11. Charging Control
General
This system lowers the generated voltage when the vehicle is idling or is being driven at a constant speed,
and raises the generated voltage when the vehicle is decelerating. This reduces the load on the engine as
a result of the electric generation of the generator, thus contributing to the fuel economy of the engine.
During acceleration, this system regulates the generated voltage in order to place the amperage estimation
value close to the target value.
This control consists of the ECM, battery current sensor with a built-in battery temperature sensor,
generator, and various sensors and switches.
The ECM detects driving condition based on signals from various sensors and switches, and detects
charging condition based on signals from the generator, battery current sensor and battery temperature
sensor. Then the ECM outputs signals to the IC regulator to control the genetated voltage of the generator.
The ECM stops the charging control and the generator switches to normal power generation mode under
the following conditions:
Low battery capacity
Low or high battery temparature
Wipers operating or blower motor operating with tail lamp relay ON

8. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITH LOAD
(a) With the engine running at 2,000 rpm, turn the high
beam headlights ON and turn the heater blower
switch to the "HI" position.
(b) Check the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage:
30 A or more
If the ammeter reading is less than the standard
amperage, repair the generator.
HINT:
If the battery is fully charged, the indication will
sometimes be less than the standard amperage. If
this is the case, add more electrical load (operate
the wipers, rear window defogger, etc.) and check
the reading on the ammeter again.

(c) Install the arm and blade with the nut. Make sure
that the arm and blade comes to the position shown
in the illustration.
Torque: 21 N*m (214 kgf*cm, 23 ft.*lbf)
HINT:
Hold down the arm hinge with your hand while
tightening the nut.
(d) Operate the front wipers while spraying water or
washer fluid on the windshield. Ensure that there is
no interference between the blades and pillar.
8. INSTALL FRONT WIPER ARM HEAD CAP
(a) Install the 2 caps.
