| Circuit/System Description |
The engine control module (ECM) uses the generator turn on control circuit, or L-terminal circuit, to control the load of the generator on the engine. A high side driver in the ECM applies a voltage to the voltage regulator. This controls the voltage regulator to turn the field circuit ON and OFF. The ECM monitors the state of the generator turn ON control circuit. The ECM should detect low voltage on generator turn on control circuit when the ignition is ON and the engine is OFF, or when the charging system malfunctions. With the engine running, the ECM should detect high voltage on the generator turn on control circuit. The ECM performs tests to determine the status of the generator turn on control circuit.
| Conditions for Running the DTC |
P2500
The engine is running.P2501
| • |
The ignition is ON.
|
|
| • |
The engine is OFF.
|
|
| Conditions for Setting the DTC |
P2500
The ECM detects low voltage on the generator turn on control circuit for 2 s.P2501
The ECM detects high voltage on the generator turn on control circuit for 2 s.| Action Taken When the DTC Sets |
The charge indicator turns ON 15 s after the DTC sets.
| Conditions for Clearing the DTC |
| • |
The DTC will pass when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer met for 2 s.
|
|
| • |
A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction.
|
|
| • |
The charge indicator turns OFF 15 s after the DTC passes.

| Circuit/System Testing |
| 1. |
Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the G13 Generator B+ terminal 1 X1 and ground.
|
|
| 2. |
If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
|
|
| 3. |
Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the G13 Generator.
|
|
| 4. |
Ignition ON, test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground.
|
|
| 5. |
If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
|
|
| 6. |
Engine running, test for greater than 3 V between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground.
|
|
| 7. |
If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
|
|
| 8. |
If all circuits test normal, test or replace the G13 Generator.
|
