Purpose, Function
The generator operates by obtaining drive force from the engine via the drive belt and generates the required electricity for electronic devices.
Construction
The generator is installed on the engine left front side.

Output control is performed by the PCM resulting in the elimination of the IC regulator and the simplification of the construction.
Two delta connection type stator coils have been adopted.


The two stator coils form the circuit having a phase difference, and magnetic pull, which operates between the rotor and stator coil by the phase difference, is theoretically eliminated. Due to this, electromagnetic vibration and generator operation noise (electromagnetic noise) have been reduced.

Pulsation occurring through voltage rectifying using two stator coils having a phase difference is minimized and stable voltage output is supplied.

Filament Inspection
1. Switch the ignition ON (engine off).
2. Turn the rear window defroster switch on.
CAUTION:
Directly touching the rear window defroster filament with the lead of the
tester could damage it. Wrap aluminum foil around the end of the lead and inspect
the filament by touching it ...
Door Ajar Warning Light
Purpose
The door-ajar warning light notifies the driver that any door or the liftgate
is open.
Function
When the instrument cluster receives any of the following signals sent from
the rear body control module (RBCM) via the CAN signal, the door-ajar warning
light illumin ...
