7) If DTC is detected, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-672.
If DTC is not detected, go to next step.
8) Start engine and wait one minute at idle.
9) Turn ignition switch ªOFFº, wait 5 seconds and then turn ªONº.
10) Perform ªDiagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic result)º with ECM.

System DescriptionNJSC0009The alternator provides DC voltage to operate the vehicle's electrical system and to keep the battery charged.
The voltage output is controlled by the IC regulator.
Power is supplied at all times to alternator terminal 4 (S) through:
+10A fuse (No. 33, located in the fuse and fusible link box).
Terminal B supplies power to charge the battery and operate the vehicle's electrical system. Output voltage
is controlled by the IC regulator at terminal 4 (S) detecting the input voltage. The charging circuit is protected
by the 80A (Gasoline engine models for Europe without daytime light system) or 100A (Except gasoline engine
models for Europe without daytime light system) fusible link.
The alternator is grounded to the engine block.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
+through 10A fuse [No. 30, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
+to combination meter terminal 1
Ground is supplied to terminal 28 of the combination meter through terminal 3 (L) of the alternator. With power
and ground supplied, the charge warning lamp will illuminate. When the alternator is providing sufficient volt-
age with the engine running, the ground is opened and the charge warning lamp will go off.
If the charge warning lamp illuminates with the engine running, a fault is indicated.
