1.3 System Operation
Operation
W ith the ignition switch in the ON position and the engine at rest, current is supplied via the regulator to generator
connector E-4 pin 1 and to the engine control module ECM connector E-60 pin 43. This initiates current flow (within the
regulator) from the generator connection P-9, to the brushes and rotor winding, to ‘excite’ the circuit.
The current in the rotor winding creates magnetic fields between adjacent rotor poles.
W ith the engine running, the rotor spins, the stator windings cut through this field and induce voltage. As the engine
speed is increased, this induced voltage increases. Current then flows through the three-phase diode bridge in the
rectifier to convert the AC voltage to DC. This is supplied to the generator connector P-9 output and then to the battery
terminal via fuse SBF1.
The regulator monitors the voltage to the battery. W hen this voltage reaches approximately 14.5 V, the regulator opens
the circuit through the rotor winding, causing the generator output voltage to drop. W hen the regulator senses a voltage
below a preset voltage, the regulator closes the circuit through the rotor winding and voltage to the battery again
increases. This cycle repeats very rapidly.

Ensure the replacement battery meets or exceeds these rating specifications.
Reserve Capacity
The RC of a battery is the amount of time (measured in minutes) the vehicle will travel at night with minimum electrical
load and no generator input.

b W ait 15 seconds for the battery to recover.
8 If possible, set the selector to 50% of rapid discharge current (or three times the 20 hour discharge rate).
9 Apply the load test for 10 seconds and record the battery voltage. If one cell is faulty it will gas excessively or overheat. This indicates a faulty battery.
10 Recharge the battery if the voltage is at or below the minimum voltage specified by the HRD manufacturer (or 9.6 V).
11 Replace the battery if the voltage is below the minimum voltage specified by the HRD manufacturer (or below 9.6 V after the battery is charged and the test is repeated). Refer to 4.1 Battery.
12 Connect the battery positive terminal.
13 Connect the battery negative terminal.
Alternate Load Test
If HRD test equipment is not available, test the battery as follows:
1 Read and obey the safety precautions for working with batteries, refer to 2 Safety Precautions.
2 Ensure the state of the battery is at least 65% charged. Refer to 3.3 Hydrometer Test.
3 Connect a voltmeter (1) between the battery terminals.
4 Turn the headlights on to high-beam for 10 seconds to remove any surface charge from the battery.
5 Remove fuses EB11 and EB12 from the engine compartment fuse and relay housing. This prevents
vehicle ignition and fuel injection while cranking the
engine.
6 Crank the engine and read the voltmeter. At temperatures above 5°C, the voltage of a fully charged
battery should not fall below 9.6 V.
NOTE
• If the battery and engine temperatures are
below 5 °C, the voltage may fall to 9 V.
• Try to avoid activating the starter motor
continuously for more than 30 seconds. If
activating the starter motor for 30 seconds,
allow the starter motor to cool for 3 minutes.
7 Replace the battery if a cell gasses excessively or overheats or if the voltage falls away quickly.
Figure 6D1-3 – 6
3.5 Battery Current Draw Test
The following test determines if excess current is being drawn from the battery whilst the vehicle has all accessories
turned off. Excess current draw will cause the battery to go flat if the vehicle is not started for an extended period.
Test Preparation
1 Read and obey the safety precautions for working with batteries, refer to 2 Safety Precautions.
2 If the battery is flat, temporarily install a good battery for the duration of the test.
3 Ensure the vehicle starts and the accessories operate normally.
4 Ensure the theft deterrent system operates normally. Refer to 11A Immobiliser.
5 Open all the side windows for access purposes.
6 Switch the ignition off.
7 Check that all interior illumination is off, including any compartment lighting.
8 Close all doors.

9 Lock the doors and activate the theft deterrent system to arm the vehicle.
10 If the multimeter contains fuses, check they are serviceable.
Test Procedure
1 Switch the multimeter to the mA current range (1).
2 Connect the positive test lead (2) to the fused mA terminal of the multimeter.
3 Connect the negative test (3) lead to the common terminal of the multimeter.
4 Connect large alligator clips to the ends of both test leads.
Figure 6D1-3 – 7
5 Connect the negative test lead clip to the threads of the battery negative terminal clamp (1).
6 Connect the positive lead’s clip to the threads of a convenient engine bolt (2).

Do not turn on the ignition switch while this
test is in progress. It will blow the
multimeter’s low current fuse.
7 Check the multimeter connections are secure.
8 Disconnect the vehicle’s main electrical earth by removing the battery negative terminal cable retaining
nut (3) and separating the cable from the battery
clamp.
Figure 6D1-3 – 8
9 Read the vehicle’s battery saver current on the multimeter. The multimeter reading should be within 16 – 30 mA (fluctuating).
10 If the multimeter reading is higher than specified, refer to Fault Diagnosis in this Section, otherwise restore the vehicle to its prior condition, refer to Restore in this Section.
Fault Diagnosis

Do not open any doors during this inspection.
If the doors must be opened, reinstall the
battery terminal to the battery clamp to
protect the multimeter's fuse from blowing.
Alternatively, use the higher (10 A) fuse rated
terminal on the multimeter until the source of
the higher current draw has been found.
1 Visually inspect the vehicle for illuminated lamps and components activated by energised relays.
2 If the cause of the excessive current draw is not apparent, remove one fuse (or circuit breaker) at a time to determine the circuit group that is drawing excess current. Refer to 8A Electrical Body & Chassis for fuse grouping
location.
