Pinpoint Test






Pinpoint Test C: DTC P0620

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 12, Charging System for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation

The PCM monitors the generator output via the GENMON circuit. The PCM uses the GENCOM circuit to command the generator to either increase or decrease output. If the GENCOM circuit (generator control circuit) or the A sense circuit are open or shorted to ground, the PCM will be unable to control the generator's output. When the engine rises above approximately 2,000 rpm, the generator will default to a steady voltage of approximately 13.5 volts and the PCM will send a request to the Instrument Cluster (IC) to illuminate the charging system warning indicator lamp.

- DTC P0620 Generator Control Circuit - If the GENCOM circuit or A sense circuit are open or shorted to ground the PCM will set this DTC.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Generator
- PCM
