System Description

NLSC0009

The alternator provides DC voltage to operate the vehicle’s electrical system and to keep the battery charged.
The voltage output is controlled by the IC regulator.
Power is supplied at all times to alternator terminal 4 (S) through:

10A fuse (No. 33, located in the fuse and fusible link box).

Terminal B supplies power to charge the battery and operate the vehicle’s electrical system. Output voltage
is controlled by the IC regulator at terminal 4 (S) detecting the input voltage. The charging circuit is protected
by the 80A (QG engine models except for Northen Europe and cold spec.) or 100A (SR, YD engine models
and QG engine models for Northen Europe and cold spec.) fusible link.
The alternator is grounded to the engine block.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse [No. 30, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to combination meter terminal 9

Ground is supplied to terminal 22 of the combination meter through terminal 3 (L) of the alternator. With power
and ground supplied, the charge warning lamp will illuminate. When the alternator is providing sufficient volt-
age with the engine running, the ground is opened and the charge warning lamp will go off.
If the charge warning lamp illuminates with the engine running, a fault is indicated.

Trouble Diagnoses

NLSC0011

Before conducting an alternator test, make sure that the battery is fully charged. A 30-volt voltmeter and suit-
able test probes are necessary for the test. The alternator can be checked easily by referring to the Inspec-
tion Table.

Before starting, inspect the fusible link.

Use fully charged battery.

WITH IC REGULATOR

NLSC0011S01

SEL338V

NOTE:

If the inspection result is OK even though the charging system is malfunctioning, check the B terminal
connection. (Check the tightening torque.)

When field circuit is open, check condition of rotor coil, rotor slip ring and brush. If necessary, replace faulty
parts with new ones.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR

NLSC0011S02

The IC regulator warning function activates to illuminate “CHARGE” warning lamp, if any of the following
symptoms occur while alternator is operating:

Excessive voltage is produced.

No voltage is produced.

CAUTION:

Rear cover may be hard to remove because a ring is used to
lock outer race of rear bearing. To facilitate removal of rear
cover, heat just bearing box section with a 200W soldering
iron.
Do not use a heat gun, as it can damage diode assembly.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse rear bearing after removal. Replace with a
new one.

Do not lubricate rear bearing outer race.
