COMMENT ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
  • Failure is possibly caused by failed alternator, failed generation control circuit or other faults.
PROBABLE CAUSE
  • Failed battery
  • Alternator G terminal short-circuited
  • Failed alternator
  • Failed engine-A/T-ECU
   
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 3 .
NO:  Repair.
   
  • Disconnect connector, and measure at male connector side.
  • Ignition switch: ON
  • Voltage between terminal No. 5 and earth.
OK: System voltage
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 5 .
NO:  Go to Step 4 .
       
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: 
  • Check intermediate connectors C-04, C-05, C-105, C-203 and C-205, and repair if necessary. If intermediate connectors are normal, check and repair harness between B-19 (terminal No. 5) intermediate connector and C-303 (terminal No. 2) ignition switch connector.
    • Check power supply line for open/short circuit.
NO:  Repair.
   
  • Disconnect connector, and measure at female connector side.
  • Ignition switch: ON
  • Voltage between terminal No. 4 and earth.
OK: System voltage
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 10 .
NO:  Go to Step 6 .
   
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 7 .
NO:  Repair.
       
  • Check output line for short circuit.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 8 .
NO:  Repair.
       
  • Check power supply line for open/short circuit.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 9 .
NO:  Repair.
           
NOTE: Before checking harness, check intermediate connectors C-04, C-05, C-105, C-203 and C-205, and repair if necessary.
  • Check power supply line for damage.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Replace alternator.
NO:  Repair.
       
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 11 .
NO:  Repair.
           
  • Disconnect connector, and measure at harness side.
  • Ignition switch: ON
  • Voltage between terminal No. 8 and earth.
OK: System voltage
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 12 .
NO: 
  • Check and repair harness between B-19 (terminal No. 4) intermediate connector and C-112 (terminal No. 8) engine-A/T-ECU connector.
    • Check output line for short circuit.
       
  • Measure engine-A/T-ECU terminal voltage.
  • Engine: Idling after warm-up
  • Selector lever position: P
  • Radiator fan: Inactive
  • Voltage between terminal No. 8 and earth.
OK: Switching the headlamps to ON from OFF causes the voltage to increase by 0.2 - 3.5 V.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 13 .
NO: 
  • Check alternator.
