STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM (6VE1 3.5L)
d. Re-connect harness connector to generator, run
engine at moderate speed, with electrical
accessories turned off.
e. Measure voltage across battery. If above 16.0V,
replace or repair generator.
f. Connect ammeter at generator output terminal.
Turn on accessories, load battery with carbon pile
to obtain maximum amperes output.
Maintain voltage at 13.0V or above.
1. If within 15 amperes of rated output, generator is
OK.
2. If not within 15 amperes of rated output, replace or
repair generator.
Generator
Removal
1.Disconnect battery ground cable.
2.Move drive belt tensioner to loose side using wrench
then remove drive belt (1).
3.Disconnect the wire from terminal “B” and disconnect
the connector (4).
4.Remove generator fixing bolt (3).
5.Remove generator assembly (2).

Inspection
1.Disconnect the wiring connector from generator.
2.With the engine stopped, turn starter switch to “on”
and connect a voltmeter between connector terminal
L (1) and ground or between terminal S (2) and
ground.

If there is no voltage present, then perform
appropriate repair.
3.Reconnect the wiring connector to the generator, run
the engine at must indicate idle speed, and turn off all
electrical devices other than engine.
4.Measure battery voltage. If it exceeds 16V, repair or
replace the generator.
5.Connect an ammeter to output terminal of generator,
and measure output current under load by turning on
the other electrical devices (eg., headlights). At this
time the amperes must not be less than 15A and the
voltage must not be less than 13V.
