LOW SYSTEM VOLTAGE TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: Low charging voltage is a symptom of an excessive current demand by the vehicle's electrical system. With no current demand (load), this alternator will regulate to 14-14.3 volts. If your voltage reads lower, examine the table below. Voltage / current rotation (engine idling) VOLTAGE CURRENT DIAGNOSIS 14-14.3 0-16 O.K. 13.5-13.9 17-25 O.K. 12.9-13.4 26-30 TEST FOR EXCESSIVE 12.3-12.8 31-40 CURRENT DEMAND NOTE: As alternator current output increases, the voltage decreases. IMPORTANT NOTICE Nissan Pulsar, Sentra, and 310’s with E15, E16 and E16I engines came from the factory with a spacer between the alternator mount and the back ear of the alternator. This spacer must be installed with the new alternator or damage will result. Testing for excessive current demand 1. Start engine and let engine idle. Turn all accessories off. 2. Place a voltmeter across the battery terminals. 3. While watching voltmeter disconnect fuse in the fuse box one at a time. When the voltage increases to 14v , you've found the circuit with the excessive current demand. 4. If voltage is still low, disconnect electrical components that are not fused and proceed as in step (4). Examples of components that cause excessive current demand 1. Bad or undercharged battery. 2. Faulty radiator cooling fan motors (a fan motor will operate but demand excessive current). 3. Radiator cooling fan motors that have been wired to operate on and off with the ignition switch. This happens when someone has bypassed the temperature sensor. 4. Rear window defogger switch shorted. 5. A seat belt switch shorted or seat belt relay defective. 6. Poor alternator ground. 7. Air conditioning components (fan motors, clutch , etc.). 8. Any electrical component that is defective and demanding excessive current. Minimum voltage readings with ALL accessories ON (engine idling): Non-Airconditioned vehicles: 13.3 volts Airconditioned vehicles: 12.8 volts CURRENT DRAIN TESTING 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Turn off engine and everything on the car that uses current. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable from the battery. Place a test light between the negative battery post and the disconnected cable. If the test light glows, either some electrical accessory is still on or there is a short that is draining battery current. If the test light doesn't glow there is no current drain. To find the current drain, disconnect (one at a time) fuses and electrical components until the light stops glowing. When the light stops glowing that component or circuit contains the current drain. Replace or repair shorted wire and\or faulty electrical components. Failure to install the spacer shown will result in damage to the alternator. Not installing this spacer where needed will distort the housings and cause the rotor to rub inside the stator, thus damaging the stator. Not installing this spacer where needed will void any and all warranty. If you are in need of a replacement spacer, one may be obtained from your local Nissan dealer (P/N 11713-01M00).
