1999-2000 STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS
Generators & Regulators
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
The generator is a small, high RPM, high performance type with an internal Integrated Circuit (IC) voltage
regulator which controls charging system voltage. A transistor inside IC regulator controls generator voltage
output to maintain a constant voltage. Charging system voltage is maintained within an operating range of 13.2-
15.1 volts. See GENERATOR REGULATED OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS
table under NO-LOAD TEST
under ON-VEHICLE TESTING for specific model operating ranges. For generator rated ampere output, see
GENERATOR RATED AMPERE OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS
table.
When ignition is turned on, battery voltage flows from generator terminal "L" through IC regulator to ground,
causing discharge warning light to come on. When engine starts, generator RPM increases, which increases
generator output voltage. When generator output voltage is greater than battery voltage, voltage to recharge
battery flows from terminal "B". At the same time, voltage at terminal "L" increases and the potential difference
between battery and terminal "L" ceases, causing discharge warning light to go off.
