Brush Spring
Use spring balancer to measure the spring setting force
when remove the spring from the brush.
Standard: 17.65–23.54 N (38.9–51.9 lb)
Limit: 11.77 N (25.9 lb)
Magnetic Switch
Temporarilly connect the magnetic switch between the
overrunning clutch and housing.
Perform the steps described below in 3 to 5 seconds.
1. Pull in test
Connect the ground (-) to terminal C and magnetic
switch body.
Verify that the pinion pulls out when the battery (+)
pole is connected to terminal 50.
065R100017
2. Hold in test
Observe that the pinion stays when the lead wire is
disconnected from terminal C.
065R100018
3. Return test
Connect the ground (-) to terminal 50 and magnetic
switch body.
Verify that the pinion pulls out when the battery (+)
pole is connected to terminal C and the pinion
pulls away when the lead wire is disconnected from
terminal 50.

Field Coil
1. Check for continuity between the end of the field coil
and yoke body.
Replace the field coil, if there is continuity.

STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM (6VE1 3.5L) 6D3-15
Charging System
General Description
The IC integral regulator charging system and its main
components are connected as shown in illustration.
The regulator is a solid state type and it is mounted
along with the brush holder assembly inside the
generator installed on the rear end cover.
The generator does not require particular maintenance
such as voltage adjustment.
The rectifier connected to the stator coil has eigh
t
diodes to transform AC voltage into DC voltage.
This DC voltage is connected to the output terminal o
f
generator.
General On–Vehicle Inspection
The operating condition of charging system is indicated
by the charge warning lamp. The warning lamp comes
on when the starter switch is turned to “ON" position.
The charging system operates normally if the lamp
goes off when the engine starts.
If the warning lamp shows abnormality or i
f
undercharged or overcharged battery condition is
suspected, perform diagnosis by checking the charging
system as follows:
1. Check visually the belt and wiring connector.
2. With the engine stopped, turn the stator switch to
“ON" position and observe the warning lamp.
If lamp does not come on:
Disconnect wiring connector from generator, and
ground the terminal “L" on connector side.
If lamp comes on:
Repair or replace the generator.

Generator
Removal
1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
2. Move drive belt tensioner to loose side using
wrench then remove drive belt (1).
3. Disconnect the wire from terminal “B" and
disconnect the connector (4).
4. Remove generator fixing bolt (3).
5. Remove generator assembly (2).

Inspection
1. Disconnect the wiring connector from generator.
2. With the engine stopped, turn starter switch to “ON"
and connect a voltmeter between connecto
r
terminal L (2) and ground or between terminal IG (1)
and ground.
066RW001
If voltage is not present, the line between battery
and connector is disconnected and so requires
repair.
3. Reconnect the wiring connector to the generator,
run the engine at middle speed, and turn off all
electrical devices other than engine.
4. Measure battery voltage. If it exceeds 16V, repair o
r
replace the generator.
5. Connect an ammeter to output terminal o
f
generator, and measure output current under load
by turning on the other electrical devices (eg.,
headlights). At this time, the voltage must not be
less than 13V.
Installation
1. Install generator assembly to the position to be
installed.
2. Install generator assembly and tighten the fixing
bolts to the specified torque.
Torque:
M10 bolt: 52 N
m (5.3 kg
m/38 lb ft)
M8 bolt: 25 N
m (2.5 kg
m/18 lb ft)
3. Connect wiring harness connector and direc
t
terminal “B".
4. Move drive belt tensioner to loose side using
wrench, then install drive belt to normal position.
5. Reconnect battery ground cable.
