Battery, Mounting and Cables - Battery Connect
General Procedures

1.
NOTE: Whether one, or both, cables are disconnected, a
minimum of 30 seconds MUST elapse between disconnection of
the FIRST cable and reconnection of the LAST cable. A clean final
connection must be made; do not allow temporary contact.
Connect the batter y terminal(s).
2. Reset the clock.
3. Enter the radio security code. If necessary, refer to the Sound
System Handbook.

Generator and Regulator - Generator
Description and Operation
Generator - General View
Features
Manufacturer - Denso Type - L3B-HE Drive Ratio - 3.04:1 Output - 120 Amps at 5000 rpm (generator speed) at 25° C
The generator is fitted at the front right hand side of the engine, to a sepa rate mounting bracket, which in turn is bolted to
the cylinder block. Two bolts secure th e generator to the mounting bracket; one is reached from above and one from below
the vehicle.
The voltage regulator is integral with th e generator body. Battery charging capabi lity has been optimised for charging a
battery which is located remotely, in the luggage compartment. The design of the generator and regulator has been finely
matched, to generate charging current with very low ripple. This provides the best electrical refinement to the system.
The generator is driven by a single, multi-ribbed belt which also drives all other front-e nd accessories; except for the
supercharger (where fitted).
No special service tools are required to remove the generator from the vehicle.

5—Drive Belt - Multi-Ribbed

If the field were not controlled, the 'B+' output would rise to a level which could damage bulbs and ECMs. The regulator
compares the output voltage to an intern al voltage reference circuit to achieve the controlled output of the generator.
Suppression Module

Although the output from the generator is fi nely controlled and relatively smooth, it is still a pulsed DC output at a varying
frequency proportional to engine speed.
The suppression module damps ou t any ripple which may be sensed on the main output of the generator. This prevents
possible interference via the power supply, affecting the radio reception or, where fitted, the telephone.
The module is located on the right hand side of the engine compartment, on the inner panel just above the chassis leg,
adjacent to the generator. It is secured to two anti-vibration rubber moun tings. The illustration shows the suppression
module viewed from below the vehicle.
A fuse is fitted internally to the suppression module to protect the generator output in the event of a short circuit within th e
suppression module.
Drive Belt Automatic Tensioner

suppression module positive cable from the positive
terminal.
3. Where fitted, remove the nut which secures the
suppression module negati ve cable and disconnect
the cable from the generator. Reposition the
suppression module harness clear of the generator.

9. Remove the lower mounting bolt and reposition the harness
mounting bracket.

10. Remove the upper securing bolt and withdraw the generator
from the mounting bracket.

11. Carefully, manoeuvre the ge nerator forward towards the
radiator.
12. Change the position of the ge nerator and remove it upwards
between the engine and the radiator.
