Charging System - Generators & Regulators: Description

Generator contains a rotor, stator, rectifiers, front and rear covers and drive pulley. PT Cruiser generator is a "Y" type stator with a 3 phase winding connections to deliver induced AC current to 3 positive and 3 negative diodes for rectification. On all models, generator is serviced as a complete unit only. Voltage regulation is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Electronic Voltage Regulator (EVR) is not a separate component, but a circuit located within PCM. If EVR circuit is defective, PCM must be replaced.
