Code No. P0622: Alternator FR Terminal System
OPERATION
- The energised state of the alternator field coil is inputted from the alternator to the engine-ECU connector terminal ALTF.
FUNCTION
- A signal of the power supply duty ratio for the alternator field coil is inputted to the engine-ECU.
- In response to the signal, the engine-ECU detects the alternator output current and controls the idling speed according to the output current (electric load).
TROUBLE JUDGEMENT
Check Condition
- Ignition switch is "ON" position.
Judgement Criterion
- Input voltage from the alternator FR terminal has continued to be approximately battery positive voltage for 20 seconds.
FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION
- Prohibits alternator output suppression control against current consumers. (operates as a normal alternator.)
PROBABLE CAUSES
- Failed alternator
- Open circuit or harness damage in alternator FR terminal circuit or loose connector contact
- Failed engine-ECU

STEP 1. Voltage measurement at alternator connector (ALTF line).
|
|
|
(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
|
|
|
(3)Check the voltage between the alternator connector (ALTF line) and body earth.
OK: System voltage
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
 Go to Step 4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
 Go to Step 2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 2. Check of open circuit in ALTF line between alternator connector and engine-ECU connector.
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
Go to Step 3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 3. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code.
|
|
|
- Reconfirmation of diagnosis code.
|
|
|
Q.
Is diagnosis code set?
|
|
|
Replace the engine-ECU.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions  ).
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 4. Voltage measurement at engine-ECU connector (ALTF terminal).
|
|
|
(1)Engine: Idle operation after warm-up
|
|
|
(3)Radiator fan: Not operated
|
|
|
(4)Check the voltage between the engine-ECU connector (ALTF terminal) and body earth.
OK: Switching the headlamps to ON from OFF causes the voltage to fall.
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
Go to Step 3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Go to Step 5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 5. Check of harness damage in ALTF line between alternator connector and engine-ECU connector.
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
Replace the alternator.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.
