Charging System: Description and Operation

Power is supplied at all times to alternator terminal through:
^ 120 A fusible link (letter (a) ,located in the fuse and fusible link box), and
^ 10 A fuse (No. (36) located in the fuse and fusible link box).
Voltage output through alternator terminal (B), is controlled by the IC regulator at terminal. The charging circuit is protected by the 120 A fusible link.
Terminal of the alternator supplies ground through body ground.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
^ through 10 A fuse [No. (25) located in the fuse block] and resistors
^ to diagnostic information display control unit terminal and of the alternator.
When the alternator is providing sufficient voltage, the power supply is opened and the "OK" is displayed.
If the diagnostic information display indicates "CHARGE" with the engine running, a malfunction is indicated. Refer to "Trouble Diagnoses".
