DETAILED FLOW

NOTE: To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, stater and generator test segments must be done as a set from start to finish.

1.PRELIMINARY INSPECTION

Perform the preliminary inspection. Refer to CHG-16, "Diagnosis Procedure".

>> GO TO 2.

2.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. Refer 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 3.

LOW VOLTAGE>>GO TO 10.

HIGH VOLTAGE>>Replace generator. Refer to CHG-20, "Removal and Installation".

EXCESSIVE RIPPLE, OPEN PHASE, OPEN DIODE or SHORTED DIODE>>Replace the generator. Refer to CHG-20, "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.

3.INSPECTION WITH CHARGE WARNING LAMP (IGNITION SWITCH IS ON)

Does the charge warning lamp illuminate? YES >> GO TO 4.

NO >> Replace generator. Refer to CHG-20, "Removal and Installation".

4.INSPECTION WITH CHARGE WARNING LAMP (IDLING)

Start the engine and run it at idle.

Does the charge warning lamp turn OFF? YES >> GO TO 5.

NO >> GO TO 6.

5.INSPECTION WITH CHARGE WARNING LAMP (ENGINE AT 3,000 RPM)

Increase and maintain the engine speed at 3,000 rpm.

Does the charge warning lamp remain off? YES >> GO TO 7.

NO >> GO TO 6.

6.INSPECTION OF GENERATOR PULLEY

Check generator pulley. Refer to EM-13, "Checking".

Is generator pulley normal? YES >> Replace generator. Refer to CHG-20, "Removal and Installation".

NO >> Repair as needed.

7.“B” TERMINAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION

Check “B” terminal circuit. Refer to CHG-18, "Diagnosis Procedure".

NO >> Repair as needed.

8.“B” TERMINAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION

Check “B” terminal circuit. Refer to CHG-18, "Diagnosis Procedure".

Is “B” terminal circuit normal? YES >> GO TO 9.

NO >> Repair as needed.

9.INSPECTION OF GENERATOR PULLEY

Check generator pulley. Refer to CHG-20, "Removal and Installation".

Is generator pulley normal? YES >> Replace generator. Refer to CHG-20, "Removal and Installation".

NO >> Repair as needed.

Work Flow (Without EXP-800 NI or GR8-1200 NI)

OVERALL SEQUENCE

Before performing a generator test, make sure that the battery is fully charged. A 30-volt voltmeter and suitable test probes are necessary for the test.

•  Before starting, inspect the fusible link.
•  Use fully charged battery.

DETAILED FLOW

1.PRELIMINARY INSPECTION

Perform the preliminary inspection. Refer to CHG-16, "Diagnosis Procedure".

>> GO TO 2.

2.INSPECTION WITH CHARGE WARNING LAMP (IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED ON)

When ignition switch is turned ON.

Does the charge warning lamp illuminate? YES >> GO TO 3.

NO >> Replace generator. Refer to CHG-20, "Removal and Installation".

3.INSPECTION WITH CHARGE WARNING LAMP (IDLING)

Start the engine and run it at idle Does the charge warning lamp turn OFF? YES >> GO TO 4.

NO >> GO TO 5.

4.INSPECTION WITH CHARGE WARNING LAMP (ENGINE AT 2,500 RPM)

Increase and maintain the engine speed at 2,500 rpm.

Does the charge warning lamp illuminate? YES >> GO TO 5.

NO >> Inspection End.

5.MEASURE “B” TERMINAL VOLTAGE

Start engine. With engine running at 2,500 rpm, measure “B” terminal voltage.

What voltage does the measurement result show? Less than 13.0 V>>GO TO 6.

More than 16.0 V>>Replace generator. Refer to CHG-20, "Removal and Installation".

6.“B” TERMINAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION

Check “B” terminal circuit. Refer to CHG-18, "Diagnosis Procedure".
