Test H: Charging System Warning Indicator Is Off With Ignition Switch In Run Position With Engine Off (2.0L)

  1. Check For Fault Codes In PCM  - Connect Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS) tester, or equivalent, and retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). See RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Diagnose/repair any DTCs as necessary. If no DTCs are present, disconnect WDS tester and go to next step.
  2. Check Charging System Warning Indicator Operation  - Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect generator 3-pin connector X-102a. See Figure. Connect fused (15-amp) jumper wire between generator connector terminal No 1. (Grey/Orange wire) and ground. Turn ignition switch to ON position, engine off (KOEO), while observing charging system warning indicator. If charging system warning indicator illuminates, replace generator. See GENERATOR  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If charging system warning indicator does not illuminate, go to next step.
  3. Check For Correct PCM Operation  - Disconnect Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connectors, located on engine firewall. Inspect terminals for corrosion, pushed out terminals or damage. Repair connectors if necessary. Reconnect PCM and generator connectors and retest system. If problem still exists, replace PCM.
