Circuit/System Testing
Caution: To help avoid personal injury, additional precautions must be taken prior to working on the generator control module or the generator starter. After removing the 36V battery cables from the generator battery, remove both
engine wiring harness connectors from the generator control module. Wait at least 5 minutes and then remove the generator control module cover. Verify voltage levels at all 36V, 12V, and 3-phase connections, are less than 3 volts using
a DMM before proceeding.
- Inspect for any open fuses.
- Inspect all the 12-volt battery connections for proper torque as follows:
- With a scan tool, clear the DTC.
- Ignition OFF, wait 30 seconds.
- Ignition ON, operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC and verify the DTC does not reset.
⇒ | If the DTC resets, replace the SGCM. |
