Alternator Control Circuit Troubleshooting
Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal B45 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES
-
Repair short in the wire between the alternator and the ECM/PCM.■
NO
-
Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software,
or
substitute a known-good ECM/PCM,
then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM,
replace the original ECM/PCM.
■
Jump the SCS line with the HDS, then turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
NOTE: This step must be done to protect the ECM/PCM from damage.
Disconnect ECM/PCM connector B (49P).
