TROUBLESHOOTING

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MPI)

13A-203

Code No. P0622: Alternator FR Terminal System

OPERATION

• The energized state of the alternator field coil is

inputted from the alternator (terminal No. 4) to the
engine-ECU (terminal No. 52).

FUNCTION

• A signal of the power supply duty ratio for the

alternator field coil is inputted to the engine-ECU.

• In response to the signal, the engine-ECU

detects the alternator output current and controls
the idling speed according to the output current
(electric load).

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

Check Condition

• Engine speed is 50 r/min. or more.

Judgment Criterion

• Input voltage from alternator FR terminal is the

system voltage or more for 20 seconds.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Open circuit in alternator FR terminal circuit

• Failed engine-ECU

STEP 4. Check harness between B-14 (terminal
No. 5) intermediate connector and C-119
(terminal No. 52) engine-ECU connector.

• Check output line for short circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5 .

NO :

Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 5. Check the trouble symptoms.

Q: Does trouble symptom persist?

YES :

Replace the engine-ECU.

NO :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP
00

− How to Use

Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

P.00-5

).

STEP 6. Perform voltage measurement at B-14
intermediate connector.

• Use special tool test harness (MB991658) to con-

nect connector, and measure at pick-up harness.

• Ignition switch: "ON"

• Voltage between terminal No. 5 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 9 .

NO :

Go to Step 7 .

STEP 7. Connector check: B-25 alternator
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 8 .

NO :

Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 8. Check harness between B-25 (terminal
No. 4) alternator connector and B-14 (terminal
No. 5) intermediate connector.

• Check output line for short circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Replace the alternator.

NO :

Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 9. Perform voltage measurement at B-14
intermediate connector.

• Use special tool test harness (MB991658) to con-

nect connector, and measure at pick-up harness.

• Engine: Idle after warm-up

• Transmission: Neutral

• Radiator fan: Inactive

• Voltage between terminal No. 5 and earth.

OK: Switching the headlamps to ON from
OFF causes the voltage to fall.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5 .

NO :

Go to Step 10 .

STEP 10. Connector check: B-25 alternator
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?
