GENRATOR OUTPUT TEST
1. Perform the generator system test. Refer to ”Gen-
erator System Check”in this section.
2. Replace the generator if it fails that test. Refer to
”Generator” in the On–Vehicle Service portion of
this section. If it passes the test, perform the on–
vehicle output check which follows.
Important : Always check the generator for output before
assuming that a grounded ”L” terminal circuit has dam-
aged the regulator.
3. Attach a digital multimeter, an ammeter, and a car-
bon pile load to the vehicle.
Important : Be sure the vehicle battery is fully charged,
and the carbon pile load is turned off.
4. With the ignition switch in the OFF position, check
and record the battery voltage.
5. Remove the harness connector from the generator.
6. Turn the ignition to RUN with the engine not run-
ning. Use a digital multimeter to check for voltage in
the harness connector ”L” terminal.
7. The reading should be near the specified battery
voltage of 12 volts. If the voltage is too low, check
the indicator L" terminal circuits for open and
grounded circuits causing voltage loss. Correct any
open wires, terminal connections, etc., as neces-
sary. Refer to”Charging System” in this section.
8. Attach the generator harness connector.
9. Run the engine at a moderate idle, and measure
the voltage across the battery terminals. The read-
ing should be above that recorded in step 14, but
less than 16 volts. If the reading is over 16 volts or
below the previous reading, replace the generator.
Refer to”Generator” in the On–Vehicle Service sec-
tion.
10. Run the engine at a moderate idle, and measure
the generator amperage output.
11. Turn on the carbon pile, and adjust it to obtain the
maximum amps while maintaining the battery volt-
age above 13 volts.
12. If the reading is within 15 amps of the generator’s
rating noted on the generator, the generator is
good. If not, replace the generator. Refer to”Gener-
ator” in the On–Vehicle Service section.
13. With the generator operating at the maximum out-
put, measure the voltage between the generator
housing and the battery negative terminal. The volt-
age drop should be 0.5 volt or less. If the voltage
drop is more than 0.5 volt, check the ground path
from the generator housing to the negative battery
cable.
14. Check, clean, tighten, and recheck all of the ground
connections.
GENERATOR SYSTEM CHECK
When operating normally, the generator indicator lamp will
come on when the ignition is in RUN position and go out
when the engine starts. If the lamp operates abnormally
or if an undercharged or overcharged battery condition oc-
curs, the following procedure may be used to diagnose the
charging system. Remember that an undercharged bat-
tery is often caused by accessories being left on overnight
or by a defective switch that allows a lamp, such as a trunk
or a glove box lamp, to stay on.
Diagnose the generator with the following procedure:
1. Visually check the belt and the wiring.
2. With the ignition in the ON position and the engine
stopped, the charge indicator lamp should be on. If
not, detach the harness at the generator and
ground the ”L” terminal in the harness with a 5–am-
pere jumper lead.
S If the lamp lights, replace the generator. Refer to
”Generator” in the On–Vehicle Service section.
S If the lamp does not light, locate the open circuit
between the ignition switch and the harness
connector. The indicator lamp bulb may be
burned out.
3. With the ignition switch in the ON position and the
engine running at moderate speed, the charge indi-
cator lamp should be off. If not, detach the wiring
harness at the generator.
S If the lamp goes off, replace the generator. Re-
fer to ”Generator” in the On–Vehicle Service
section.
S If the lamp stays on, check for a short to ground
in the harness between the connector and the
indicator lamp.
Important : Always check the generator for output before
assuming that a grounded ”L” terminal circuit has dam-
aged the regulator. Refer to”Generator” in the Unit Repair
section.

Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostic
table.
1. When the ignition is turned ON, the brake warning
lamp should initially illuminate and then dim for ABS
equipped vehicles. This is done as a bulb check.
On vehicles that are not equipped with ABS, the
brake warning lamp should only illuminate when
either the brake fluid reservoir is low or the parking
brake is applied.
7. The brake fluid level switch is a normally open
switch. If the brake warning lamp is off after discon-
necting the switch, the brake fluid level switch is
stuck closed.9. If the brake warning lamp is still on after discon-
necting the parking brake switch, there is a short to
ground in the wire to the parking brake switch.
12. If the other checks have been properly performed
and the brake warning lamp is off after disconnect-
ing the electronic brake control module (EBCM) J1
connector, the EBCM is faulty.
19. If the brake warning lamp does not operate while
performing any of the functions, the fault should be
in the ignition feed to the circuit.
24. This step determines if the problem is in the ignition
feed to the circuit or in the instrument cluster.
30. The brake warning lamp should illuminate when
jumpering the parking brake connector to ground.
32. If the brake warning lamp is on after jumpering the
brake fluid level switch terminals, the switch is
faulty.
