Alternator Control Circuit Troubleshooting
Check for continuity between ECM connector terminal B41 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES
-
Repair short in the wire between the alternator and the ECM.■
NO
-
Update the ECM if it does not have the latest software,
or
substitute a known-good ECM,
then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM,
replace the original ECM.
■
Jump the SCS line with the HDS, then turn the ignition switch OFF.
NOTE: This step must be done to protect the ECM from damage.
Disconnect ECM connector B (44P).
