DTC Descriptors

DTC P2500

- Generator L-Terminal Circuit Low Voltage

DTC P2501

- Generator L-Terminal Circuit High Voltage

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) uses the generator turn on control circuit, or L-terminal circuit, to control the load of the generator on the engine.

A high side driver in the ECM applies a voltage to the voltage regulator. This controls the voltage regulator to turn the field circuit ON and OFF.

The ECM monitors the state of the generator turn ON control circuit. The ECM should detect low voltage on generator turn on control circuit when

the ignition is ON and the engine is OFF, or when the charging system malfunctions. With the engine running, the ECM should detect high voltage

on the generator turn on control circuit. The ECM performs tests to determine the status of the generator turn on control circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P2500

The engine is running.

P2501

* The ignition is ON.

* The engine is OFF.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P2500

The ECM detects low voltage on the generator turn on control circuit for 2 seconds.

P2501

The ECM detects high voltage on the generator turn on control circuit for 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The charge indicator turns ON 15 seconds after the DTC sets.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The DTC will pass when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer met for 2 seconds.

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

* The charge indicator turns OFF 15 seconds after the DTC passes.
