The basic malfunctions of the generator



CAUSE
SOLUTION
When you turn on the ignition warning light battery charging
Low Battery
Check the voltage and, if necessary, recharge the battery
Unreliable connection or oxidation of the battery terminals
Check the connection and, if necessary, clean the terminals Batteries
Securely tightened or oxidized at the contact wire generator
Check and, if necessary, tighten the wire attachment to the generator
Blown control light
Replace the light bulb
Faulty voltage regulator
Check and, if necessary, replace the voltage regulator
Broken wire between the generator, ignition switch and control lamp
Check the voltage of the circuit, from the generator
Brushes generator not flush against the contact rings
Check the length of the brushes and their freedom of movement in the holders
Burned field winding
Check the rotor and the diodes that defects that must be replaced
The warning lamp does not go out charging with an increase in engine speed
A slack if worn ribbed belt
Check the condition of the V-ribbed belt tensioner and belt
Faulty clutch idling (only TDI)
Remove the generator and turn counterclockwise shaft generator. If it does not rotate the movable pulley surface, means coupling idling defective
Faulty alternator or voltage regulator
Disconnect from the back of the alternator wire (D +) and switch on the ignition. If the warning light is still lit up, it means that faulty alternator or voltage regulator
Worn brushes Voltage Regulator
Check the length of the brush and, if necessary, replace them
Faulty voltage regulator
Check voltage regulator and, if necessary, replace it
Faulty Generator
Check generator and, if necessary, replace it
Defective wire connecting the generator voltage regulator
Disconnect the blue wire to the electrical connector block 12 T32A junction box. If after that the control lamp is lit, the D + wire is shorted to ground and the need to replace the wire
Faulty junction box
Disconnect the blue wire from the electric socket T32A. If, after this warning lamp lights up, it means that faulty distribution block
The warning lamp lights up when charging the ignition off
Short circuit diode
Check and, if necessary, replace the diode
