5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the
″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of al l control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Power Generation Variable Voltage Control SystemINFOID:0000000001538880
CAUTION:
For this model, the battery current sensor that is installed to the negative battery cable measures the
charging/discharging current of the battery and performs various engine controls. If an electrical com-
ponent is connected directly to the negative battery terminal, the current flowing through that compo-
nent will not be measured by the battery current sensor. This condition may cause a malfunction of
the engine control system and battery discharge m ay occur. Do not connect an electrical component
or ground wire directly to the battery terminal.

< BASIC INSPECTION >
DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORKFLOW
NOTE:
To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter and generator test segments must be done
as a set from start to finish.
1.PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Perform the preliminary inspection. Refer to CHG-10, "
Inspection Procedure".
>> GO TO 2.
2.DISABLE THE POWER GENERATION VO LTAGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM
Disable the power generation voltage variable control with either of the following procedures.
• After selecting “ENGINE” on the “SELECT SYSTEM” screen of CONSULT-III, set the “ALTERNATOR DUTY” value to 0 % by selecting “ALTERNATOR DUTY” with “Active Test”. Continue “Active Test” until the end of
inspection. (When the DUTY value is 0 or 100 %, the normal power generation is performed according to the
characteristic of the IC regulator of the generator.)
• Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the battery current sensor connector and leave it disconnected dur-
ing the course of the test.
NOTE:
Running the engine with the battery current sensor disconnected will cause DTC's (P1550-P1554) to set.
After finishing the inspection, connect the battery current sensor connector and erase the self-diagnostic
results history of the engine using CONSULT-III.
>> GO TO 3.
3.DIAGNOSIS WITH STARTING /CHARGING SYSTEM TESTER
Perform the charging system test using Starting/Charging System Test er (J-44373). For details and operating
instructions, refer to Technical Service Bulletin.
Te s t r e s u l t
CHARGING SYSTEM NOMAL>>Charging system is normal and will also show “DIODE RIPPLE” test result.
NO CHARGING VOLTAGE>>GO TO 4.
LOW CHARGING VOLTAGE>>GO TO 12.
HIGH CHARGING VOLTAGE>>GO TO 14.
DIODE RIPPLE NORMAL>>Diode ripple is OK and will also show “CHARGING VOLTAGE” test result.
EXCESS RIPPLE DETECTED>>Replace the generator. Perf orm “DIODE RIPPLE” test again using Starting/
Charging System Tester (J -44373) to confirm repair.
DIODE RIPPLE NOT DETECTED>>GO TO 4.
4.INSPECTION WITH CHARGE WARNING LAMP (IGNITION SWITCH IS ON)
Turn the ignition switch ON.
Does the charge warning lamp illuminate?
YES >> GO TO 6.
NO >> GO TO 5.
5.TERMINAL“2” (OPEN) CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Check terminal “2” circuit for open circuits. Refer to CHG-14, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Is the terminal
“2” circuit normal?
YES >> Replace generator.
NO >> Repair as needed.
6.INSPECTION WITH CHARGE WARNING LAMP (IDLING)
Start the engine and run it at idle.
Does the charge warning lamp turn OFF?
YES >> GO TO 9.
NO >> GO TO 7.
7.TERMINAL “2”(SHORT) CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Check terminal “2” circuit for short to ground. Refer to CHG-14, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Is the terminal
“2” circuit normal?
