Alternator Control System Test: Integra
- Disconnect 4-pin connector from alternator. Start engine and turn the headlights on. Use DVOM to measure voltage between 4-pin connector terminal No. 2 and battery positive terminal. See Figure . If reading is one volt or less, go to next step. If reading is greater than one volt, go to step 3).
- Turn headlight and ignition switch to OFF positions. Disconnect 32-pin connector "A" from ECM. Use DVOM to measure resistance between connector "A" terminal No. 19 and 4-pin connector terminal No. 2 (White/Green wire). If continuity is indicated, go to GENERATOR/REGULATOR OUTPUT TEST . If continuity is not indicated, repair open in White/Green wire.
- Turn headlight and ignition switch to OFF positions. Disconnect 32-pin connector "A" from ECM. Use DVOM to measure resistance between ground and connector "A" terminal No. 19 (White/Green wire). If continuity is indicated, repair short to ground in White/Green wire. If continuity is not indicated, replace ECM with a known-good unit and recheck system operation. If system tests okay, replace ECM.
