DTC Diagnosis Procedure

The terminal "2" (L) circuit controls the charge warning lamp. The charge warning lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is set to ON or START. When the generator is providing sufficient voltage with the engine running, the charge warning lamp will go off. If the charge warning lamp illuminates with the engine running, a malfunction is indicated.

1. CHECK "L" TERMINAL CONNECTION 
   1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
   2. Check if "L" terminal is clean and tight.

   Is the inspection result normal?

   YES

   GO TO 2.

   NO

   Repair "L" terminal connection. Confirm repair by performing system test using the DSS-5000P NI. Refer to applicable Instruction Manual for proper testing procedures.

2. CHECK "L" TERMINAL CIRCUIT (OPEN) 
   1. Disconnect the generator connector.
   2. Apply ground to generator harness connector terminal.
   3. Check condition of the charge warning lamp with the ignition switch in the ON position.

      Generator		Ground	Condition
      Connector	Terminal		Ignition switch position	Charge warning lamp
      E205	2		ON	Illuminate

   Does it illuminate?

   YES

   "L" terminal circuit is normal. Refer to Work Flow (With DSS-5000P NI) or Work Flow (Without DSS-5000P NI) .

   NO

   GO TO 3.

3. CHECK HARNESS CONTINUITY (OPEN CIRCUIT) 
   1. Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
   2. Disconnect the combination meter connector.
   3. Check continuity between generator harness connector and combination meter harness connector.

      Generator		Combination meter		Continuity
      Connector	Terminal	Connector	Terminal
      E205	2	M23	30	Yes

   Is the inspection result normal?

   YES

   GO TO 4.

   NO

   Repair or replace the harness or connectors.

4. CHECK HARNESS CONTINUITY (OPEN CIRCUIT) 

   Check continuity between combination meter harness connector and fuse block (J/B).

   Combination meter		Fuse block (J/B)		Continuity
   Connector	Terminal	Connector	Terminal
   M23	32	M39	1Q	Yes

   Is the inspection result normal?

   YES

   GO TO 5.

   NO

   Repair or replace the harness or connectors.

5. CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
   1. Connect the battery cable to the negative terminal.
   2. Check voltage between combination meter harness connector and ground.

      (+)		(-)	Condition	Voltage (Approx.)
      Combination meter
      Connector	Terminal
      M23	32	Ground	When the ignition switch is in ON position	Battery voltage

   Is the inspection result normal?

   YES

   Replace the combination meter. Refer to Removal and Installation .

   NO

   Repair or replace the harness or connectors.
