[6] ALTERNATOR
Preparation
1. Disconnect the 2P connector (3) from alternator after turning the
main switch OFF .
2. Perform the following checkings.
W1030485
Connector Voltage
1. Turn off the main switch. Measure the voltage between the
terminal B (1) and the chassis.
2. Turn on the main switch. Measure the voltage between the
terminal IG (3) and the chassis.
W1030607
No-Load Test
1. Connect the 2P connector (6) to previous positions of the
alternator after turning off the main switch.
2. Connect the jumper lead (3) between terminal IG (4) and terminal
B (2).
3. Start the engine and then set at idling speed.
4. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
5. Measure the voltage between the terminal
B (2) and the chassis.
6. If the measurement is less than the factory specifications,
disassemble the alternator and check the IC regulator.
(Reference)
• Once the engine has started, the alternator temperature rises
quickly up to an ambient temperature of 70 to 90 °C (158 to 194
°F). As the temperature goes higher than 50 °C (122 °F), the
alternator voltage slowly drops; at higher than 100 °C (212 °F), it
drops by about 1 V.
