Function Explanation (DTC Detection Outline)

•  When the charge/discharge circuit for the power supplying the vehicle is normal, the vehicle will operate normally.
•  For this diagnosis, by detecting that the vehicle supply voltage is low even with the generator generating electric power, a malfunction in the charge/discharge circuit is diagnosed for vehicle malfunction determination and safety assurance.

Repeatability Verification Procedure

1.  Clear DTCs using the M-MDS.
2.  Start the engine.
3.  Leave for 180 s while idling with no electrical load.
4.  Leave for 30 s while idling with maximum electrical load.

PID Item/Simulation Item Used in Diagnosis

Action

1
PURPOSE: VERIFY IF OTHER RELATED DTCs OCCURRED SIMULTANEOUSLY
•  Perform the DTC inspection for the PCM using the M-MDS.
•  Has any DTC other than P2502:00 or pending code been stored?
Yes
Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
Go to the troubleshooting procedure to perform the procedure from Step 1.
No
Go to the troubleshooting procedure to perform the procedure from Step 1.


Troubleshooting Diagnostic Procedure

Intention of troubleshooting procedure
•  Steps 1 to 5
―  Perform inspection of each signal transmission system.
•  Step 6
―  Perform a unit inspection of the generator.
•  Steps 7 to 9
―  Verify that the primary malfunction is resolved and there are no other malfunctions.

Action

1
PURPOSE: VERIFY IF POOR CONNECTION OF EACH PART AFFECTS DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
•  Switch the ignition OFF.
•  Inspect the connection condition (part installation condition, connector connection condition) for the following parts:
―  Battery
―  Generator
―  PCM
•  Is the connection condition (part installation condition, connector connection condition) for each part normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Connect each part or the connector correctly, then go to the next step.
2
PURPOSE: VERIFY IF CONNECTOR DAMAGE OF EACH PART AFFECTS DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
•  Disconnect the connectors of the following parts:
―  Battery
―  Generator
―  PCM
•  Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition, and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
•  Is the connector normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the connector, then go to the next step.
3
PURPOSE: INSPECT FOR MALFUNCTION DUE TO BAD FUSE
•  Remove the STR 450 A fuse.
•  Inspect the STR 450 A fuse.
•  Is the STR 450 A fuse normal?
Yes
After installing the STR 450 A fuse, go to the next step.
No
If the fuse is blown:
•  Refer to the wiring diagram and verify if there is a common connector between the battery positive terminal and generator terminal 1A.
If there is a common connector:
―  Inspect the common connector and terminals for corrosion, damage, or disconnection and the common wiring harnesses for short to ground to determine the malfunctioning location.
―  Repair or replace the malfunctioning location.
If there is no common connector:
―  Repair or replace the wiring harness which is shorted to ground.
―  Replace the blown fuse.
If the fuse is damaged:
•  Replace the fuse.
Go to Step 7.
4
PURPOSE: VERIFY IF SHORT TO GROUND IN EACH WIRING HARNESS AFFECTS DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
•  Verify that the battery connector, generator connector, and the PCM connector are disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between generator terminal 1A (vehicle wiring harness side) and ground.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify if there is a common connector between the battery positive terminal and generator terminal 1A.
If there is a common connector:
•  Inspect the common connector and terminals for corrosion, damage, or disconnection and the common wiring harnesses for short to ground to determine the malfunctioning location.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning location.
If there is no common connector:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which is shorted to ground.
Go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
5
PURPOSE: VERIFY IF OPEN CIRCUIT IN EACH WIRING HARNESS AFFECTS DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
•  Verify that the battery connector, generator connector, and the PCM connector are disconnected.
•  Inspect wiring harness between positive battery terminal and generator terminal 1A (vehicle wiring harness side).
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Inspect the STR 450 A fuse.
If the fuse is blown:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which is shorted to ground.
•  Replace the fuse.
If the fuse is damaged:
•  Replace the fuse.
If the fuse is normal:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.
Go to Step 7.
6
PURPOSE: DETERMINE INTEGRITY OF GENERATOR
•  Inspect the generator.
•  Is the generator normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the generator, then go to the next step.
7

No
Go to the next step.
9
PURPOSE: VERIFY IF THERE IS ANY OTHER MALFUNCTION
•  Has any other DTC or pending code been stored?
