Warning Light Operation

When any of the following problems occur, the charge light illuminates:

• No voltage generation: Brush wear exceeds specified limits, field coil circuit is broken, etc.
• Excessive output: Output voltage is greater than about 16 volts.
• Terminal "B" disconnection: Harness is disconnected from alternator terminal "B".
• Terminal "S" Disconnection: Harness is disconnected from alternator terminal "S". In this case, voltage is slightly greater than specified regulated voltage; however, voltage regulation is still controlled and the battery is prevented from being overcharged.
