WSG-1068 CHARGING SYSTEM
Pinpoint Test C: Indicator Lamp ON, Engine Running
Inspection and Verification
1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of terminal corrosion and electrical harness damage or a bulb failure.
2. Inspect fusible links and generator connector for bent or backed-out connector pins, or damage to wiring.
3. Visually inspect for and note auxiliary system connections not shown on the Recommended Customer
Connections Wiring Schematic.
Normal Operation
With voltage applied the high side of a charge warning indicator lamp, the generator will momentarily will pull the warning
lamp to ground and illuminate the indicator until the regulator is activated. The S (stator) circuit NOT USED, is used to
feed back a voltage signal from the generator to the regulator. This voltage (typically half battery voltage) is used by the
regulator to turn off the charge indicator.
