Limo (WC5)

This is a dual generator system, with a primary and secondary generator. The primary generator is the standard equipment generator. and operates as described in the Circuit Description.

The secondary generator is a smaller generator. Refer to Generator Usage This generator is used to maintain battery voltage over an extended idle period with high loads. This generator functions the same as other generators, but is not PCM controlled.

When the engine is running power is sent to the battery positive voltage sense circuit, turning on the regulator. The regulator uses the input voltage to control the output of the generator.

The battery positive voltage output circuit of this generator is connected to the battery positive voltage terminal on the underhood bussed electrical center. The wiring harness for this generator also contains a test terminal for the lamp circuit of the generator.
