Circuit/System Description |
The engine control module (ECM) uses the generator field duty cycle signal circuit, or F-terminal circuit, to monitor the duty cycle of the generator. The generator field duty cycle signal circuit connects to high side of the field windings in the generator. A pulse width modulated (PWM) high side driver in the voltage regulator turns the field windings ON and OFF. The ECM uses the PWM signal input to determine the generator load on the engine. This allows the ECM to adjust the idle speed to compensate for high electrical loads. The ECM monitors the status of the generator field duty cycle signal circuit. When the ignition is ON and the engine is OFF, the ECM should detect a duty cycle near 0%. When the engine is running, the duty cycle should be between 5 - 99%.

Circuit/System Verification |
Engine running, observe the scan tool Generator F-Terminal Signal Circuit parameter. The Generator F-Terminal Signal Circuit parameter should display between 5-99%.
Circuit/System Testing |
1. |
Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the G13 Generator B+ terminal A X1 and ground.
|
2. |
If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
|
3. |
Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the G13 Generator.
|
4. |
Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Generator F-Terminal Signal parameter displays less than 5%.
|
5. |
If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 2 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
|
6. |
Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between B+ and the signal circuit terminal 2.
|
7. |
Verify the scan tool Generator F-Terminal Signal parameter displays greater than 95%.
|
8. |
If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 2 for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
|
9. |
If the circuit tests normal replace the G13 Generator.
