    2. A011A0XE02

      Using an oscilloscope, check the signal waveform of the ECU.

      Tech Tips

      The oscilloscope waveform shown in the illustration is an example for reference only. Waveforms with noise or chattering are not shown.


      1. Waveform 1

        Tester Connection Tool Setting Vehicle Condition Specified Condition
        D37-14 (RLO) - D39-12 (GND) 2 V/DIV., 50 msec./DIV. After engine warmed up, during charging control, vehicle driven at constant speed Correct waveform as shown in illustration

        Tech Tips

        As the duty cycle changes in accordance with the electrical load and battery condition, the output waveform also changes.
