Details On DTCs (With i-ELOOP)

DESCRIPTION	Generator system: Voltage generated by generator is high
DETECTION CONDITION	Determination conditions	•  Any one of the following conditions is met: ―  Field current value returned by generator is abnormally larger than field current value demanded of generator, or condition in which battery voltage is 15.9 V or more continues for specified period ―  Capacitor (i-ELOOP) voltage is 27.5 V or more, or condition in which over-voltage notification signal from generator continues for specified period. ―  Condition in which overheating detection signal output from generator continues for specified period.
	Preconditions	•  While engine is running
	Period of abnormality	•  5 s period
	Drive cycle	•  1
	Self test type	•  CMDTC self test
	Sensor used	•  PCM
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION	•  Inhibits engine-stop by operating the i-stop function. •  The PCM outputs a non-power generation demand to the generator and then demands the generator to go into default mode (14.5 V constant voltage power generation). If the temperature of the generator exceeds the specified value, the generator itself stops power generation. But, if the internal circuit of the generator is malfunctioning, the generator may not accept the demand from the PCM.
