Description and operation

Description

The Alternator has eight built-in diodes, each rectifying AC current to DC current.

Therefore, DC current appears at alternator "B" terminal.

In addition, the charging voltage of this alternator is regulated by the battery voltage detection system.

The alternator is regulated by the battery voltage detection system.

The main components of the alternator are the rotor, stator, rectifier, capacitor brushes, bearings and V-ribbed belt pulley.

The brush holder contains a built-in electronic voltage regulator.

1. Brush
2. Drive belt pulley
3. Rotor
4. Stator

Schematic diagrams

Circuit Diagram

•	COM signal - When controlling the voltage generated, the ECM sends the target voltage data to the alternator via a PWM signal.(High voltage: 4V or higher, low voltage: 2V or lower)

•

FR signal - The transistor activation signal inside the alternator monitors the voltage generated by the alternator to control the excitation current before it sends the FR signal to the ECM. (At certain RPM/electric loads, the FR duty can remain static. However, more often, the RPM, electric load, target voltage, etc. are always changing in the vehicle, so the FR must also change constantly)

•	L signal - Turns on the battery warning lamp on the dashboard when the battery charging system malfunctions. (Conditions for turning on the lamp - overcharge, over discharge, a field coil blown inside the alternator)

•	B+ terminal - The output voltage from the generator travels to the battery via the B+ terminal.

Repair procedures

Removal

1.	Switch "OFF" the ignition and disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.

2.	Remove the drive belt. (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Drive Belt")

3.	Disconnect the alternator connector (B), and remove the cable (A) from alternator "B" terminal.

4.	Remove the alternator lower bolt and upper bolt (A).

5.	Remove the alternator (A).

Installation

1.	Install in the reverse order of removal.

2.	Install the drive belt. (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Drive Belt")

Charging System

DC DC converter

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Changing a tire with TPMS

If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire Pressure telltale will come on. Have the flat tire repaired by an authorized Kia dealer as soon as possible or replace the flat tire with the spare tire. CAUTION - Repair Agents Never use a puncture-repairing agent not approved by Kia to repair and/or inflate a low pressure tire. The sealant not approved by Kia may damage the tire pressure sensor.

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Coolant

Repair procedures Refilling And Bleeding Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious scalding could be caused by hot fluid under high pressure escaping from the radiator. When pouring engine coolant, be sure to shut the relay box lid and not to let coolant spill on the electrical parts or the paint.
