Section 5 (Charging System): Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Kia Sedona and 2006 Kia Sedona. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The charging system includes a battery, an generator with a built-in regulator, and the charging indicator light and wire.
The Generator has built-in diodes, each rectifying AC current to DC current.
Therefore, DC current appears at generator "B" terminal. In addition, the charging voltage of this generator is regulated by the battery voltage detection system.
The main components of the generator are the rotor, stator, rectifier, capacitor brushes, bearings and V-ribbed belt pulley. The brush holder contains a built-in electronic voltage regulator.
