1997 RENAULT KANGOO alternator

STARTING - CHARGING
Alternator

If the electrical supply measured is too low, check:
- the wear of the alternator (brush...),
- the battery connections,
- the engine earth strap,
- the conformity of the alternator,
- the belt tension.
If the electrical supply measured is correct and the regulated voltage is too low, the alternator is not faulty.
The cause of the problem is to be attributed to one of the following sources :
- the vehicle has too many electrical consumers,
- the battery is discharged.

REMOVAL
Place the vehicle on a two post lift .
Disconnect the battery as well as all electrical
connections leading to the alternator.
Remove :
- the alternator belt and that of the power as-
sisted steering pump for the D7F engine (if
fitted),
- the alternator.
REFITTING
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
D7F Engine
Tensioning of the alternator belt is carried out
using the locally manufactured tool shown be-
low (threaded rod 100 mm in length (X) and three
M6 nuts).

INJECTION
Idle speed correction

CONNECTION BETWEEN THE POWER ASSISTED STEERING PRESSOSTAT AND THE INJECTION COMPUTER
The injection computer receives information from the power assisted steering pressostat . This varies
depending on the pressure present in the hydraulic circuit. The higher the pressure, , the more energy is
absorbed by the power assisted steering pump.
To compensate for this energy absorption, the injection computer increases the opening ratio of the idle
speed regulation stepping motor.
The information is received on track 13 of the injection computer. If the pressostat is closed , the computer
receives an earth . The idle speed is adjusted to 800 rpm for the D7F engine and 850 rpm for the E7J
engine .
IDLE SPEED CORRECTION DEPENDING ON THE BATTERY VOLTAGE
The objective of this correction is to compensate for the drop in voltage, due to consumer operation when
the battery is poorly charged To correct this, the idle speed is increased, allowing the alternator to rotate
faster and consequently increase the charging voltage.
The lower the voltage, the greater the degree of correction. Correction of the engine speed is therefore
variable. It begins when the voltage drops to below 12.7 Volts. Correction begins at the nominal engine
speed and may reach a maximum of 880 rpm for the D7F engine and 930 rpm for the
E7J engine .
IDLE SPEED CORRECTION DEPENDING ON AIR CONDITIONING OPERATION
The injection computer increases the idle speed to 850 rpm. for the D7F engine and 880 rpm . for the E7J
engine , provided it receives the fast idle speed information from the air conditioning computer.

CLEANING
It is very important not to scratch the gasket faces
of all aluminium components.
Use the product Décapjoint to dissolve the part
of the gasket which remains attached.
Apply the product to the part to be cleaned, wait
approximately 10 minutes, then remove it using a
wooden spatula.
The wearing of gloves is recommended during
this operation.
