CHARGING SYSTEM
Tech Tips
The standard voltage between each pair of the ECM terminals is shown in the table below. The appropriate conditions for checking each pair of the terminals are also indicated.
The result of checks should be compared with the standard voltage for that pair of terminals, displayed in the Specified Condition column.
The illustration above can be used as a reference to identify the ECM terminal locations.
| Symbol (Terminal No.) | Wiring Color | Terminal Description | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A8-20 (BATT) - D1-81 (E1) | V - BR | Battery (for measuring the battery voltage and for the ECM memory) | Always | 11 to 14 V |
| D1-81 (E1) - Body ground | BR - - | Earth (ground) circuit of ECM | Always | Below 1 V |
| D1-80 (VCIB) - D1-101 (EIB) | LG - P | Battery current sensor assembly | Engine switch on (IG) | 4.5 to 5.5 V |
| D1-100 (IB) - D1-101 (EIB) | R - P | Battery current sensor assembly | Engine switch on (IG) | 0.5 to 4.5 V |
| D1-103 (THB) - D1-101 (EIB) | G-R - P | Battery current sensor assembly | Engine switch on (IG) | 0.5 to 4.5 V |
| D1-32 (ALT) - D1-81 (E1) | P - BR | Generator | Engine switch on (IG) | 11 to 14 V |
| D1-31 (RLO) - D1-81 (E1) | Y - BR | Generator | After engine warmed up, during charging control, vehicle driven at constant speed | Pulse generation (see waveform 1) |
| D1-31 (RLO) - D1-81 (E1) | Y - BR | Generator | After engine warmed up, during charging control, vehicle accelerated | Pulse generation (see waveform 2) |
| D1-31 (RLO) - D1-81 (E1) | Y - BR | Generator | After engine warmed up, during charging control, vehicle decelerated | Pulse generation (see waveform 3) |
WAVEFORM 1
| Symbol (Terminal No.) | Between RLO and E1 |
| Tester Range | 2 V/DIV., 50 msec./DIV. |
| Condition | After engine warmed up, during charging control, vehicle driven at constant speed |
Tech Tips
A constant value is not output, as the duty ratio varies depending on the electrical load and battery condition.
WAVEFORM 2
| Symbol (Terminal No.) | Between RLO and E1 |
| Tester Range | 2 V/DIV., 50 msec./DIV. |
| Condition | After engine warmed up, during charging control, vehicle accelerated |
Tech Tips
A constant value is not output, as the duty ratio varies depending on the electrical load and battery condition.
WAVEFORM 3
| Symbol (Terminal No.) | Between RLO and E1 |
| Tester Range | 2 V/DIV., 50 msec./DIV. |
| Condition | After engine warmed up, during charging control, vehicle decelerated |
Tech Tips
A constant value is not output, as the duty ratio varies depending on the electrical load and battery condition.
