3. CHECK “B” TERMINAL CONNECTION (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
1. Start engine, then engine running at idle and warm.
2. Check voltage between battery positive terminal and alternator
“B” terminal.
OK or NG
OK >> Go to SC-25, "Trouble Diagnosis with Starting/Charging
System Tester (Charging)" .
NG >> Check harness between battery and alternator for poor continuity.
Power Generation Voltage Variable Control System Operation InspectionNKS003NQ
CAUTION:

For this model, the battery current sensor that is installed to the battery cable at the negative ter-
minal measures the charging/discharging current of the battery, and performs various controls. If
the electrical component or the ground wire is connected directly to the battery terminal, the cur-
rent other than that being measured with the battery current sensor is charging to or discharging
from the battery. This condition causes the malfunction of the control, and then the battery dis-
charge may occur. Never connect the electrical component or the ground wire directly to the bat-
tery terminal.

When performing this inspection, always use the charged battery that completed the battery
inspection. (When the charging rate of the battery is low, the response speed of the voltage
change will become slow. This is a cause of an incorrect inspection.)
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. CHECK ECM (CONSULT-II)
Perform ECM self-diagnosis with CONSULT-II. Refer to the following.

VQ35DE: EC-123, "CONSULT-II Function (ENGINE)"

VK45DE: EC-826, "CONSULT-II Function (ENGINE)"
Self-diagnostic results content
No malfunction detected>> GO TO 2.
Malfunction detected>> Check applicable parts, and repair or replace corresponding parts.

2. CHECK OPERATION OF POWER GENERATION VOLTAGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM
1. Connect CONSULT-II and start the engine.
2. The selector lever is in “P” or “N” position and all of the electric
loads and A/C, etc. are turned OFF.
3. Select “ALTERNATOR DUTY” at “ACTIVE TEST” of “ENGINE”,
and then check the value of “BATTERY VOLT” monitor when
DUTY value of “ALTERNATOR DUTY” is set to 40.0 %.
4. Check the value of “BATTERY VOLT” monitor when DUTY value
of “ALTERNATOR DUTY” is set to 80.0%.
OK or NG
OK >> INSPECTION END
NG >> GO TO 3. (The charging condition of the battery should
be normal.)
3. CHECK IPDM E/R (CONSULT-II)
Perform IPDM E/R self-diagnosis with CONSULT-II. Refer to PG-20, "
CONSULT-II Function (IPDM E/R)" .
Self
-diagnostic results content
No malfunction detected>> GO TO 4.
Malfunction detected>> Check applicable parts, and repair or replace corresponding parts.
4. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ALTERNATOR AND IPDM E/R
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect alternator connector and IPDM E/R connector.
3. Check continuity between alternator harness connector (A) and
IPDM E/R harness connector (B).
4. Check continuity between alternator harness connector (A) and
ground.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace IPDM E/R.
NG >> Repair harness or connector between IPDM E/R and alternator. “BATTERY VOLT”

DUTY value of “ALTERNA-
TOR DUTY” to 40.0 %: 12 - 13.6 V

Alternator Pulley Inspection
Perform the following.

Make sure that alternator pulley does not rattle.

Make sure that alternator pulley nut is tight.
Installation
Installation is the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Be sure to tighten “B” terminal nut carefully.

Install alternator, and check tension of belt. Refer to EM-16, "Checking Drive Belts" .

For this model, the power generation voltage variable control system that controls the power generation
voltage of the alternator has been adopted. Therefore, the power generation voltage variable control sys-
tem operation inspection should be performed after replacing the alternator, and then make sure that the
system operates normally. Refer to SC-29, "
Power Generation Voltage Variable Control System Operation
Inspection" .
