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

   1. Perform the preliminary inspection. Refer to Diagnosis Procedure.

   >>

   GO TO 2.

2. STOP POWER GENERATION VOLTAGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM

   1. CONSULT

      Stop 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.]
