REGULATED VOLTAGE TEST
M1161001102424
Required Special Tools:
• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
• MB991824: V.C.I.
• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A
• MB991519: Generator Harness Connector
This test determines whether the voltage regulator is
correctly controlling the generator output voltage.
WARNING
Battery posts, terminals and related acces-
sories contain lead and lead compounds.
WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING.
1. Always be sure to check the following before the
test:
• Generator installation
• Check to be sure that the battery installed in the
vehicle is fully charged. (Refer to GROUP 54A,
Chassis Electrical
− Battery − On-vehicle Service
− Battery Check
• Generator drive belt tension (Refer to GROUP
00, General
− Maintenance Service − Drive Belts
(For Generator, Water Pump, Power Steering Oil
Pump) (Check Condition)
• Fusible link
• Abnormal noise from the generator while the
engine is running.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
4. Use the special tool (Generator harness
connector: MB991519) to connect a digital-type
voltmeter between the generator "S" terminal and
ground. (Connect the positive lead of the
voltmeter to the "S" terminal, and then connect the
negative lead of the voltmeter to a secure ground
or to the negative battery terminal.)
5. Connect a clamp-type DC test ammeter to the
generator "B" terminal output wire.
6. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
7. Connect an engine tachometer, or scan tool
MB991958.
8. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and
check that the reading on the voltmeter is equal to
the battery positive voltage.
NOTE: If the voltage is 0 V, the cause is probably
an open circuit in the wire or fusible link between
the generator "S" terminal and the battery positive
terminal or malfunctioning voltmeter.

9. Check to be sure that all lights and accessories
are off.
10.Start the engine.
NOTE: Do not drive the vehicle after the engine
starts.
11.Increase the engine speed to 2,500 r/min.
12.Read the value displayed on the voltmeter when
the current output by the generator becomes 15 A
or less.
13.If the voltage reading conforms to the value in the
voltage regulation table, then the voltage regulator
is operating normally.
If the voltage is outside the standard value, there
is a malfunction of the voltage regulator or the
generator (Refer to the following table).
14.After the test, lower the engine speed to idle.
15.Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
16.Disconnect the engine tachometer or scan tool
MB991958.
17.Disconnect the negative battery cable.
18.Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
19.Remove the special tool (Generator harness
connector: MB991519), and return the connector
to the original condition.
20.Connect the negative battery cable.
21.Run the engine for 10 minutes at an idle.

STANDARD WAVEFORM
NOTE: The voltage waveform of the generator "B" terminal can
undulate as shown at left. This waveform is produced when the
regulator operates according to fluctuations in the generator
load (current), and is normal for the generator.
If the ripple height is abnormally high (approximately 2 V or
more during idling), the wires between the generator "B" termi-
nal and the battery have broken due to fuse blowing, etc. The
generator is usually operating properly.

ABNORMAL WAVEFORMS EXAMPLES
NOTE: The size of the waveform patterns can differ greatly,
depending on the adjustment of the variable knob on the oscil-
loscope.
NOTE: Identification of abnormal waveforms is easier when
there is a large output current (regulator is not operating).
(Waveforms can be observed when the headlights are illumi-
nated.)
NOTE: Check the conditions of the generator malfunction light
(illuminated/not illuminated) also, and carry out a total check.
ABNORMAL WAVEFORMS
• Example 1
PROBABLE CAUSE: Open circuit in diode
• Example 2
PROBABLE CAUSE: Short-circuit in diode
• Example 3
PROBABLE CAUSE: Open circuit in stator coil
