DTC P2503 [L3]


BME010202500202

DTC P2503

Generator output voltage signal no electricity

DETECTION CONDITION

• The PCM needs more than 20 A from generator, and judges generator output voltage to be below 8.5 V when the engine is running.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Generator malfunction
• PCM and/or generator are poorly connected.
• Open and/or short to GND in wiring from between generator terminal P and PCM terminal 1AA
• Open and/or short to GND in wiring from between generator terminal D and PCM terminal 1AD
• Drive belt misadjustment

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
• Perform DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE.
• Is the same DTC present?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Intermittent concern exists. Go to INTERMITTENT CONCERN TROUBLESHOOTING procedure.
2
INSPECT DRIVE BELT CONDITION
• Verify that the drive belt auto tensioner indicator mark does not exceed limit.
• Is the front drive belt normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace and/or adjust the drive belt, then go to Step 9.
3
INSPECT POOR CONNECTION OF PCM CONNECTOR
• Turn the ignition switch off.
• Disconnect the PCM connector.
• Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out terminals, corrosion).
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair the terminals, then go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT POOR CONNECTION OF GENERATOR CONNECTOR
• Disconnect generator connector.
• Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out terminals, corrosion).
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the terminals, then go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
5
INSPECT GENERATOR CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
• Inspect for continuity between generator terminal D (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
• Is there continuity?
Yes
Repair or replace the wiring harness for short to ground, then go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT GENERATOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE MONITOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
• Inspect for continuity between generator terminal P (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
• Is there continuity?
Yes
Repair or replace the wiring harness for short to ground, then go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
7
INSPECT GENERATOR CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN
• Measure the resistance between generator terminal D (wiring harness-side) and PCM terminal 1AD (wiring harness-side).
• Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace wiring harness for open circuit, then go to Step 9.
8
INSPECT GENERATOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE MONITOR CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
• Measure the resistance between generator terminal P (wiring harness-side) and PCM terminal 1AA (wiring harness-side).
• Is there continuity?
Yes
Repair or replace the generator, then go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness for open circuit, then go to the next step.
9
VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P2503 COMPLETED
• Make sure to reconnect all connectors.
• Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the WDS or equivalent.
• Perform KOER self-test.
• Is the same DTC present?
Yes
Replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
10
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
• Perform "After Repair Procedure".
• Is there any DTC present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
Troubleshooting completed.
