CHARGING SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATIONM1161000100522
The charging system uses the alternator output to
keep the battery charged at a constant level under
various electrical loads.
OPERATION
Rotation of the excited field coil generates AC
voltage in the stator.
This alternating current is rectified through diodes to
DC voltage having a waveform shown in the
illustration.The average output voltage fluctuates slightly with
the alternator load condition.
When the ignition switch is turned on, current flows in
the field coil and initial excitation of the field coil
occurs.
When the stator coil begins to generate power after
the engine is started, the field coil is excited by the
output current of the stator coil.
The alternator output voltage rises as the field
current increases and it falls as the field current
decreases. When the battery voltage (alternator "S"
terminal voltage) reaches a regulated voltage of
approximately 14.4 V, the field current is cut off.
When the battery voltage drops below the regulated
voltage, the voltage regulator regulates the output
voltage to a constant level by controlling the field
current.
In addition, when the field current is constant, the
alternator output voltage rises as the engine speed
increases.

position.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
4. Connect a clamp-type DC test ammeter with a
range of 0 − 120 A to the alternator "B" terminal
output wire.
NOTE: The way of disconnecting the alternator
output wire and of connecting the ammeter is
possibly not found the problem that the output
current is dropping due to the insufficient
connection between terminal "B" and the output
wire.
5. Connect a digital-type voltmeter between the
alternator "B" terminal and the battery (+)
terminal. [Connect the (+) lead of the voltmeter to
the "B" terminal and the connect the (-) lead of the
voltmeter to the battery (+) cable].
6. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
7. Connect a tachometer or the MUT-II/III (Refer to
GROUP 11A − On-vehicle Service − Idle speed
check <4G1> P.11A-11 or GROUP 11C −
On-vehicle Service − Idle speed check <4G6>
P.11C-11).
8. Leave the hood open.
9. Start the engine.
10.With the engine running at 2,500 r/min, turn the
headlamps and other lamps on and off to adjust
the alternator load so that the value displayed on
the ammeter is slightly above 30 A.Adjust the engine speed by gradually decreasing
it until the value displayed on the ammeter is 30
A. Take a reading of the value displayed on the
voltmeter at this time.
Limit: maximum 0.3 V
NOTE: When the alternator output is high and the
value displayed on the ammeter does not
decrease until 30 A, set the value to 40 A. Read
the value displayed on the voltmeter at this time.
When the value range is 40 A, the limit is
maximum 0.4 V.
11.If the value displayed on the voltmeter is above
the limit value, there is probably a malfunction in
the alternator output wire, so check the wiring
between the alternator "B" terminal and the
battery (+) terminal (including fusible link).
If a terminal is not sufficiently tight or if the
harness has become discolored due to
overheating, repair and then test again.
12.After the test, run the engine at idle.
13.Turn off all lamps and the ignition switch.
14.Remove the tachometer or the MUT-II/III.

OUTPUT CURRENT TESTM1161001000368
This test determines whether the alternator output
current is normal.
1. Before the test, always be sure to check the
following.
•Alternator installation
•Battery (Refer to GROUP 54A − Battery −
On-vehicle Service P.54A-5).
NOTE: The battery should be slightly discharged.
The load needed by a fully-charged battery is
insufficient for an accurate test.
•Drive belt tension
(Refer to GROUP 11A − On-vehicle Service <4G1>
P.11A-7 or GROUP 11C − On-vehicle Service
<4G6> P.11C-7.)
•Fusible link
•Abnormal noise from the alternator while the
engine is running.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.CAUTION
Never use clips but tighten bolts and nuts to
connect the line. Otherwise loose connections
(e.g. using clips) will lead to a serious accident
because of high current.
4. Connect a clamp-type DC test ammeter with a
range of 0 − 120 A to the alternator "B" terminal
output wire.
NOTE: The way of disconnecting the alternator
output wire and of connecting the ammeter is
possibly not found the problem that the output
current is dropping due to the insufficient
connection between terminal "B" and the output
wire.
5. Connect a voltmeter with a range of 0 − 20 V
between the alternator "B" terminal and the earth
[Connect the (+) lead of the voltmeter to the "B"
terminal, and then connect the (-) lead of the
voltmeter to the earth].

7. Connect a tachometer or the MUT-II/III (Refer to
GROUP 11A − On-vehicle Service − Idle speed
check <4G1> P.11A-11 or GROUP 11C −
On-vehicle Service − Idle speed check <4G6>
P.11C-11).
8. Leave the hood open.
9. Check that the reading on the voltmeter is equal
to the battery voltage.
NOTE: If the voltage is 0 V, the cause is probably
an open circuit in the wire or fusible link between
the alternator "B" terminal and the battery (+)
terminal.
10.Turn the light switch on to turn on headlamps and
then start the engine.
11.Immediately after setting the headlamps to high
beam and turning the heater blower switch to the
high revolution position, increase the engine
speed to 2,500 r/min and read the maximum
current output value displayed on the ammeter.
Limit: 70 % of normal current outputNOTE: .
•For the nominal current output, refer to the
Alternator Specifications.
•Because the current from the battery will soon
drop after the engine is started, the above step
should be carried out as quickly as possible in
order to obtain the maximum current output
value.
•The current output value will depend on the
electrical load and the temperature of the
alternator body.
•If the electrical load is small while testing, the
specified level of current may not be output
even though the alternator is normal. In such
cases, increase the electrical load by leaving
the headlamps turned on for some time to
discharge the battery or by using the lighting
system in another vehicle, and then test again.
•The specified level of current also may not be
output if the temperature of the alternator body
or the ambient temperature is too high. In such
cases, cool the alternator and then test again.
12.The reading on the ammeter should be above the
limit value. If the reading is below the limit value
and the alternator output wire is normal, remove
the alternator from the engine and check the
alternator.
13.Run the engine at idle after the test.
14.Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
15.Remove the tachometer or the MUT-II/III.
16.Disconnect the negative battery cable.
17.Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
18.Connect the negative battery cable.

Observation Conditions
NOTE:
The voltage waveform of the alternator "B" terminal
can undulate as shown in the illustration. This
waveform is produced when the regulator operates
according to fluctuations in the alternator load (current), and is normal for the alternator. In addition,
when the voltage waveform reaches an excessively
high value (approximately 2 V or higher at idle), it
often indicates an open circuit due to a brown fuse
between alternator "B" terminal and battery, but not a
defective alternator.
