CHARGING
DESCRIPTION
The charging system consists of:
•
Generator
•
Generator decoupler pulley (if equipped)
•
Electronic Voltage Regulator (EVR) circuitry within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
•
Ignition switch
•
Battery (refer to Battery for information)
•
Battery temperature sensor
•
Generator lamp (if equipped)
•
Check gauges lamp (if equipped)
•
Voltmeter (refer to Instrument Cluster for information)
•
Wiring harness and connections (refer to Wiring for information)
OPERATION
The charging system is turned on and off with the ignition switch. The system is on when the engine is running and
the ASD relay is energized. When the ASD relay is on, voltage is supplied to the ASD relay sense circuit at the
PCM. This voltage is connected through the PCM and supplied to one of the generator field terminals (Gen. Source
+) at the back of the generator.
The amount of DC current produced by the generator is controlled by the EVR (field control) circuitry contained
within the PCM. This circuitry is connected in series with the second rotor field terminal and ground.
A battery temperature sensor, located in the battery tray housing, is used to sense battery temperature. This tem-
perature data, along with data from monitored line voltage, is used by the PCM to vary the battery charging rate.
This is done by cycling the ground path to control the strength of the rotor magnetic field. The PCM then compen-
sates and regulates generator current output accordingly.
All vehicles are equipped with On-Board Diagnostics (OBD). All OBD-sensed systems, including EVR (field control)
circuitry, are monitored by the PCM. Each monitored circuit is assigned a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The PCM
will store a DTC in electronic memory for certain failures it detects.
The Check Gauges Lamp (if equipped) monitors: charging system voltage, engine coolant temperature and
engine oil pressure. If an extreme condition is indicated, the lamp will be illuminated. This is done as a reminder to
check the three gauges. The signal to activate the lamp is sent via the CAN bus circuits. The lamp is located on the
instrument panel. Refer to Instrument Cluster for additional information.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHARGING SYSTEM
The following procedures may be used to diagnose the charging system if:
•
the check gauges lamp (if equipped) is illuminated with the engine running
•
the voltmeter (if equipped) does not register properly
•
an undercharged or overcharged battery condition occurs.
Remember that an undercharged battery is often caused by:
•
accessories being left on with the engine not running
•
a faulty or improperly adjusted switch that allows a lamp to stay on. Refer to Ignition-Off Draw Test in the
Battery section for more information.
INSPECTION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors critical input and output circuits of the charging system, making sure
they are operational. A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is assigned to each input and output circuit monitored by the
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system. Some charging system circuits are checked continuously, and some are
checked only under certain conditions.
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Codes in; Powertrain Control Module; Electronic Control Modules for more DTC infor-
mation. This will include a complete list of DTC’s including DTC’s for the charging system.
To perform a complete test of the charging system, refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Test Procedures and use a
diagnostic scan tool. Perform the following inspections before attaching the scan tool.
1. Inspect the battery condition. Refer to Battery for procedures.
2. Inspect condition of battery cable terminals, battery posts, connections at engine block, starter solenoid and
relay. They should be clean and tight. Repair as required.
3. Inspect all fuses in both the fuseblock and Power Distribution Center (PDC) for tightness in receptacles. They
should be properly installed and tight. Repair or replace as required.
4. Inspect generator mounting bolts for tightness. Replace or tighten bolts if required. Refer to the Generator
Removal/Installation section of this group for torque specifications.
5. Inspect generator drive belt condition and tension. Tighten or replace belt as required. Refer to Belt Tension
Specifications in Cooling System.
6.
Inspect automatic belt tensioner (if equipped). Refer to Cooling System for information.
7. Inspect generator electrical connections at generator field, battery output, and ground terminal (if equipped). Also
check generator ground wire connection at engine (if equipped). They should all be clean and tight. Repair as
required.

SENSOR-BATTERY TEMPERATURE
DESCRIPTION
The Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) (2) is attached
to the battery tray (4) located under the battery.
OPERATION
The Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) is used to determine the battery temperature and control battery charging
rate. This temperature data, along with data from monitored line voltage, is used by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) to vary the battery charging rate. System voltage will be higher at colder temperatures and is gradually
reduced at warmer temperatures.
The PCM sends 5 volts to the sensor and is grounded through the sensor return line. As temperature increases,
resistance in the sensor decreases and the detection voltage at the PCM increases.
The BTS is also used for OBD II diagnostics. Certain faults and OBD II monitors are either enabled or disabled,
depending upon BTS input (for example, disable purge and enable Leak Detection Pump (LDP) and O2 sensor
heater tests). Most OBD II monitors are disabled below 20 degrees F.

REMOVAL
The battery temperature sensor (2) is located under
vehicle battery and is attached to a mounting hole on
battery tray (4).
1. Remove battery. Refer to Battery for procedures.
2. Disconnect sensor (2) from engine wire harness
(3).
3. Pry sensor straight up from battery tray mounting
hole.
INSTALLATION
1. Feed engine wire harness (3) through hole in top of
battery tray and attach sensor (2).
2. Press sensor (2) into hole of battery tray (4).
3. Install battery. Refer to Battery for procedures.
GENERATOR
DESCRIPTION
The generator is belt-driven by the engine using a serpentine type drive belt. It is serviced only as a complete
assembly. If the generator fails for any reason, the entire assembly must be replaced.
OPERATION
As the energized rotor begins to rotate within the generator, the spinning magnetic field induces a current into the
windings of the stator coil. Once the generator begins producing sufficient current, it also provides the current
needed to energize the rotor.
The stator winding connections deliver the induced alternating current to 3 positive and 3 negative diodes for rec-
tification. From the diodes, rectified direct current is delivered to the vehicle electrical system through the generator
battery terminal.
