Pinpoint Test D: DTCs P0625 and P0626
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 (generator field terminal circuit). If the PCM cannot read the GENMON circuit due to an open or short to ground, 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 P0625 Generator Field Terminal Circuit Low - If the GENMON circuit is shorted to ground or the A sense is open, the PCM will set this DTC. This DTC can also be set by a faulty PCM or generator.
- DTC P0626 Generator Field Terminal Circuit High - If the GENMON circuit is open or shorted to power, the PCM will set this DTC. This DTC can also be set by a poor engine ground or faulty PCM or generator.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Engine, generator and battery grounds
- Battery
- Generator
- PCM
