Charging System
CHARGING SYSTEMThe charging system is a negative ground system consisting of the following:
- generator
- internal voltage regulator
- charging system warning indicator
- storage battery
- necessary wiring and cables
The generator is belt-driven by the engine accessory drive system. When the engine is started, the generator begins to generate alternating current (AC) which is internally converted to direct current (DC). This current is then supplied to the vehicle electrical system through the output (B+) terminal of the generator.
