6. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (in Neutral) until the radiator fan comes on,
then let it idle.
7. Raise the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it
there.

Alternator Control System Test
NOTE: After troubleshooting, perform the engine
control module (ECM) idle learn procedure (see page
11-139).
1 . Check for proper operation of the electrical load
detector (ELD) by checking the malfunction
indicator lamp (MlL) (see page 1 l-3). lf a DTC is
present, diagnose and repair the cause before
continuing with this test.
2. Disconnect the engine wire harness 6P connector
from the starter sub harness 6P connector.
3. Start the engine, and turn the headlights (high
beam) ON,
4. Measure voltage between the engine wire harness
6P connector terminal No. 2 and the positive
terminal of lhe battery.

SRS components are located in this area. Reviewthe SRS component locations (see page 23-'13) and precautions andprocedures (see page 23-14) in the SRS section before performing repairs or service.
1. Disconnect the 14P connector from the control unit.
2. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
. lf the terminals are bent, loose, orcorroded, repairthem as necessary, and recheckthe system.. lf the terminals look OK, go to step 3.
