Alternator Control

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 Honda Crosstour, 2014 Honda Crosstour, 2013 Honda Crosstour, 2012 Honda Crosstour, and 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The alternator signals the PCM during charging. The PCM then controls the voltage generated at the alternator according to the electrical load determined by the electrical load detector (ELD) and the driving mode. This reduces engine load to improve fuel economy.
