ENGINE ELECTRICAL - Charging System |
|
|
The charging system uses the alternator output to keep the battery charged at a constant level under various electrical loads.
Voltage
Approximately
14.4 V
OPERATION
Rotation of the excited field coil generates AC voltage in the stator.
This alternating current is rectified through diodes to DC voltage having a waveform shown in the illustration at left. The average output voltage fluctuates slightly with the alternator load condition.
Time
When the ignition switch is turned on, current flows in the field coil and initial excitation of the field coil occurs.
When the stator coil begins to generate power after the engine is started, the field coil is excited by the output current of the stator coil.
The alternator output voltage rises as the field current increases and it falls as the field current decreases. When the battery voltage (alternator S terminal voltage) reaches a regulated voltage
of approximately 14.4 V, the field current is cut off. When the battery voltage drops below the regulated voltage, the voltage regulator regulates the output voltage to a constant level by controlling the field current.
In addition, when the field current is constant, the alternator output voltage rises as the engine speed increases.

This test determines whether the wiring from the alternator “B” terminal to the battery (+) terminal (including the fusible line) is in a good condition or not.
(1)Always be sure to check the following before the test.
D Alternator installation
D Alternator drive belt tension
(Refer to GROUP 11 - On-vehicle Service.) D Fusible link
D Abnormal noise from the alternator while the engine is running
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF) position.
(3)Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(4)Disconnect the alternator output wire from the alternator “B” terminal and connect a DC test ammeter with a range of 0 - 100 A in series
between the “B” terminal and the disconnected output wire. (Connect the (+) lead of the ammeter to the “B” terminal, and then connect the (-) lead of the ammeter to the disconnected output wire.)
NOTE
An inductive-type ammeter which enables measurements to be taken without disconnecting the alternator output wire should be recommended. Using this equipment will lessen the possibility of a voltage drop caused by a loose “B” terminal connection.
(5)Connect a digital-type voltmeter between the alternator “B” terminal and the battery (+) terminal. (Connect the (+) lead of the voltmeter to the “B” terminal and the connect the (-) lead of the voltmeter to the battery (+) cable.)

|
(6)Reconnect the negative battery cable.
(7)Connect a tachometer or the MUT-II. (Refer to GROUP 11 - On-vehicle Service.)
(8)Leave the hood open.
(9)Start the engine.
(10)With the engine running at 2,500 r/min, turn the headlamps and other lamps on and off to adjust the alternator load so that the value displayed on the ammeter is slightly above 30 A.
Adjust the engine speed by gradually decreasing it until the value displayed on the ammeter is 30 A. Take a reading of the value displayed on the voltmeter at this time.
Limit: max. 0.3 V
NOTE
When the alternator output is high and the value displayed on the ammeter does not decrease until 30 A, set the value to 40 A. Read the value displayed on the voltmeter at this time. When the value range is 40 A, the limit is max. 0.4 V.
(11)If the value displayed on the voltmeter is above the limit value, there is probably a malfunction in the alternator output wire, so check the wiring between the alternator “B” terminal and the battery (+) terminal (including fusible link).
If a terminal is not sufficiently tight or if the harness has become discolored due to overheating, repair and then test again.
(12)After the test, run the engine at idle. (13)Turn off all lamps and the ignition switch. (14)Remove the tachometer or the MUT-II. (15)Disconnect the negative battery cable. (16)Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter. (17)Connect the alternator output wire to the
alternator “B” terminal.
(18)Connect the negative battery cable.

This test determines whether the alternator output current is normal.
(1)Before the test, always be sure to check the following.
D Alternator installation
D Battery (Refer to GROUP 54 - Battery.)
NOTE
The battery should be slightly discharged. The load needed by a fully-charged battery is insufficient for an accurate test.
DAlternator drive belt tension
(Refer to GROUP 11 - On-vehicle Service.)
D Fusible link
DAbnormal noise from the alternator while the engine is running.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF) position.
(3)Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(4)Disconnect the alternator output wire from the alternator “B” terminal. Connect a DC test ammeter with a range of 0 - 100 A in series between the “B” terminal and the disconnected output wire. (Connect the (+) lead of the ammeter to the “B” terminal. Connect the (-) lead of the ammeter to the disconnected output wire.)
Caution
Never use clips but tighten bolts and nuts to connect the line. Otherwise loose connections (e.g. using clips) will lead to a serious accident because of high current.
NOTE
An inductive-type ammeter which enables measurements to be taken without disconnecting the alternator output wire should be recommended.
(5)Connect a voltmeter with a range of 0 - 20 V between the alternator “B” terminal and the earth. (Connect the (+) lead of the voltmeter to the “B” terminal, and then connect the (-) lead of the voltmeter to the earth.)
(6)Connect the negative battery cable.
(7)Connect a tachometer or the MUT-II. (Refer to GROUP 11 - On-vehicle Service.)
(8)Leave the hood open.
(9)Check that the reading on the voltmeter is equal to the battery voltage.
NOTE
If the voltage is 0 V, the cause is probably an open circuit in the wire or fusible link between the alternator “B” terminal and the battery (+) terminal.
(10)Turn the light switch on to turn on headlamps and then start the engine.
(11)Immediately after setting the headlamps to high beam and turning the heater blower switch to the high revolution position, increase the engine speed to 2,500 r/min and read the maximum current output value displayed on the ammeter.
Limit: 70 % of normal current output
NOTE
D For the nominal current output, refer to the Alternator Specifications.
DBecause the current from the battery will soon drop after the engine is started, the
above step should be carried out as quickly as possible in order to obtain the maximum current output value.
DThe current output value will depend on the electrical load and the temperature of
the alternator body.
DIf the electrical load is small while testing, the specified level of current may not be output even though the alternator is normal. In such cases, increase the electrical load by leaving the headlamps turned on for some time to discharge the battery or by using the lighting system in another vehicle,
and then test again.
DThe specified level of current also may not be output if the temperature of the alternator body or the ambient temperature is too high. In such cases, cool the alternator and then test again.
(12)The reading on the ammeter should be above the limit value. If the reading is below the limit value and the alternator output wire is normal, remove the alternator from the engine and check the alternator.
(13)Run the engine at idle after the test. (14)Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF)
position.
(15)Remove the tachometer or the MUT-II. (16)Disconnect the negative battery cable. (17)Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
(18)Connect the alternator output wire to the alternator “B” terminal.
(19)Connect the negative battery cable.

Time
NOTE
The voltage waveform of the alternator B terminal can undulate as shown at left. This waveform is produced when the regulator operates according to fluctuations in the alternator load (current), and is normal for the alternator.
In addition, when the voltage waveform reaches an excessively high value (approximately 2 V or higher at idle), it often indicates an open circuit due to a brown fuse between alternator B terminal and battery, but not a defective alternator.

EXAMPLES OF ABNORMAL WAVEFORMS
NOTE
1.The size of the waveform patterns differs largely, depending on the adjustment of the variable knob on the analyzer.
2.Identification of abnormal waveforms is easier when there is a large output current (regulator is not operating). (Waveforms can be observed when the headlamps are illuminated.)
3.Check the conditions of the charging warning lamp (illuminated/not illuminated). Also, check the charging system totally.
