FOCUS Rotating Electrics 22 SIMPLE FIXES FOR ROTATING ELECTRICS Repairing rotating electrics often relies on specific knowledge or experience of how to address the problem. Below are examples of problems encountered on six different marques. Each contains a diagram and a simple explanation, speeding up the repair the next time you are faced with this problem on the lift. Ford Smart charge alternators Replacement alternators on Toyota applications not charging This is caused by the vehicle losing the feed to either the “IG” or the “S” terminal. Confirm that the 12-volt ignition feed to “IG” terminal and the permanent 12-volt feed to “S” terminal are present. Alternator charge warning lamp is lit If the lamp is lit after fitting the new alternator and the engine is started, the plug or wires connecting the alternator may be faulty. Often, one of the three wires is broken and has been disconnected due to vibrations and engine movements. Alternator output voltage is too high or unstable In the event of excessive, or unstable, voltage, please check the sensor connection. This is best done as follows: 1. Unplug the 3-pin plug from the alternator 2. Locate the “S” terminal in the plug 3. Connect a 10-watt test lamp between “S” and ground. The lamp should light up. 4. Measure the voltage on the “S” terminal while the lamp is connected. It must be exactly the same as the battery voltage. If the voltage is lower than the battery voltage, there is a voltage drop in the circuit. Very often, the fuse which supplies “S” is corroded. Land Rover 2.7TD alternators 2004 There are two types of alternator fitted to these vehicles. The difference being those vehicles fitted with Active Cornering Without ACE Enhancement (ACE) and those applications without. Starter Motor Mercedes A Class For the Mercedes A-Class 1996-2003, there are two types of starter motors fitted. It is vital to ensure the correct starter motor is identified before replacement, due to the time it takes to replace the unit. One version of starter motor has a lock-out relay that is situated under the bonnet in a black box, secured to the bulkhead on the near side. If there is not a relay inside this box, the starter motor has an in-built immobiliser and is activated by a code from the ECU. The best method for ensuring that you have the correct replacement part is to cross reference the part number from the original unit. With ACE Importance of OE numbers Various vehicles are fitted with similar alternators but the functions of the terminals within the plug connector are different. Fitting the incorrect type can result in: • Incorrect operation of the warning light • No output • Fault codes on the ECU Cross referencing the OE part number from the original units will ensure the correct unit is supplied. For example: Jaguar S-Type A B A = Not computer controlled B = Computer controlled Volvo XC90, XC70, V70 & S60 A B A = Not computer controlled B = Computer controlled Euro Academy This information has been provided by Euro Academy, a unique and innovative technical resource designed specifically to support the independent garage.
