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 harness side.
  • Ignition switch: ON
  • Voltage between terminal No. 3 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 B-19, 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-30 (terminal No. 3) alternator connector and C-303 (terminal No. 2) ignition switch connector.
    • Check power supply line for open/short circuit.
NO:  Repair.
   
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 6 .
NO:  Repair.
   
  • Disconnect connector, and measure at harness side.
  • Ignition switch: ON
  • Voltage between terminal No. 45 and earth.
OK: System voltage
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 8 .
NO:  Go to Step 7 .
       
  • Check output line for open/short circuit.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  replace alternator.
NO:  Repair.
   
  • Measure engine-A/T-ECU terminal voltage.
  • Engine: Idling after warm-up
  • Transmission: P range
  • Radiator fan: Inactive
  • Voltage between terminal No. 45 and earth.
OK: Switching the headlamps to ON from OFF causes the voltage to increase.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 9 .
NO: 
  • Replace alternator.
