S TERMINAL CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776554
The output voltage of the generator is controlled by the IC
regulator at terminal “3” (S) detecting the input volt-
age. Terminal “3” circuit detects the battery voltage to adjust the generator output voltage with the IC regulator.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003776555
1.CHECK VOLTAGE REGULATOR CIRCUIT CONNECTION
Check to see if connector E205 terminal 3 is clean and tight.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Repair terminal connection. Confirm repair by performing complete Starting/Charging system test.
Refer to diagnostic station instruction manual.
2.CHECK VOLTAGE REGULATOR CIRCUIT
Check voltage between generator harness connector E205 terminal
3 and ground.
Does battery voltage exist?
YES >> Refer to CHG-5, "Work Flow".
NO >> Check harness for open between generator and fuse. 3 - ground

P1550 BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR
P1550 BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR
Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000003771605
The power generation voltage variable control enables fuel con-
sumption to be decreased by reducing the engine load which is
caused by the power generation of the generator. The battery cur-
rent sensor (1) is installed to the battery cable at the negative termi-
nal. The sensor measures the charging/discharging current of the
battery. Based on the sensor signal, ECM judges whether or not the
power generation voltage variable control is performed. When per-
forming the power generation voltage variable control, ECM calcu-
lates the target power generation voltage based on the sensor
signal. And ECM sends the calculated value as the power genera-
tion command value to IPDM E/R. For the details of the power gen-
eration voltage variable control, refer to
CHG-7, "System
Description".
: Vehicle front
CAUTION:
Do not connect the electrical compon ent or the ground wire directly to the battery terminal. The con-
nection causes the malfunction of th e power generation voltage variable control, and then the battery
discharge may occur.

DTC Confirmation ProcedureINFOID:0000000003771607
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following before conduct-
ing the next step.
1. Turn ignition swich OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
2. Turn ignition swich ON.
3. Turn ignition swich OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
TESTING CONDITION:
Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 8V at idle.
1. Start engine and wait at least 10 seconds.
2. Check 1st trip DTC.
3. If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to EC-308, "Diagnosis Procedure"
.
