GENERAL
INFORMATION
The generator
is
belt-driven
by the
engine.
All en­

gines
use
serpentine drive. The amount
of DC
current produced
by the
gener­
ator
is
controlled
by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
All vehicles
are
equipped with
On
Board Diagnos­
tics (OBD).
All OBD
sensing systems
are
monitored
by
the PCM. The PCM
will store
in
electronic mem­ ory
any
detectable failure within
the
monitored cir­

cuits.
Refer
to
USING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
in
this group
for
more information.

OPERATIONAL CHECK
WITH
VOLTMETER
When
the
ignition switch
is
turned
to the RUN po­

sition, battery potential will register
on the
voltme­
ter. During engine cranking
a
lower voltage will appear
on the
meter. With
the
engine running,
a

voltage reading higher than
the
first reading (igni­
tion
in RUN)
should register.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
If
the
indicator does
not
operate properly,
or if an

undercharged
or
overcharged battery condition
oc­

curs,
the
following procedures
may be
used
to
diag­
nose
the
charging system. Remember that
an
undercharged battery
is
often
caused
by:
• accessories being left
on
overnight
•
or by a
defective switch which allows
a
bulb, such
as a
trunk
or
glove
box

light,
to
stay
on
(refer
to
Ignition
Off
Draw).
WISUAL
INSPECTION

• Inspect condition
of
battery cable terminals, bat­
tery posts, connections
at
engine block, starter motor solenoid
and
relay. They should
be
clean
and
tight.
Repair
as
required.
• Inspect
all
fuses
in the
fuse block
for
tightness
in

receptacles. They should
be
properly installed
and

tight. Repair
or
replace
as
required.
• Inspect generator mounting bolts
for
tightness.
Re­

place
or
torque bolt
as
required (refer
to
Torque Specifications).
• Inspect generator drive belt condition
and
tension.
Tension
or
replace belt
as
required. Refer
to
Belt
Tension Specifications. • Inspect connection
at
generator
B+
output.
It

should
be
clean
and
tight. Repair
as
required.

GENERATOR
OUTPUT
WIRE RESISTANCE TEST
(FIG.
1)
Generator output wire resistance test will show
amount
of
voltage drop across generator output wire
between generator
BAT
terminal
and
battery posi­ tive post.

PREPARATION
(1) Before starting test make sure vehicle
has a

fully charged battery. Test
and
procedures
on how to
check
for a
fully charged battery
are
shown
in
Bat­
tery section
of
this Group.
(2) Turn
OFF
ignition switch.
(3)
Disconnect negative cable from battery.

(4)
Disconnect generator output wire from genera­
tor output Battery terminal. (5) Connect
a 0-150
ampere scale
D.C.
ammeter
in

series between generator
BAT
terminal
and
discon­
nected generator output wire. Connect Positive lead
to generator
BAT
terminal
and
Negative lead
to
dis­ connected generator output wire. (6) Connect Positive lead
of a
test voltmeter
(Range
0-18
volts minimum)
to
disconnected genera­
tor output wire. Connect negative lead
of
test voltme­
ter
to
battery positive cable
at
positive post. (7) Connect
one end of a
Jumper Wire
to
ground
and with other
end
probe green
K20
lead wire
at

back
of
generator
(Fig. 1).
(This will generate
a
fault
code).

CAUTION:
Do not
connect blue
A142
lead
of
wiring
to ground. Refer
to
Group
8W
-
Wiring Diagrams
for
more information.

(8) Connect
an
engine tachometer
and
connect neg­
ative cable
to
battery.
(9) 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.

TEST
(1) Start engine. Immediately after starting,
re­

duce engine speed
to
idle.
