Circuit / System Description
The engine control module (ECM) uses the alternator turn ON signal circuit to control the load of the alternator on the engine. A high side driver in the ECM applies a voltage to the voltage regulator. This signals the voltage regulator to turn the field circuit ON and OFF. The ECM monitors the state of the alternator turn ON signal circuit. The ECM should detect low voltage on alternator turn on signal 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 alternator turn on signal circuit. The ECM performs key ON and RUN tests to determine the status of the alternator turn on signal circuit.
