2.STOP POWER GENERATION VOLT
AGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM
Stop the operation of the power generation voltage variabl e control in either of the following procedures.
• After selecting “ENGINE” using CONSULT, set the DUTY value of “ALTERNATOR DUTY” to 0 % by select- ing “ALTERNATOR DUTY” of “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, and disconnect the batte ry current sensor connector. [However, DTC (P1550–
P1554) of the engine might remain. After finishing the inspection, connect the battery current sensor connec-
tor and erase the self diagnosis results history of the engine using CONSULT.]
>> GO TO 3.
3.DIAGNOSIS WITH EXP-800 NI OR GR8-1200 NI
Perform the charging system test using Multitasking battery and electrical diagnostic station GR8-1200 NI or
Battery and electrical diagnostic analyzer EXP-800 NI. Re fer to the applicable Instruction Manual for proper
testing procedures.
Test result
NO PROBLEMS>>Charging system is normal and will also show “DIODE RIPPLE” test result.
NO VOLTAGE>>GO TO 4.
LOW VOLTAGE>>GO TO 12.
HIGH VOLTAGE>>GO TO 14.
EXCESSIVE RIPPLE, OPEN PHASE, OPEN DIODE or SHORTED DIODE>>Replace the generator. Refer
to CHG-32, "Removal and Installation"
. Perform “DIODE RIPPLE” test again using Multitasking
battery and electrical diagnostic station GR8-1200 NI or Battery and electrical diagnostic analyzer
EXP-800 NI to confirm repair.
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.“L” TERMINAL CIRCUIT (OPEN) INSPECTION
Check “L” terminal circuit (open). Refer to CHG-27, "Diagnosis Procedure"
.
Is the
“L” terminal circuit normal?
YES >> Replace generator. Refer to CHG-32, "Removal and Installation".
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.“L” TERMINAL CIRCUIT (SHORT) INSPECTION
Check “L” terminal circuit (short). Refer to CHG-29, "Diagnosis Procedure"
.
Is the
“L” terminal circuit normal?
YES >> GO TO 8.
NO >> Repair as needed.
8.“S” TERMINAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Check “S” terminal circuit. Refer to CHG-30, "Diagnosis Procedure"
.
Is the
“S” terminal circuit normal?
YES >> GO TO 10.

Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000009460660
Regarding Wiring Diagram information. Refer to CHG-12, "Wiring Diagram".
CAUTION:
When performing this in spection, always use a charged battery that has completed the battery inspec-
tion. (When the charging rate of the battery is lo w, the response speed of the voltage change will
become slow. This can cause an incorrect inspection.)
1.CHECK ECM (CONSULT)
Perform ECM self-diagnosis with CONSULT. Refer to EC-77, "CONSULT Function"
(QR25DE) or EC-601,
"CONSULT Function" (VQ35DE).
Self
-diagnostic results content

lamp circuit When there is an open circuit on MIL circuit, the ECM cannot warn the
driver by illuminating MIL when there is malfunction on engine control
system.
Therefore, when electrical controlled throttle and part of ECM related
diagnoses are continuously detected as NG for 5 trips, ECM warns the
driver that engine control system malfunctions and MIL circuit is open
by means of operating the fail-safe function.
The fail-safe function also operates when above diagnoses except MIL

INTEGRATED CONTROL OF ENGINE, CV T, AND ABS : System Description
INFOID:0000000009462527
Real time communications (signal exchange) among cont rol units (e.g. ECM, CVT, ABS, and combination
meter) via CAN communication optimizes engine torque and lock-up during gear shift and prevents engine
speed from decreasing during deceleration.
ALTERNATOR POWER GENERATION VOLTAGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYS-
TEM
ALTERNATOR POWER GENERATION VOLT AGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM :
System Description
INFOID:0000000009462528
The alternator power generation voltage variable contro l system controls the amount of power generation,
according to a battery loaded condition. ECM judges a battery condition, according to a signal received from
the battery current sensor which det ects a charge/discharge current. ECM then transmits a signal to IPDM E/
R to command power generation via CAN communication. IPDM E/R transmits a power generation control sig-
nal to the alternator so that the system can contro l the amount of power generation. The voltage of power gen-
eration is lowered during battery low-load conditions and boosted under heavy load conditions. In this way, the
system reduces the engine load thr ough the adequate power generation control.
For details, refer to CHG-10, "System Description"
.
CAN COMMUNICATION
CAN COMMUNICATION : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000009462529
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication s peed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CA N communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
Refer to LAN-32, "CAN COMMUNICA TION SYSTEM : CAN Communication Signal Chart"
, about CAN com-
munication for detail.
