continuity between commutator and armature
core, armature core and shaft. Replace commutator if there is
continuity (i.e., internally grounded).




Brush
Measure the length of brush.
Replace with a new one, if it is below the limit.
Brush Holder
Check for continuity between brush holder (+) (4) and base (-).
Replace, if there is continuity (i.e., insulation is broken).




Magnetic Switch
Check for continuity of shunt coil between terminals S and M.
Replace, if there is no continuity (i.e., coil is disconnected).




Continuity of Series Coil
Check for continuity between terminals S and M.
Replace, if there is no continuity (i.e., coil is disconnected).

Continuity of Contacts
With the plunger faced downward, push down the magnetic
switch. In this state, check for continuity between terminals B
and M. Replace, if there is no continuity (i.e., contacts are
faulty).




Pinion
Check if the pinion rotates smoothly in drive direction by hand,
or if it is locked when it is rotated in reverse. If not, replace the
pinion.




Characteristic Test
For easily confirming the characteristics, conduct the noload
test as follows:
Rating as short as 30 seconds requires rapid testing.
Fix the starter on the test bench, and wire as shown in
illustration. When the switch is closed, the current flows and
the starter runs under no load. At this time, measure current,
voltage and speed to check if they satisfy the standard.

Charging System
General Description
The charging system is an IC integral regulator charging
system and its main components are connected as shown in
illustration.
The regulator is a solid state type and it is mounted along with
the brush holder assembly inside the generator installed on the
rear end cover.
The generator does not require particular maintenance such as
voltage adjustment. The rectifier connected to the stator coil
has eight diodes to transform AC voltage into DC voltage.
This DC voltage is connected to the output terminal of
generator.

General On-Vehicle Inspection
The operating condition of charging system is indicated by the
charge warning lamp. The warning lamp comes on when the
starter switch is turned to "ON" position. The charging system
operates normally if the lamp goes off when the engine starts.
If the warning lamp shows abnormality or if undercharged or
overcharged battery condition is suspected, perform diagnosis
by checking the charging system as follows:
1. Check visually the belt and wiring connector.
2. With the engine stopped, turn the stator switch to "ON"
position and observe the warning lamp.
If lamp does not come on:
Disconnect wiring connector from generator, and ground
the terminal "L" on connector side.
If lamp comes on:
Repair or replace the generator.

The generator has four external connections; the "B+" lead to
battery positive, "L" lead to the warning lamp circuit(max. 2
watts), "S" lead to battery positive terminal for battery sensing
and an earth connection.

Warning
Do not reverse S and L connections as this will destroy the
warning lamp circuit of the regulator.
Ensure good electrical contact beween generator earth and
battery negative,

Operation
With the Iginiton switch turnded "ON", current is supplied via
the warning lamp to the "L" terminal of the regulator. Base
current is fed to T15 causing it to turn on, current then flows
from B+ through the rotor winding via the regulator brushes
and the collector emitter junction of T15 to earth completing
the circuit. The current in the rotor causes a magnetic field
between adjacent poles to be created, this field is rotated and
cuts the windings of the stator at right angles inducing a
voltage into them.
As the speed is increased this induced voltage increases and
results in curent being rectified in the 3 phase diode bridge and
supplied as DC to the B+ output and hence to the battery.
When the voltage at the B+ terminal of the battery reaches
around 14.2 volts, this voltage is monitored by the "S" lead and
turns the regulator Hybrid base current to T15 OFF removing
rotor current, resulting in a decrease in output voltage to below
the regulating voltage, T15 base current turns ON and the
whole cycle is repeated very rapidly.
D38 protects T15 and the regulator against the back voltage
developed across the rotor winding when T15 turns OFF.
The new generated EP regulators incorporate current limiting
in the warning lamp circuit.

Backup Regulation
The EP regulator will limit the output voltage to a safe level
should either the main B+ cable or the battery sense wire
become decoupled, the output voltage will be slightly above the
normal setting(1-3 volts).

Start up phase
When the Iginition switch is turned on and the engine is not
running, the current to the rotor is reduced by switching it on
and off at a 50% duty cycle, the frequency is approximately 4
KHz and may be audible at times.
This is quite normal, once the engine is started normal
regulation commences.

Warning lamp failure
Should the warning lamp fail, the generator will self excite by
deriving a small current from the phase connecion allowing the
voltage to build up to regulating level.
Note: no filed current will flow when the engine is cranking.

6D3-12 STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM
Diagnosis
The EP regulator incorporates diagnostics which will illuminate
the warning lamp as a result of fault conditions in the generator
and external circuitry.

These conditions include:
1.
An open circuit in the regulator battery sensing wire (S
Terninal)
2. An open circuit or excessive voltage drop in the B+ cable.
3. An open circuit in the generator phase connection.
4. Overcharging of the battery.
5. Regulator output stage short circuit.
6. Open circuit rotor.

The regulator compares the voltage at B+ with the voltage at
the "S" terminal connceted to battery positive. If the voltage
differential exceeds a predetermined threshold, the regulator
will operate in backup mode to limit the output voltage to a safe
level. The warning lamp; will remain illuminated as along as
these conditions prevail.
Sources of high resistance which will trigger the warning lamp
are:

a. Poor contact in wiring harness connectors.
b. Poor contact between rectifier and regulator.
c. High resistance in fusible link assembly.

Caution:
When bench testing the generator it is important that the
warning lamp wattage of 2 watts is not exceeded.
Reversal of the "S" and "L" on the regulator will damage
the regulator.
The correct plug for the regulator is a 9 122 067 011 for the
Bosch tye and for the Shinagawa connector the number is
X02FW.

See appendix 1 for daignostic matrix.
Before testing or disassembling the generator please observe
the following points.

1. When testing the diodes with AC type testers the RMS.
Vlotage output must not exceed 12.0 volts, it is
recommended that the stator should be disconnected
during this test.
2. Where zener power diodes are used, the breakdown
voltage should be tested to ensure all diodes have the
same zener voltage.
3. Insulation tests on the rotor and stator should use a voltage
not exceeding 110v for a series test lamp. The rectifie
r
must be disconnected from the stator prior to testing.
4. When carrying out repairs to the charging system always
disconnected the battery negative first, and reconnect i
t
last.
