Regarding Wiring Diagram information. Refer to CHG-9, "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)
Perform “Self Diagnostic Result” of “ECM” with CONSULT. Refer to EC-60, "
CONSULT Function".
Self
-diagnostic results content

3. Check continuity between generator harne ss connector and IPDM E/R harness connector.
“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
