Power Generation Voltage Variable Control System Operation Inspection
POWER GENERATION VOLTAGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION Inspection
Inspection Procedure
CAUTION: When performing this Inspection, always use a charged battery that has completed the battery Inspection. (When the charging rate of the battery is low, the response speed of the voltage change will become slow. This can cause an incorrect Inspection.) 1.CHECK ECM (CONSULT-III)
Perform ECM self-diagnosis with CONSULT-III. Refer to (QR25DE for California), (QR25DE except for California) or See: Powertrain Management\Computers and Control Systems\Testing and Inspection\Scan Tool Testing and Procedures\On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System\CONSULT-III Function(VQ35DE).
Self-diagnostic results content
No malfunction detected>> GO TO 2
Malfunction detected>> Check applicable parts, and repair or replace corresponding parts. 2.CHECK OPERATION OF POWER GENERATION VOLTAGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM
Connect CONSULT-III and start the engine.
The selector lever is in "P" or "N" position and all of the electric loads and A/C, etc. are turned OFF.
Select "ALTERNATOR DUTY" in "Active Test" of "ENGINE", and then check the value of "BATTERY VOLT" monitor when DUTY value of "ALTERNATOR DUTY" is set to 40.0 %.
Check the value of "BATTERY VOLT" monitor when DUTY value of "ALTERNATOR DUTY" is set to 80.0%.
