The I (ignition) circuit is used to turn on the voltage regulator. This circuit is powered up when the key is in the ON position. Voltage is supplied from the ignition switch to the central junction box (CJB) fuse 45 (10A), then to the instrument cluster and through the charge warning indicator (battery icon) to the generator. This circuit is also used to turn the charging system warning indicator on if there is a fault in the charging system operation.
