< PRECAUTION >
PRECAUTIONS
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button igniti on switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Power Generation Vo ltage Variable Control SystemINFOID:0000000006274856
CAUTION:
For this model, the battery current sensor that is in stalled to the battery cable at the negative terminal
measures the charging/discharging curre nt of the battery, and performs various controls. If the electri-
cal component or the ground wire is connected direct ly to the battery terminal, the current other than
that being measured with the battery current sensor is charging to or discharging from the battery.
This condition causes the malfunction of the control, and then the battery discharge may occur. Do
not connect the electrical compon ent or the ground wire directly to the battery terminal.

Component part Description
Alternator (IC voltage regulator) IC voltage regulator controls the power generation voltage by the target power genera-
tion voltage based on the received power generation command signal.
When there is no power generation command signal, the alternator performs the normal
power generation according to the characteristic of the IC voltage regulator.
Battery current sensor Battery current sensor is installed to the battery cable at the negative terminal, and it de-
tects the charging/discharging current of the battery and sends the voltage signal to ECM
according to the current value.
Combination meter (C harge warning lamp) The IC voltage regulator warning function activates to illuminate the charge warning
lamp, if any of the following symptoms occur while alternator is operating:
 Excessive voltage is produced.
 No voltage is produced.
ECM Battery current sensor detects the charging/discharging current of the battery. ECM judg-
es the battery condition based on this signal.
ECM judges whether to perform the power generation voltage variable control according
to the battery condition.
When performing the power generation voltage variable control, ECM calculates the tar-
get power generation voltage according to the battery condition and sends the calculated
value as the power generation command value to IPDM E/R.
IPDM E/R IPDM E/R converts the received power generation command value into the power gen-
eration command signal (PWM signal) and sends it to the IC voltage regulator.
