Conditions for Setting the DTC

One of the following conditions exist:

* The engine is OFF, and the GEN F-Terminal Signal is greater than 65 percent for 15 seconds.

* The engine is running, and the GEN F-Terminal Signal is less than 5 percent for 30 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The charge indicator turns ON.

* The driver information center (DIC) displays the SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The DTC will pass when the condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

* A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction.

* The charge indicator and DIC message will remain ON until the DTC passes or is cleared, even if the ignition is cycled.

Control Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for scan tool information

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON, engine OFF, observe the scan tool ECM GEN-F Terminal Signal parameter. The reading should be less than 5 percent.

2. Engine running, observe the scan tool ECM GEN-F Terminal Signal parameter. The reading should be greater than 5 percent.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit ring terminal 1 X2 and ground.

瀚慖f the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the generator.

3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool ECM GEN-F Terminal Signal parameter is less than 5 percent.

瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the field duty cycle circuit terminal 2 X1 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace

the ECM.

4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the field duty cycle circuit terminal 2 X1 and B+. Verify the scan tool ECM GEN-F Terminal Signal

parameter is greater than 95 percent.

瀚慖f less than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the

ECM.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the generator.
