Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005146558
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)".
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 GE NERATOR AND IPDM E/R
“BATTERY VOLT”
2 seconds after setting the
DUTY value of “ALTERNA-
TOR DUTY” to 40.0 %
: 12 - 13.6 V
“BATTERY VOLT”
20 seconds after setting
the DUTY value of “ALTER-
NATOR DUTY” to 80.0 % : +0.5 V or more against
the value of “BATTERY
VOLT” monitor when
DUTY value is 40.0 %

YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Check harness for open between generator and fusible link.
3.CHECK TERMINAL “1” CONNECTION (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
1. Start engine, then engine running at idle and warm.
2. Check voltage between battery positive terminal and generator connector E204 terminal 1.
Is the voltage reading as specified?
YES >> Terminal “1” circuit is normal. Refer to CHG-5, "Work
Flow".

L TERMINAL CIRCUIT
L TERMINAL CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146561
The terminal “2” (L) circuit controls the charge warning lamp. The charge warning lamp illuminates when the
ignition switch is set to ON or START. When the generator is providing sufficient voltage with the engine run-
ning, the charge warning lamp will go off. If the c harge warning lamp illuminates with the engine running, a
malfunction is indicated.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005146562
Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to CHG-14, "Wiring Diagram".
1.CHECK CHARGE WARNING LAMP CIRCUIT CONNECTION
Verify generator connector E205 terminal 2 is clean and tight.
Is the connection secure?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Repair the connection. Confirm repair by per forming complete Starting/Charging system test.
Refer to diagnostic station instruction manual.
2.CHECK CHARGE WARNING LAMP CIRCUIT
1. Disconnect generator connector E205.
2. Apply ground to generator harness connector E205 terminal 2 with the ignition switch in the ON position.
Does the charge lamp illuminate?
YES >> Check generator function. Refer to CHG-5, "Work Flow".
NO >> GO TO 3.
3.CHECK HARNESS CONTINUITY
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the generator connector E205 and combination meter connector M24.
3. Check continuity between generator harness connector E205 (A) terminal 2 and combination meter harness connector M24
(B) terminal 6.
4. Check continuity between generator harness connector E205 (A) terminal 2 and ground.
Are the continuity results as specified?
YES >> Replace the combination meter. Refer to MWI-100, "Removal and Installation".
NO >> Repair the harness or connector. Charge lamp should illuminate

Precaution for Liquid GasketINFOID:0000000005149035
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING
• After removing the bolts and nuts, separate the mating surface and
remove the old liquid gasket sealing using Tool.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the mating surfaces.
• Tap the seal cutter to insert it (1).
• In areas where the Tool is difficult to use, lightly tap to slide it (2).
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove the old liquid gasket adhering to the gasket application surface and the mating surface using suitable tool.
• Remove the liquid gasket completely from the groove of the
liquid gasket application surface, bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces and remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign material.
3. Attach the liquid gasket tube to the Tool. Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-15, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".
4. Apply the liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location.
• If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply theliquid gasket to the groove.
• As for the bolt holes, normally apply the liquid gasket inside
the holes. If specified in the procedure, it should also be
applied outside the holes.
• Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.
• If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
• Do not retighten after the installation.
• Wait 30 minutes or more after installation before refilling the engine with engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe them.
