DTC P2503 [L3]

BME010202500W02

DTC P2503 | Generator output voltage signal no electricity
--- | ---
DETECTION CONDITION | • PCM needs more than 20 A from generator, and judges generator output voltage to be below 8.5 V when 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. (See DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE [L3].) • Is same DTC present? | Yes | Go to next step.
No | Intermittent concern exists. Go to INTERMITTENT CONCERN TROUBLESHOOTING procedure. (See INTERMITTENT CONCERN TROUBLESHOOTING [L3].)
2 | INSPECT DRIVE BELT CONDITION • Verify that drive belt auto tensioner indicator mark does not exceed limit. • Is front drive belt okay? | Yes | Go to next step.
No | Replace and/or adjust drive belt, then go to Step 9.
3 | INSPECT POOR CONNECTION OF PCM CONNECTOR • Turn ignition key to OFF. • Disconnect PCM connector. • Inspect for poor connection (damaged, pulled-out terminals, corrosion, etc.). • Is there any malfunction? | Yes | Repair terminals, then go to Step 9.
No | Go to next step.
4 | INSPECT POOR CONNECTION OF GENERATOR CONNECTOR • Disconnect generator connector. • Inspect for poor connection (damaged, pulled-out terminals, corrosion, etc.). • Is there any malfunction? | Yes | Repair or replace terminals, then go to Step 9.
No | Go to next step.
5 | INSPECT GENERATOR CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND • Inspect for continuity between generator terminal D (harness-side) and body ground. • Is there continuity? | Yes | Repair or replace harness for short to ground, then go to Step 9.
No | Go to next step.
6 | INSPECT GENERATOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE MONITOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND • Inspect for continuity between generator terminal P (harness-side) and body ground. • Is there continuity? | Yes | Repair or replace harness for short to ground, then go to Step 9.
No | Go to next step.
7 | INSPECT GENERATOR CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN • Measure resistance between generator terminal D (harness-side) and PCM terminal 1AD (harness-side). • Is there continuity? | Yes | Go to next step.
No | Repair or replace harness for open circuit, then go to Step 9.
8 | INSPECT GENERATOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE MONITOR CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT • Measure resistance between generator terminal P (harness-side) and PCM terminal 1AA (harness-side). • Is there continuity? | Yes | Repair or replace generator, then go to next step.
No | Repair or replace harness for open, then go to next step.
9 | VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P2503 COMPLETED • Make sure to reconnect all connectors. • Clear DTC from PCM memory using WDS or equivalent. • Perform KOER self-test. (See KOEO/KOER SELF-TEST PROCEDURE [L3].)
• Is the same DTC present?
Yes
Replace PCM, then go to next step.
(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L3].)
No | Go to next step.
10 | VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE • Perform "After Repair Procedure". (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [L3].) • Is there any DTC present? | Yes | Go to applicable DTC troubleshooting. (See DTC TABLE [L3].)
No | Troubleshooting completed.
