Mountaineer 2WD V6-245 4.0L VIN X SFI (2000)
Charging System Control Module: Description and Operation
Generator Load
The Generator Load Input (GLI) circuit is used by the PCM to determine generator load on the engine. As generator load increases the PCM will
adjust idle speed accordingly. This strategy helps reduce idle surges due to switching high current loads. The GLI signal is sent to the PCM from the
voltage regulator/generator. The signal is a variable frequency duty cycle. Normal operating frequency is 40 - 250 Hz. Normal signal DC voltage
(referenced to ground) is between 1.5 V (low generator load) and 10.5 V (high generator load).
