CL TYPE S V6-3.2L SOHC (2001)
11. With the engine speed still at 2,000 rpm, full-field the alternator. Attach the probe to the VAT-40 full-field test lead, and insert the probe into the
full field access hole at the back of the alternator. Switch the field selector to the "A (Ground)" position momentarily, and check the amperage
reading. Because voltage will rise quickly when the alternator is full-fielded, do not allow the voltage to exceed 18 V: it may damage the electrical
system.
Is the alternator output 75 A or more?
YES - Replace the voltage regulator.
NO - Test and repair the alternator components.
Alternator Control System Test
1. Check for proper operation of the ELD by checking the MIL.
2. Disconnect the alternator 4P connector from the alternator.
3. Start the engine, and turn the headlights (high beam) ON.
4. Measure voltage between the alternator 4P connector terminal No.2 and the positive terminal of the battery.
Is there 1 V or less?
YES - Go to step 8.
NO - Go to step 5.
5. Turn the headlight and ignition switch OFF.
6. Disconnect the PCM 31P connector from the PCM.
7. Check for continuity between the PCM connector terminal C2 and body ground.
