Nissan Sentra Service Manual: S terminal circuit
Description
The output voltage of the generator is controlled by the IC regulator at terminal “S” detecting the input voltage from battery.
The “S” terminal circuit detects the battery voltage to adjust the generator output voltage with the IC voltage regulator.
Diagnosis procedure
Regarding wiring diagram information. Refer to chg-9, "wiring diagram".
1.Check “s” terminal connection
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Check if “s” terminal is clean and tight.
Is the inspection result normal? Yes >> go to 2.
No >> repair “s” terminal connection. Confirm repair by performing complete charging system test using exp-800 ni or gr8-1200 ni (if available). Refer to the applicable instruction manual for proper testing procedures.
2.Check “s” terminal circuit
Check voltage between generator harness connector and ground.
Is the inspection result normal? Yes >> refer to chg-14, "work flow (with exp-800 ni or gr8-1200 ni)" or chg-17, "work flow (without exp-800 ni or gr8-1200 ni)".
No >> check harness for open between generator and fuse.
L terminal circuit (short)

On board diagnostic (OBD) system
Diagnosis Description
This system is an on board diagnostic system that records exhaust
emission-related diagnostic information
and detects a sensors/actuator-related malfunction. A malfunction is indicated
by the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) and stored in ECU memory as a DTC. The diagnos ...
Diagnosis description : malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
When emission-related ECU detects a malfunction in the emission
control systems components and/or the powertrain control components
(which affect vehicle emissions), it turns on/blinks MIL to
inform the driver that a malfunction has been detected.
The MIL illuminates when ignition switch is t ...
Intermittent Incident
DESCRIPTION
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for
service. If possible, re-create the
conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No
Trouble Found Diagnosis. The fol-
lowing section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/env ...
