Inspection ProcedureINFOID:0000000003776549
CAUTION:
When performing this inspection, always use a charged battery that has completed the battery inspec-
tion. (When the charging rate of the battery is low, the response speed of the voltage change will
become slow. This can cause an incorrect inspection.)
1.CHECK ECM (CONSULT-III)
Perform ECM self-diagnosis with CONSULT-III. Refer to EC-63, "
CONSULT-III Function (ENGINE)".
Self
-diagnostic results content
No malfunction detected>> GO TO 2.
Malfunction detected>> Check applicable parts, and repair or replace corresponding parts.
2.CHECK OPERATION OF POWER GENERATION VOLTAGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM
1. Connect CONSULT-III and start the engine.
2. The selector lever is in “P” or “N” position and a ll of the electric loads and A/C, etc. are turned OFF.

VOLT” monitor when DUTY value of “ALTERNATOR DUTY” is set to 40.0 %.
4. Check the value of “BATTERY VOLT” monitor when DUTY value of “ALTERNATOR DUTY” is set to 80.0%.
Is the measurement val ue within specification?
YES >> Inspection End.
NO >> GO TO 3.
3.CHECK IPDM E/R (CONSULT-III)
Perform IPDM E/R self-diagnosis with CONSULT-III. Refer to PCS-14, "
CONSULT - III Function (IPDM E/R)".
Self
-diagnostic results content
No malfunction detected>> GO TO 4.
Malfunction detected>> Check applicable parts, and repair or replace corresponding parts.
4.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN GE NERATOR AND IPDM E/R
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect generator connector E205 and IPDM E/R connector E122.
3. Check continuity between generator harness connector E205 (A) terminal 4 and IPDM E/R harness connector E122 (B) termi-
nal 37. “BATTERY VOLT”
2 seconds after setting the
DUTY value of “ALTERNA-
TOR DUTY” to 40.0 %

20 seconds after setting
the DUTY value of “ALTER-
NATOR DUTY” to 80.0 % : +0.5 V or more against
the value of “BATTERY

DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776550
The terminal “1” circuit supplies power to charge the battery and operate the vehicles electrical system.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003776551
1.CHECK TERMINAL “1” CONNECTION
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Verify terminal “1” is clean and tight.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Repair terminal “1” connection. Confirm repa ir by performing complete Starting/Charging system
test. Refer to diagnostic station instruction manual.
2.CHECK TERMINAL “1” CIRCUIT
Check voltage between generator connector E204 terminal 1 and
ground.
Is voltage reading as specified?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Check harness for open between generator and fusible link.
3.CHECK TERMINAL “1” CONNECTION (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
1. Start engine, then engine running at idle and warm.
2. Check voltage between battery positive terminal and generator connector E204 terminal 1.

L TERMINAL CIRCUIT
L TERMINAL CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776552
The terminal “2” (L) circuit controls the charge warning lamp. The charge warning lamp illuminates when the
ignition switch is set to ON or START. When the generator is providing sufficient voltage with the engine run-
ning, the charge warning lamp will go off. If the c harge warning lamp illuminates with the engine running, a
malfunction is indicated.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003776553
1.CHECK CHARGE WARNING LAMP CIRCUIT CONNECTION
Verify generator connector E205 terminal 2 is clean and tight.
Is the connection secure?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Repair the connection. Confirm repair by per forming complete Starting/Charging system test.
Refer to diagnostic station instruction manual.
2.CHECK CHARGE WARNING LAMP CIRCUIT
1. Disconnect generator connector E205.
2. Apply ground to generator harness connector E205 terminal 2 with the ignition switch in the ON position.
Does the charge lamp illuminate?
YES >> Check generator function. Refer to CHG-5, "Work Flow".
NO >> GO TO 3.
3.CHECK HARNESS CONTINUITY
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the generator connector E205 and combination meter connector M24.
3. Check continuity between generator harness connector E205 (A) terminal 2 and combination meter harness connector M24
(B) terminal 6.
4. Check continuity between generator harness connector E205 (A) terminal 2 and ground.
Are the continuity results as specified?
YES >> Replace the combination meter. Refer to MWI-102, "Removal and Installation".
