YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Repair “B” terminal connection. Confirm repair by performing complete Starting/Charging system test. Refer to Technical Service Bulletin.
2.CHECK “B” TERMINAL CIRCUIT
Check voltage between alternator “B” terminal and ground.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Check harness for open between alternator and fusible link.
3.CHECK “B” TERMINAL CONNECT ION (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
1. Start engine, then engine running at idle and warm.
2. Check voltage between battery positive terminal and alternator “B” terminal.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> “B” terminal circuit is normal. Refer to CHG-13, "Work Flow".
NO >> Check harness between battery and alternator for poor continuity.

L TERMINAL CIRCUIT (OPEN)
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006274870
The “L” terminal circuit controls the charge warning lamp. The charge warning lamp illuminates when the igni-
tion switch is set to ON or START. When the alternat or is providing sufficient voltage with the engine running,
the charge warning lamp will go off. If the charge warn ing lamp illuminates with the engine running, a malfunc-
tion is indicated.

1.CHECK “L” TERMINAL CONNECTION
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Check that “L” terminal is clean and tight.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Repair “L” terminal connection. Confirm repair by performing complete Starting/Charging system test. Refer to Technical Service Bulletin.
2.CHECK “L” TERMIN AL CIRCUIT (OPEN)
1. Disconnect alternator connector.
2. Apply ground to alternator harness connector terminal.
3. Check condition of the charge warning lamp with the ignition switch in the ON position.
Does it illuminate?
YES >> “L” terminal circuit is normal. Refer to CHG-13, "Work Flow".
NO >> GO TO 3.
3.CHECK HARNESS CONTI NUITY (OPEN CIRCUIT)
1. Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
2. Disconnect the combination meter connector.
3. Check continuity between alternator harness connector and combination meter harness connector.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Repair the harness or connector.
4.CHECK HARNESS CONTI NUITY (OPEN CIRCUIT)
Check continuity between combination me ter harness connector and fuse block (J/B).
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Repair the harness or connector.

S TERMINAL CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006274874
The output voltage of the alternator is controlled by t
he IC voltage regulator at the “S” terminal detecting the
input voltage.
The “S” terminal circuit detects the battery voltage to adjust the alternator output voltage with the IC voltage
regulator.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000006274875
1.CHECK “S” TERMINAL CONNECTION
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Check if “S” terminal is clean and tight.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Repair “S” terminal connection. Confirm repair by performing complete Starting/Charging system test. Refer to Technical Service Bulletin.
2.CHECK “S” TERMINAL CIRCUIT
Check voltage between alternator harness connector and ground.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Refer to CHG-13, "Work Flow".
NO >> Check harness for open between alternator and fuse.

INSTALLATION
Note the following items, and then install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
 Be careful to tighten “B” terminal nut carefully.
 Install alternator, and check tension of belt. Refer to EM-20, "
Checking".
 For this model, the power genera tion voltage variable control system that controls the power gener-
ation voltage of the alternator has been adopted. Therefore, the power generation voltage variable
control system operation inspectio n should be performed after replacing the alternator, and then
make sure that the system operates normally. Refer to CHG-17, "
Inspection Procedure".
 When installing alternator br acket, tighten mounting bolts in
numerical order as shown in the figure.
