tery post and the solenoid threaded stud. The follow­
ing operation will require a voltmeter, accurate to 1/10 of a volt.
Before performing the tests, assure the following
procedures are accomplished:
•
Disconnect the distributor connector (gas engine).

•
Disconnect both wires on the fuel solenoid (diesel engine) (Fig. 3). Verify that:

•
all lights and accessories are OFF

•
transmission shift selector is in PARK (automatic)
or NEUTRAL (manual)

•
parking brake is applied

•
battery is fully charged (refer to Battery Test Pro­
cedures). (1) Connect positive lead of voltmeter to battery
negative post. Connect negative lead of voltmeter to
battery negative cable clamp (Fig. 4). Rotate and

Test
(Typical)

(2) Adjust engine speed and carbon pile to main­
tain 20 amperes flowing in circuit. Observe voltmeter
reading. Voltmeter reading should not exceed 0.5
volts.

RESULTS
If a higher voltage drop is indicated, inspect, clean
and tighten all connections between generator BAT
terminal and battery Positive post. A voltage drop
test may be performed at each connection to locate
connection with excessive resistance. If resistance
tested satisfactorily, reduce engine speed, turn off carbon pile and turn off ignition switch.
(1) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
(2) Remove test ammeter, voltmeter, carbon pile,
and tachometer. (3) Remove "Jumper Wire".
(4) Connect generator output wire to generator
BAT terminal post. Tighten to 5 to 6 Nnn (45 to 75

in.
lbs.). (5) Connect negative cable to battery.
(6) Use DRB II Scan Tool to erase diagnostic trou­
ble code.

CURRENT
OUTPUT
TEST
Current output test determines whether or not gen­
erator is capable of delivering its rated current out­
put.
PREPARATION

(1) Before starting any tests make sure vehicle has
a fully charged battery. Test and procedures on how
to check for a fully charged battery are shown in
Battery section of this Group,
(2) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
(3) Disconnect generator output wire at the gener­
ator battery terminal.
(4) Connect a 0-150 ampere scale D.C. ammeter in
series between generator BAT terminal and discon­
nected generator output wire (Fig. 2). Connect posi­
tive lead to generator BAT terminal and negative
lead to disconnected generator output wire.
(5) Connect positive lead of a test voltmeter (range
0-18 volts minimum) to generator BAT terminal.
(6) Connect negative lead of test voltmeter to a
good ground.
(7) Connect an engine tachometer and connect neg­
ative cable to battery.
(8) Connect a variable carbon pile rheostat be­
tween battery terminals. Be sure carbon pile is in Open or Off position before connecting leads. See
Battery section, Load Testing for instructions.
(9) Connect one end of a Jumper Wire to ground
and with other and probe green K20 lead wire at
back of generator (Fig. 2). (This will generate a fault
code).

more
information.

TEST
(1) Start engine. Immediately after starting reduce
engine speed to idle. (2) Adjust carbon pile and engine speed in incre­
ments until a speed of 1250 rpm and voltmeter read­
ing of 15 volts is obtained.

CAUTION:
Do not
allow
voltage
meter
to
read
above
16 volts.

(3) The ammeter reading must be within limits
shown in generator specifications in back of this
group for that size of generator being tested.

RESULTS
(1) If reading is less than specified and generator
output wire resistance is not excessive, the generator
should be replaced. Refer to Group 8B - Generator
Service for information.
(2) After current output test is completed reduce
engine speed, turn off carbon pile and turn off igni­
tion switch.
(3) Disconnect negative cable from battery. (4) Remove test ammeter, voltmeter, tachometer
and carbon pile. (5) Remove Jumper Wire (Fig. 2).
(6) Connect generator output wire to generator
BAT terminal post. Tighten nut to 5-6 Nnn (45-75 in.

lbs.).

(7) Connect negative cable to battery.
(8) Use DRB II Scan Tool to erase diagnostic trou­
ble code.

USING
ON-BOARD
DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM
OPERATION
OF
ON-BOARD
DIAGNOSTIC

SYSTEM

The Powertrain Control Module monitors critical
input and output circuits of the charging system
making sure they are okay. Some are checked contin­
uously and some are only checked under certain con­
ditions.
If the OBD system senses that one of the critical
circuits is bad, it will consider this a real problem
and put a DTC into memory. Each input and output
circuit monitored by the OBD system has its own

DTC.
The DTC will stay in memory as long as the
circuit continues to be bad. If the problem does not
occur again after the code is put into memory, the
Powertrain Control Module will clear the memory af­
ter 50 to 100 engine starts.
