CHARGING SYSTEM PFP:00011
System Description NKS003NN
DESCRIPTION
The alternator provides DC voltage to operate the vehicle's electrical system and to keep the battery charged.
The voltage output is controlled by the IC regulator.
Power is supplied at all times
through 10A fuse [No. 36, located in the fuse, fusible link and relay block (J/B)]
to alternator terminal 4 (“S” terminal).
“B” terminal supplies power to charge the battery and operate the vehicle's electrical system. Output voltage is
controlled by the IC regulator at terminal 4 (“S” terminal) detecting the input voltage.
The alternator is grounded to the engine block.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
through 10A fuse [No. 14, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to combination meter terminal 12 for the charge warning lamp.
Ground is supplied at signal
to combination meter terminal 22
through alternator terminal 3 (“L” terminal).
Then power and ground are supplied, the charge warning lamp will illuminate.
When the alternator is providing sufficient voltage with the engine running, the ground is opened and the
charge warning lamp will go off.
If the charge warning lamp illuminates with the engine running, a malfunction is indicated.
Ground is supplied
to alternator terminal 2 (“E” terminal)
through grounds E222, E223 and E224. (VQ35DE)
through ground E212. (VK45DE)
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR
The IC regulator warning function activates to illuminate the charge warning lamp, if any of the following symp-
toms occur while alternator is operating:
Excessive voltage is produced.
No voltage is produced.

POWER GENERATION VOLTAGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM
Power generation voltage variable control system that controls the power generation voltage of the alternator
has been adopted. By performing the power generation voltage variable control, the engine load due to the
power generation of the alternator is reduced and fuel consumption is decreased.
Operation Description
The battery current sensor detects the charging/discharging current of the battery. ECM judges the battery
condition based on this signal.
ECM judges whether to perform the power generation voltage variable control according to the battery
condition.
When performing the power generation voltage variable control, ECM calculates the target power genera-
tion voltage according to the battery condition and sends the calculated value as the power generation
command value to IPDM E/R.
IPDM E/R converts the received power generation command value into the power generation command
signal (PWM signal) and sends it to the IC regulator.
The IC regulator controls the power generation voltage by the target power generation voltage based on
the received power generation command signal.
When there is no power generation command signal, the alternator performs the normal power generation
according to the characteristic of the IC regulator.
NOTE:
When any malfunction is detected in the power generation voltage variable control system, the power genera-
tion is performed according to the characteristic of the IC regulator of the alternator.
Main Component Part
BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR
Battery current sensor (1) is installed to the battery cable at the
negative terminal, and it detects the charging/discharging cur-
rent of the battery and sends the voltage signal to ECM accord-
ing to the current value.

Trouble Diagnoses with Battery/Starting/Charging System Tester (Charging)NKS003NP
NOTE:
To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter and alternator test segments must be done
as a set from start to finish.
Before starting, perform the preliminary inspection. Refer to SC-32, "
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION" .
1. Stop the operation of the power generation voltage variable control in either of the following procedures.
After selecting “ENGINE” of “SELECT SYSTEM” using CONSULT-II, set the DUTY value of “ALTERNA-
TOR 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 per-
formed 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-II.]
2. Turn off all loads on the vehicle electrical system.
3. Perform battery and starting system test with Battery/Starting/
Charging system tester.
4. Press “ENTER” to begin the charging system test.
5. Start engine.
6. Press “ENTER” until “LOADS OFF REV ENGINE 5 SEC” is dis-
played.
7. Raise and hold the engine speed at 1,500 to 2,000 rpm for about
5 seconds, then return the engine to idle.
Once the increase in engine rpm is detected, press “ENTER” to
continue.
NOTE:
If after 30 seconds an increase in engine idle speed is not
detected, “RPM NOT DETECTED” will display.
Some engines may have a higher idle initially after starting,
particularly when the engine is cold. The tester may detect
this without any other action being taken. If this occurs, con-
tinue on with the testing process. The final results will not be affected.
8. The tester now checks the engine at idle and performs the
DIODE/RIPPLE check.
9. When complete, the tester will prompt you to turn on the follow-
ing electrical loads.
Heater fan set to highest speed. Do not run the A/C or wind-
shield defroster.

NOTE:
Do not run the windshield wipers or any other cyclical loads.

10. Press “ENTER” to continue.
11. Raise and hold the engine speed at 1,500 to 2,000 rpm for about
5 seconds, then return the engine to idle. Once the increase in
engine rpm is detected, press “ENTER” to continue.
NOTE:
If after 30 seconds an increase in engine idle speed is not
detected, “RPM NOT DETECTED” will be displayed. Press
“ENTER” to restart the test.
12. Diagnostic result is displayed on the tester. Refer to SC-30,
"DIAGNOSTIC RESULT ITEM CHART" .
13. Press “ENTER” then test output code is displayed. Record the
test output code on the repair order.
14. Toggle back to the “DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN” for test results.
