Alternator
AlternatorDepending on country and equipment the vehicle is equipped with different output alternators.
Battery charging voltage varies according to ambient temperature. At lower temperatures, the battery is less susceptible to boiling over and can be charged at higher voltages. At high temperature the charging voltage is reduced to prevent loss of the battery electrolyte through evaporation.
The DME controls the output rate of the alternator.
Jumper Cable Point
The Jumper Cable Point is located in the engine compartment on the left side at the firewall. The jumper cable point is the junction for the Monitored B+ cable and the alternator and starter.
