symptom, not as the cause for the problem. In some
cases, because of the design of the diagnostic test
procedure, a DTC can be the reason for another DTC
to be set. Therefore, it is important that the test pro-
cedures be followed in sequence, to understand what
caused a DTC to be set.

See the Generator Diagnostic Trouble Code chart

(Fig. 7) for DTC’s which apply to the charging sys-
tem. Refer to the Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures
manual to diagnose an on-board diagnostic system
trouble code.

RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

To start this function, cycle the ignition switch ON-

OFF-ON-OFF-ON within 5 seconds. This will cause
any DTC stored in the PCM memory to be displayed.
The malfunction indicator (Check Engine) lamp will
display a DTC by flashing on and off. There is a
short pause between flashes and a longer pause
between digits. All DTC’s displayed are two-digit
numbers, with a four-second pause between codes.

An example of a DTC is as follows:
(1) Lamp on for 2 seconds, then turns off.
(2) Lamp flashes 4 times pauses and then flashes

1 time.

(3) Lamp pauses for 4 seconds, flashes 4 times,

pauses, then flashes 7 times.

(4) The two DTC’s are 41 and 47. Any number of

DTC’s can be displayed, as long as they are in mem-
ory. The lamp will flash until all stored DTC’s are
displayed, then it will flash a DTC 55 to indicate the
test is complete.

ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

The DRB Scan Tool must be used to erase a DTC.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

GENERATOR

REMOVAL

(1) Disconnect battery negative cable (Fig. 8).

(2) Loosen but DO NOT remove the generator

adjustment nut.

(3) Raise vehicle with front wheels turned fully to

the right.

(4) Remove the plastic lower splash shield.
(5) Disconnect the generator field circuit wiring

connector (Fig. 11). Squeeze locking tab to release.

(6) Remove the B+ terminal nut and wire.
(7) Loosen pivot bolt, but do not remove (Fig. 10)

and (Fig. 11).
