Generator PWM

The scan tool range is 0% to 100%. This represents the field terminal input from the generator. The field PWM duty cycle indicates generator output level. A higher duty cycle indicates a higher generator output. The PCM uses the generator F terminal signal to adjust the spark and the idle air control (IAC) in order to compensate for variances in engine load caused by the generator.
