R.H.D.

• The interior construction of the generator has been simplified by the elimination of the IC regulator based on the PCM performing generator output control.

• A generator duct and a generator heat insulator made of plastic have been adopted to protect the generator from the exhaust manifold heat.

• By sending a duty signal to the power transistor built into the generator, the PCM increases and decreases the field coil excitation current. (See GENERATOR OUTPUT CONTROL OPERATION [L3 R.H.D.].)

• The generator warning light in the instrument cluster illuminates under the following conditions: (See DTC DETECTION LOGIC AND CONDITIONS [L3 R.H.D.].)

- Generator B terminal signal malfunction

- Generator output voltage signal malfunction

- Battery over-charge

- Intake air temperature sensor (PCM input voltage too low)

- Intake air temperature sensor (PCM input voltage too high)
