6D3-2 STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM
Starting System
General Description
Cranking Circuit
The cranking system consists of a battery, starter, starter
switch, starter relay, etc. These main components are
connected.
Starter
The cranking system employs a magnetic type reduction
starter in which the motor shaft is also used as a pinion shaft.
When the starter switch is turned on, the contacts of magnetic
switch are closed, and the armature rotates. At the same time,
the plunger is attracted, and the pinion is pushed forward by
the shift lever to mesh with the ring gear.
Then, the ring gear runs to start the engine. When the engine
starts and the starter switch is turned off, the plunger returns,
the pinion is disengaged from the ring gear, and the armature
stops rotation. When the engine speed is higher than the
pinion, the pinion idles, so that the armature is not driven.
Service Precaution
CAUTION:
Always use the correct fastener in the proper location.
When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part
number for that application. ISUZU will call out those
fasteners that require a replacement after removal. ISUZU
will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers
or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do
not use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener
joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect
the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may
damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts
and systems.

6D3-8 STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM
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 if 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.
3. Disconnect terminal "B" wiring connector and connector.
4. Remove generator assembly.

3. Set ammeter (measuring range 100A) in disconnected line.
4. Connect controllable load resistor to battery terminal.
5. Set resistor in front of connection to "O"; connect first to
battery, then to resistor.
6. Connect tachometer.
7. Connect oscilloscope according to manufacturer's
instructions.
8. Connect battery.
9. Start engine and read off resulting current at various engine
speeds.
STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM 6D3-13
5. During current output tests please make sure that the
ammeter is securely connceted into the charge circuit.
6. Some battery powered timing lights can produce high
transient voltages when connected or disconnected. Onl
y
disconnect or connect timing lights when the engine is
switched off.
7. Make sure the warning lamp circuit is functioning normall
y
before commencing tests.
8. Battery isolation switches must only be operated when the
engine is stopped.
9. To protect the charging system when using 240 vol
t
chargers it is recommeneded that the battery is
disconnected whilst charging.
10. Due to the very low resistance value of the stator winding i
t
may not be possible to obtain accurate readings withou
t
special equipment.
11. 12 volts must never be connected to the "L" terminal of the
regulator as this will damage the lamp driver circuit.
12. No loads apart from the warning lamp can be connected to
the "L" termainal. The "W" terminal is provided for this
purpose.
Disassembly
1. Mark the relative positions of the end housings in relation to
the stator assembly to aid reassembly. Use a permanen
t
marking pen do not use centre punched as this can cause
misalignmnet of the housings.
2. Remove the EP regulator from the slipring end housing b
y
removing the two screws. Tilt the regulator slightly from the
plug connection until the regulator clears the housing, then
lift clear.
3. Remove the four through bolts.
4. Carefully remove the stator assembly along with the slipring
end housing taking care not to put strain on the stator wires.
5. To disconnect the stator from the rectifier assembly, grasp
the stator wires close to the wire loop with a pair of long
nosed pliers, heat the joint with a soldering iron, when the
point becomes plastic apply a slight twisting motion to the
wires, then pull upwards to release the wires. Remove the
stator.
This procedure opens the wire loop to release the stato
r
connections easily.
6. To remove the rectifier remove the three retaining scre
w
and the B+ terminal nut and washers.
Note: the B+ bolt and the positive heatsink retaining screw are
fitted with mica insulating washers.
These must be discarded and replaced with new washers and
heatsink compound.

19B1 Sho rt Te rm Fuel
Trim (Bank 1)%-6 - 0-6 - 0 The short term fuel trim to a bank represents a short term
co rrection to the ba nk fue l de liv e ry by the ECM in
response to the amount of time the bank fuel control
oxygen sensor voltage spends above or below the
450mV threshold. If the oxygen sensor voltage has
ma inly rema ine d less tha n 450mV, indicating a lea n a ir/
fue l, short te rm fuel trim will incre a se into the positiv e
range above 0% and the ECM will pass fuel. If the
oxygen sensor voltage stays mainly above the threshold,
short term fuel trim will decrease below 0% into the
negative range while the ECM reduces fuel delivery to
compensate for the indicated rich condition. Under
ce rtain co nditions such a s e xte nde d idle a nd high
ambient temperatures, canister purge may cause short
term fuel trim to rea d in the ne ga tiv e ra nge during no rma l
operation. Fuel trim values at maximum authority may

Trim (Bank 1)%-10 - 0-5 - 0 The long te rm fue l trim is deliv ere d fro m the sho rt term
fuel term values and represents a long term correction of
fuel delivery for bank in question. A value of 0% indicates
that fuel delivery requires no compensation to maintain
the ECM commanded air fuel ratio. A negative value
indica tes tha t the fuel syste m is rich a nd fue l de live ry is
being reduced (decreased injector pulse width). A
positive value indicates that a lean condition exists and
the ECM is compensating by add fuel (increased injector
pulse width). Be ca use lo ng term fue l trim te nds to fo llow
short term fuel trim, a value in the negative range due to
canister purge at idle should not be considered unusual.
Fuel trim values at maximum authority may indicate an
excessively rich or lean system.
21Injection Pulse Widthms3.0 - 1.03.0 - 4.0 This displays the amount of time the ECM is

A longer injector pulse width will cause more fuel to be

increased engine load.
