DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORKFLOW

NOTE:
To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter and alternator test segments must be done
as a set from start to finish.

1.

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION

Perform the preliminary inspection. Refer to 

CHG-24, "Inspection Procedure"

.

>> GO TO 2.

2.

STOP POWER GENERATION VOLTAGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM

Stop the operation of the power generation voltage variable control in either of the following procedures.
• After selecting “ENGINE” of “SELECT SYSTEM” using CONSULT-III, 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 voltage regulator of the alternator.)

• Turn the 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 connec-
tor and erase the self-diagnostic results history of the engine using CONSULT-III.]

>> GO TO 3.

3.

DIAGNOSIS WITH STARTING/CHARGING SYSTEM TESTER

Perform the charging system test using Starting/Charging System Tester (SST: J-44373). For details and oper-
ating instructions, refer to Technical Service Bulletin.

Test result

CHARGING SYSTEM NORMAL>>Charging system is normal and will also show “DIODE RIPPLE” test

result.

NO CHARGING VOLTAGE>>GO TO 4.
LOW CHARGING VOLTAGE>>GO TO 12.
HIGH CHARGING VOLTAGE>>GO TO 14.
DIODE RIPPLE NORMAL>>Diode ripple is OK and will also show “CHARGING VOLTAGE” test result.
EXCESS RIPPLE DETECTED>>Replace the alternator. Perform “DIODE RIPPLE” test again using Starting/

Charging System Tester (SST: J-44373) to confirm repair.

DIODE RIPPLE NOT DETECTED>>GO TO 4.

4.

INSPECTION WITH CHARGE WARNING LAMP (IGNITION SWITCH IS ON)

Turn the ignition switch ON.

Does the charge warning lamp illuminate?

YES

>> GO TO 6.

NO

>> GO TO 5.

5.

“L” TERMINAL CIRCUIT (OPEN) INSPECTION

Check “L” terminal circuit (open). Refer to 

CHG-11, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

Is the “L” terminal circuit normal?

YES

>> Replace alternator.

NO

>> Repair as needed.

6.

INSPECTION WITH CHARGE WARNING LAMP (IDLING)

Start the engine and run it at idle.

Does the charge warning lamp turn OFF?

YES

>> GO TO 9.

NO

>> GO TO 7.

7.

“L” TERMINAL CIRCUIT (SHORT) INSPECTION

Check “L” terminal circuit (short). Refer to 

CHG-13, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

Is the “L” terminal circuit normal?

YES

>> GO TO 8.

NO

>> Repair as needed.
