Charging System - Test

SMCS - 1406-038

Often when problems with the charging system are being investigated, the alternator is not the
problem. If a low battery condition is present, test the batteries first. See Special Instruction,
SEHS7633, "Battery Test Procedure" for more information. If the engine cranks slowly, then test the
starting system. See Service Magazine, SEPD0020, "Testing The Starter On The Engine" for more
information. If a warning indicator for the charging system is ON, see Service Magazine, SEBD1751,
"Difference Between Alternator Indicator In Electronic Monitoring System (EMS) And Low Voltage
Indicator In Operating Monitoring System (OMS)". When a problem with the charging system is
suspected, then complete the testing that is outlined in this Special Instruction.

See "Initial Troubleshooting Procedure" in order to begin troubleshooting. The procedures in this
Special Instruction are designed to guide you to the problem with as little testing as possible. In most
cases, you will only use a few of the tests to diagnose a problem. The tests are labeled as T1 - T8 for
easy reference. A descriptive title for each test is included as well.

Initial Troubleshooting Procedure

1. CHECK THE RESISTANCE IN THE EXCITATION CIRCUIT. This step is only for
alternators with external excitation when the terminal for excitation is labeled: "1", "REG" and
"D+". See "Alternator Specifications" if the method of excitation is unknown. Go to Step 3 if
your alternator is self-excited. Proceed to Step 2 if the excitation terminal of the alternator has
the label "IG".

a. Turn the key start switch to the ON position.

b. Verify voltage at the excitation terminal. Connect the red lead from a multimeter to the
excitation terminal. Connect the black lead to a ground source (alternator case ground).

c. Read the voltage that is shown on the multimeter.

Expected Result: The voltage reads at least .2 volts.

Página 1 de 15
 Results:

◾ YES - The voltage reads .2 volts or more. The excitation circuit is correct. Proceed
to Step 3.

◾ NO - The voltage is less than .2 volts. There is a failure in the wiring harness to the
alternator or there is a poor electrical connection. Correct the problem and operate
the machine. Watch for a recurrence of the problem.

2. CHECK THE RESISTANCE IN THE EXCITATION CIRCUIT (CONTINUED). This

step is only for alternators with external excitation when the terminal for excitation is labeled:
"IG". See "Alternator Specifications" if the method of excitation is unknown. Go to Step 3 if
your alternator is self-excited.

a. Turn the key start switch to the ON position.

b. Verify voltage at the excitation terminal. Connect the red lead from a multimeter to the
excitation terminal. Connect the black lead to a ground source. The case of the alternator
can be used as a good source of ground.

Note: For Denso G3B, K3A, and L3A alternators, Insert a 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe
Group into the rear of the middle wire in the connector. See figure 1 below. Insert the
probe (spoon lead) between the black seal that surrounds the wire and the outer shell of
the connector. Do not insert the probe between the wire insulation and the black seal.
This terminal (IG) is the terminal for excitation.

Special Technique Using A Wire Probe On The Denso Alternator

c. Read the voltage that is shown on the multimeter.

Expected Result: The voltage is within .5 volts of battery voltage.

Página 2 de 15
 Results:

◾ YES - The voltage reads battery voltage. The excitation circuit is correct. Proceed
to Step 3.

◾ NO - The voltage is more than .5 volts less than battery voltage. There is a failure
in the wiring harness to the alternator or there is a poor electrical connection.
Correct the problem and operate the machine. Watch for a recurrence of the
problem.

3. CHECK THE SYSTEM VOLTAGE.

a. Before starting the machine, connect a voltmeter between the "B+" terminal and the case
of the alternator. Turn OFF all electrical loads.

b. Turn the key to the ON position but do not start the engine.

Expected Result: This voltage should be system voltage.

Results:

◾ YES - The voltage is system voltage. Go to Step 4

◾ NO - The voltage is less than system voltage. Verify that the batteries are good and
verify that battery connections are good. Go to ""T4 Alternator Drive System -
Check"" if the batteries are good.

4. INITIAL CHECK OF THE OPERATION OF THE ALTERNATOR.

a. The voltmeter remains connected in the configuration from Step 3.

b. Start the machine. Set the throttle to at least 75 percent. Read the voltage on the
voltmeter.

Expected Result: The voltage is higher than the voltage that was recorded in the
previous Step 3.

Results:

◾ YES - The voltage is higher than the voltage observed in the previous Step 3. The
voltage is also lower than the maximum voltage that is listed in the specifications
for the alternator. The alternator is partially charging. See the following diagnostic
flow chart for reference in continued testing. Proceed to ""T1 Alternator Output -
Test"".

◾ YES - The voltage is higher than the voltage observed in the previous Step 3. The
voltage is also higher than the maximum voltage that is listed in the specifications
for the alternator. The alternator is over charging. Proceed to ""T8 Alternator
Overcharging - Test"".

◾ NO - The voltage is not higher than the voltage observed in Step 3. Proceed to
""T4 Alternator Drive System - Check"".

Note: Severely discharged batteries can cause low system voltage. Severely discharged batteries can
occur even while the engine is running above idle, and the alternator is working properly. Proper low
engine idle is also important. Most of the alternators in Caterpillar applications are self-excited. These

Página 3 de 15
alternators must exceed a turn-on speed before charging will begin. Alternator output can be low at
idle.

T1 Alternator Output - Test

1. Ensure that the batteries are NOT fully charged.

a. Fully charged batteries have open circuit voltage above 12.5 V on 12 V systems or 25 V
on 24 V systems.

b. If the batteries are fully charged, then crank the engine for 30 seconds. This action
reduces the battery voltage. Operate the lights for 10 minutes while the engine is off as
an alternative.

2. Connect the 9U-5795 Current Probe to a DMM (digital multimeter) or use a 225-8266
Ammeter Tool Gp . The multimeter must have a peak hold feature. Clamp the probe around
alternator output wire "B+". Before clamping the probe around the wire, ensure that the probe
is "zeroed" .
