Charging System

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
DESCRIPTION
The charging system included a battery, an alternator with a built- in regulator, and the charging indicator light and
wire.
The Alternator has built- in diodes, each rectifying AC current to DC current.
Therefore, DC current appears at alternator "B" terminal.
In addition, the charging voltage of this alternator is regulated by the battery voltage detection system.
The alternator is regulated by the battery voltage detection system. The main components of the alternator are the
rotor, stator, rectifier, capacitor brushes, bearings and V- ribbed belt pulley. The brush holder contains a built- in
electronic voltage regulator.

ON-VEHICLE INPECTION
a.Check that the battery cables are connected to the correct terminals.
b. Disconnect the battery cables when the battery is given a quick charge.
c. Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running.
CHECK BATTERY VOLTAGE
1.If 20 minutes have not passed since the engine was stopped, turn the ignition switch ON and turn on the electrical
system (headlamp, blower motor, rear defogger etc.) for 60 seconds to remove the surface charge.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF and turn off the electrical systems.
3. Measure the battery voltage between the negative ( - ) and positive (+) terminals of the battery.
Standard voltage : 12.5 ~ 12.9V at 20°C(68°F)
If the voltage is less than specification, charge the battery.
CHECK THE BATTERY TERMINALS AND FUSES
1.Check that the battery terminals are not loose or corroded.
2. Check the fuses for continuity.
INSPECT DRIVE BELT
Visually check the belt for excessive wear, frayed cords etc.
If any defect has been found, replace the drive belt.
Cracks on the rib side of a belt are considered acceptable. If the belt has chunks missing from the ribs, it should
be replaced.
VISUALLY CHECK ALTERNATOR WIRING AND LISTEN FOR ABNORMAL NOISES
1.Check that the wiring is in good condition.
2. Check that there is no abnormal noise from the alternator while the engine is running.
CHECK DISCHARGE WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT
1.Warm up the engine and then turn it off.
2. Turn off all accessories.
3. Turn the ignition switch "ON". Check that the discharge warning light is lit.
4. Start the engine. Check that the light is lit.
If the light does not go off as specified, troubleshoot the discharge light circuit.
INSPECT CHARGING SYSTEM
VOLTAGE DROP TEST OF ALTERNATOR OUTPUT WIRE
This test determines whether or not the wiring between the alternator "B" terminal and the battery (+) terminal is good
by the voltage drop method.
PREPARATION

TEST
1.Check to see that the voltmeter reads as the same value as the battery voltage. If the voltmeter reads 0V, and the
open circuit in the wire between alternator "B" terminal and battery ( - ) terminal or poor grounding is suspected.
2. Start the engine and turn on the headlamps.
3. Set the headlamps to high beam and the heater blower switch to HIGH, quickly increase the engine speed to 2,500
rpm and read the maximum output current value indicated by the ammeter.
After the engine start up, the charging current quickly drops.
Therefore, the above operation must be done quickly to read the maximum current value correctly.
RESULT
1.The ammeter reading must be higher than the limit value. If it is lower but the alternator output wire is in good
condition, remove the alternator from the vehicle and test it.
Limit value : 70Ë of the rated current
a.The nominal output current value is shown on the nameplate affixed to the alternator body.
b. The output current value changes with the electrical load and the temperature of the alternator itself.
Therefore, the nominal output current may not be obtained. If such is the case, keep the headlamps on the
cause discharge of the battery, or use the lights of another vehicle to increase the electrical load.
The nominal output current may not be obtained if the temperature of the alternator itself or ambient
temperature is too high.
In such a case, reduce the temperature before testing again.
2. Upon completion of the output current test, lower the engine speed to idle and turn off the ignition switch.
3. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
4. Remove the ammeter and voltmeter and the engine tachometer.
5. Connect the alternator output wire to the alternator "B" terminal.
6. Connect the battery ground cable.
REGULATED VOLTAGE TEST
The purpose of this test is to check that the electronic voltage regulator controls voltage correctly.
PREPARATION
1.Prior to the test, check the following items and correct if necessary.
Check that the battery installed on the vehicle is fully charged. The battery checking method is described in the
section "Battery".
Check the alternator drive belt tension. The belt tension check method is described in the section "Inspect drive
belt".
2. Turn ignition switch to "OFF".
3. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
4. Connect a digital voltmeter between the "B" terminal of the alternator and ground. Connect the (+) lead of the
voltmeter to the "B" terminal of the alternator. Connect the ( - ) lead to good ground or the battery ( - ) terminal.
5. Disconnect the alternator output wire from the alternator "B" terminal.

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
DESCRIPTION
1.Engine is hard to start or does not start at all.
2. Unstable idle.
3. Poor driveability
If any of the above conditions are noted, first perform a routine diagnosis that includes basic engine checks (ignition
system malfunction, incorrect engine adjustment, etc.). Then, inspect the Gasoline Engine Control system components
with the HI- SCAN (Pro).
a. Before removing or installing any part, read the diagnostic trouble codes and then disconnect the battery
negative ( - ) terminal.
b. Before disconnecting the cable from battery terminal, turn the ignition switch to OFF. Removal or connection
of the battery cable during engine operation or while the ignition switch is ON could cause damage to the
ECM.
c. The control harnesses between the ECM and heated oxygen sensor are shielded with the shielded ground
wires to the body in order to prevent the influence of ignition noises and radio interference. When the shielded
wire is faulty, the control harness must be replaced.
d. When checking the generator for the charging state, do not disconnect the battery '+' terminal to prevent the
ECM from damage due to the voltage.
e. When charging the battery with the external charger, disconnect the vehicle side battery terminals to prevent
damage to the ECM.

INSTRUCTIONS
WHEN HANDLING REFRIGERANT
1. R- 134a liquid refrigerant is highly volatile. A drop on the skin of your hand could result in localized frostbite. When
handling the refrigerant, be sure to wear gloves.
2. It is standard practice to wear goggles or glasses to protect your eyes, and gloves to protect your hands. If the
refrigerant splashes into your eyes, wash them with clean water immediately.
3. The R- 134a container is highly pressurized. Never leave it in a hot place, and check that the storage temperature
is below 52°C (126°F)
4. An electronic leak detector should be used to check the system for refrigerant leakage. Bear in mind that the R-
134a, upon coming into contact with flame, produces phosgene, a highly toxic gas.
5. Use only recommended the lubricant for R- 134a systems. If lubricants other than the recommended one used,
system failure may occur.
6. PAG lubricant absorbs moisture from the atmosphere at a rapid rate, therefore the following precautions must be
observed:
a. When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, cap immediately the components to prevent from the
entry of moisture.
b. When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the cap until just before connecting the
components.
c. Complete the connection of all refrigerant tubes and hoses without delay to prevent the A/C system from taking
on moisture.
d. Use the recommended lubricant from a sealed container only.
7. If an accidental discharge in the system occurs, ventilate the work area before resuming service.
WHEN REPLACING PARTS ON A/C SYSTEM
1.Never open or loosen a connection before discharging the system.
2. Seal the open fittings of components with a cap or plug immediately to prevent intrusion of moisture or dust.
3. Do not remove the sealing caps from a replacement component until it is ready to be installed.
4. Before connecting an open fitting, always install a new sealing ring. Coat the fitting and seal with refrigerant oil
before making the connection.
WHEN INSTALLING CONNECTING PARTS
FLANGE WITH GUIDE PIN
