Manual for 1997 Honda Civic EX – Starting and Charging Systems
Manual for 1997 Honda Civic EX – Starting and Charging Systems is guide for STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS’ ‘Generators & Regulators – Mitsubishi. The Mitsubishi generator uses 8 diodes to rectify current and 3 diodes to supply current to voltage regulator. Charging system voltage is controlled by a voltage regulator which is part of generator.
Charging system incorporates an Electric Load Detector (ELD) which measures load on the charging system. ELD sends signal to ECM which controls the voltage regulator. Adjusting voltage needs allows ECM to reduce mechanical load on engine for better fuel economy.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Check generator wiring harness connections and drive belt tension. Ensure battery is fully charged and has good cable connections. Check generator fuse(s) in underhood and instrument panel fuse/relay block. Replace as necessary
