E VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM
System DiagramINFOID:0000000005146554
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146555
Power generation variable voltage control system has been adopted. By varying the voltage to the generator,
engine load due to power generation of the generator is reduced and fuel consumption is decreased.
NOTE:
When any malfunction is detected in the power generat ion variable voltage control system, power generation
is performed according to the characterist ic of the IC regulator in the generator.
Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146556
ALMIA0057GB
Component part Description
Battery current sensor The battery current sensor is installed on the battery cable at the
negative terminal. The battery current sensor detects the charg-
ing/discharging current of the battery and sends a voltage signal
to the ECM according to the current value detected.
ECM The battery current sensor detects the charging/discharging cur-
rent of the battery. The ECM judges the battery condition based on
this signal.
The ECM judges whether to request more output via the power
generation voltage variable control according to the battery condi-
tion.
When performing the power generation voltage variable control,
the ECM calculates the target power generation voltage according
to the battery condition and sends the calculated value as the pow-
er generation command value to the IPDM E/R.
IPDM E/R The IPDM E/R converts the received power generation command
value into a pulse width modulated (PWM) command signal and
sends it to the IC regulator.
Generator (IC regulator) The IC regulator controls the power generation voltage by the tar-
get power generation voltage based on the received PWM com-
mand signal.
When there is no PWM command signal, the generator performs
the normal power generation according to the characteristic of the
IC regulator.

Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to CHG-14, "Wiring Diagram".
CAUTION:
When performing this inspection, always use a charged battery that has completed the battery inspec-
tion. (When the charging rate of the battery is low, the response speed of the voltage change will
become slow. This can cause an incorrect inspection.)
1.CHECK ECM (CONSULT-III)
Perform ECM self-diagnosis with CONSULT-III. Refer to EC-63, "
CONSULT-III 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-III and start the engine.
2. The selector lever is in “P” or “N” position and a ll of the electric loads and A/C, etc. are turned OFF.
3. Select “ALTERNATOR DUTY” in “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%.
Is the measurement val ue within specification?
YES >> Inspection End.
NO >> GO TO 3.
3.CHECK IPDM E/R (CONSULT-III)
Perform IPDM E/R self-diagnosis with CONSULT-III. Refer to PCS-14, "
CONSULT - III Function (IPDM E/R)".
