T8 Alternator Overcharging - Test


SMCS - 1405-081

1. Verify that the nut for the "B+" terminal is tight. Verify that the wire has a good connection to the
"B+" terminal.

2. Many Caterpillar machines are equipped with a connector for the 6V-2150 Starting/Charging
Analyzer. See Systems Operation, SENR2947, "Starting and Charging Systems". Use of this
analyzer replaces the testing that is listed below. If the analyzer finds a problem, correct the
problem and retest the system. Go to Troubleshooting, "Initial Troubleshooting Procedure".

3. Run the engine at 75 percent. Turn ON all electrical accessories for all test steps below. Allow the
engine to run for at least 3 minutes before you continue to 4. The following table will assist in
making calculations during the test.

4. Measure the voltage between the "B+" terminal and ground.

5. Measure the voltage across the battery. Put the red lead on the + battery terminal, and put the
black lead on the negative battery terminal. Step 5 should be completed as quickly as possible
after Step 4.

Expected Result: On 12 volt systems, the voltage is within one volt of the voltage that was
recorded in Step 4. On 24 volt systems, the voltage is within 2 volts.

Results:

{ YES - If the voltage in Step 4 is not more than 1 volt for 12 volt systems (2 volts for 24 volt
systems) higher than the voltage in Step 5, this step is complete and the related wiring is
correct at this time. There is an internal malfunction in the alternator. Refer to Testing and
Adjusting, "Component - Test".

{ NO - If the voltage in Step 4 is more than 1 volt for 12 volt systems (2 volts for 24 volt
systems) higher than the voltage in Step 5, there is high circuit resistance: corrosion, loose
connections and damaged wiring. Go to Step 7.

6. Check the voltage between the machine's frame and the "B+" terminal. Record the voltage.

7. Check the voltage between the machine frame and the + battery post. Step 7 should be completed
as quickly as possible after Step 6.

Expected Result: The voltage difference between Step 6 and Step 7 does not exceed 1 volt on 24
volt systems or 0.5 volts on 12 volt systems.

Results:

{ YES - The voltage difference does not exceed the tolerance. The charging circuit is good.
There is an internal malfunction in the alternator. Refer to Testing and Adjusting,
"Component - Test".

{ NO - The voltage difference exceeds the tolerance. There is high resistance in the charging
circuit: loose cables, corroded cables, damaged cables, faulty circuit breaker and faulty
main relay. Correct the problem. Go to Troubleshooting, "Initial Troubleshooting
Procedure" and retest the system.
