Charging Circuit Troubleshooting
lf the charging system indicator does not come on or
does not go off, or the battery is dead or low, test these
items in the order listed below:
Battery (see page 22-50)
Charging system indicator
Alternator and regulator circuit
Alternator control system
Charging System Indicator Test
1. Turn the ignition switch ON {ll).
Does the chatging system indicator come on?

6. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (in Neutral) until the radiator fan comes on,
then let it idle.
7. Raise the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it
there.
8. Turn the headlights (high beam) on, and measure
voltage at the under-hood fuse/relay box terminal.
ls the voltage between 13.9 and 15.1 v?
YES-Go to step 9.
NO Repair or replace the alternator components
(see page 4-30).1
9. Read the amperage at '13.5 V.
NOTE: Adjust the voltage by turning the blower
motor, rear window defogger, brake lights. etc. ON.
ls the amperage 604 ot morc?
YES-Alternator/regulator operation is OK. I
NO Repair or replace the alternator components(see page 4-30).1

Alternator Control System Test
NOTE: After troubleshooting, perform the engine
control module (ECM) idle learn procedure (see page
11-139).
1 . Check for proper operation of the electrical load
detector (ELD) by checking the malfunction
indicator lamp (MlL) (see page 1 l-3). lf a DTC is
present, diagnose and repair the cause before
continuing with this test.
2. Disconnect the engine wire harness 6P connector
from the starter sub harness 6P connector.
3. Start the engine, and turn the headlights (high
beam) ON,
4. Measure voltage between the engine wire harness
6P connector terminal No. 2 and the positive
terminal of lhe battery.

ENGINE WIRE HARNESS 6P CONNECTOR
Wire side of female terminals
ls there 1 V or less?
YES Go to step 8.
NO-Go to step 5.
Turn the headlights and ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect ECM connector B (24P).

Drive Belt Inspection
Check that the auto-tensioner indicator (A) is within the
standard range (B) as shown. lf it is out of the standard
range, replace the drive belt (see page 4-26).

Drive Belt Replacement
1, Move the auto-tensioner (A) to relieve tension from
the drive belt (B). and remove the drive belt.
2. Installthe new belt in the reverse order of removal.

9. lf you are not replacing the front bearing and/or
rear bearing, go to step '16. Remove the rotor from
the stator drive end housing.
Inspect the rotor shaft for scoring, and inspect the
bearing journal surface in the stator housing for
setzure marks.
. lf eitherthe rotororstatorhousing isdamaged,
replace the alternator,. lf both the rotor and the stator housing are OK,
go to step 11.
'l 1. Remove the rear bearing using a puller as shown.

Rectitier Test
16. Check for continuity in each direction, between the
B terminal and P terminals, and between the E
terminal and P terminals of each diode pair.
All diodes should have continuity in only one
direction. Because the rectifier diodes are designed
to allow current to pass in one direction, and the
rectifier is made up of eight diodes (four pairs). you
musttest each diode in both directions for
continuity with an ohmmeter that has diode
checking capability: a total of 16 checks.
. lf any diode is faulty. replace the rectifier
assembly. {Diodes are not available separately.)' lf all the diodes are OK, go to step 17.

17. Measure the length of both brushes (A)with a
vernier caliper {B).
. lf either brush isshorterthanthe service limit,
replace the brush assembly.. lf brush length is OK, go to step '18.
Alternator Brush Length:
Standard (New): 10.5 mm (0.41 in.)
Service Limit: 1.5 mm (0.06 in.)
Rotor Slip Bing Test
18. Check that there is continuity between the slip rings
{A).
. lf there is continuity, go to step 19.. lf there is no continuity, replacethe alternator.
Check that there is no continuity between each slip
ring and the rotor (B) and the rotor shaft (C).
. lf there is no continuity, goto step 20.. lf there is continuity, replace the alternator.

wEc/wc
The i-WEC has a VTC (Variable Valve Timing Control) mechanism on the intake camshaft in addition to the usual
VTEC.
This mechanism improves fuel efficiency and reduces exhaust emissions at all Ievels of engine speed, vehicle speed.
and engine load.
The VTEC mechanism changes the valve lift and timing by using more than one cam profile.
The VTC changes the phase of the intake camshaft via oil pressure. lt changes the intake valve timing continuously.
