DescriptionThe ignition and recharging circuit comprises the battery, starter motor and alternator.The starter motor consists of a direct current motor supplied by the battery and an excitation solenoid. When the ignition key is turned to the extreme position (START), the starter motor windings are supplied, producing electro-magnetic forces which rotate the motor pinion. At the same time, the solenoid is energized and operates the mechanism for engaging the pinion in the flywheel ring gear, thus turning over the engine. The alternator recharges the battery during normal engine rotation. The alternator shaft (rotor) is turned by the crankshaft by means of a belt. When supplied with an excitation current, the rotor sets up a magnetic field that induces an alternating current in the fixed coil (stator). A diode rectifying bridge located on the back of the alterator transforms the alternating current into a direct current, which is sent to recharge the battery.A voltage regulator, also built into the alternator, maintains a constant voltage supply (about 14V) throughout the load and engine speed ranges.The efficiency of the recharging system is controlled by the Body Computer, which measures the D+ signal coming from the alternator with the engine running (rpm over 700). If insufficient voltage is detected, the relevant warning light on the instrument panel is switched on as well as the message which is shown in the display.
Functional description When ignition switch H1 is turned to the extreme position (AVV) - pin 50 - the solenoid winding is energized - pin 50 - for the starter motor A20 . This supply comes directly from the battery via the line for the fuse F3 in the engine compartment junction unit B1 . Pin 30 of A20 , the actual starter motor, receives the voltage coming directly from the battery A1. The direct current generated by the alternator A10 (pin B+) is sent to the battery A1 , passing through the motor A20 . When the alternator does not turn, and so does not recharge the battery, an earth signal is sent from pin D+ to the Body Computer M1 - pin 19 of connector A: this is connected via the CAN line to the instrument panel E50 and manages, as described above, the switching on of the recharging warning light on the instrument panel.
