Bruce Nunnally Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 This code sets when engine is running at a speed greater than 800 RPM and IPC voltage is greater than 16 volts for more than 2 seconds. The voltage from the generator to the battery can go high when the resistance in the battery is too low? There is an article here: http://www.v8mr2.com/reference/alternator1.pdf which appears to be a good reference on how to diagnose using the onboard diagnostics, in this case on a 95 Concours. So how to get into the diagnostics would be different on your 92, but the article might still be useful in terms of what to check?

FlamingGoatBalls Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Correct me if im worng but I would think that a smaller diameter screw would increase the resistance and if anything make your voltage lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, using the wrong battery post or connection can cause the exact problem you are having.

Ranger Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 If I recall correctly, there are two positive cable that are piggy backed and there is a spacer in between. With the wrong bolt (no spacer) one is not getting current. I agree with Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
