Click to display connectors

Positive Lead

Measurement / Action

Negative Lead

C102B-1

C102B-2

Start the engine. Using a diagnostic scan tool, view PCM Parameter Identifications (PIDs). Using the active command, set the PID GENVDSD to 14 volts. Monitor the PCM Parameter Identifications (PIDs) GENMON and GENCMD. Perform a wiggle test of the generator wiring and connections.

Do the Parameter Identifications (PIDs) read within 5% of each other?

Yes

REMOVE the fused jumper wire. INSTALL a new generator. REFER to: Generator - 5.0L 32V Ti-VCT (414-02 Generator and Regulator, Removal and Installation).

No

REMOVE the fused jumper wire. GO to G11
