Work Flow (with 165-Dss-5000p)
CHARGING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS WITH 165-DSS-5000P
To test the charging system, use the following special service tool:
-
165-DSS-5000P battery and electrical diagnostic analyzer
Refer to the applicable Instruction Manual for proper charging system diagnosis procedures.
OVERALL SEQUENCE
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.
-
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
-
Perform the preliminary inspection. Refer to Diagnosis Procedure.
GO TO 2.
-
-
STOP POWER GENERATION VOLTAGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM
-
Stop the operation of the power generation voltage variable control in either of the following procedures.
CONSULT-
After selecting “ENGINE”, set the DUTY value of “ALTERNATOR DUTY” to 0 % by selecting “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.)
-
Ignition switch OFF, and disconnect the battery current sensor connector. [However, DTC (P1550–P1554) of the engine might remain. After finishing the inspection, connect the battery current sensor connector and erase the self diagnosis results history of the engine using CONSULT.]
-
GO TO 3.

STOP POWER GENERATION VOLTAGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM
-
CONSULTStop the operation of the power generation voltage variable control in either of the following procedures:
-
After selecting “ENGINE”, set the DUTY value of “ALTERNATOR DUTY” to 0 % by selecting “ALTERNATOR DUTY” with “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.)
-
Ignition switch OFF, and disconnect the battery current sensor connector. [However, DTC (P1550 - P1554) of the engine might remain. After finishing the inspection, connect the battery current sensor connector and erase the self-diagnostic results history of the engine.]
-
GO TO 3.
-
-
