The voltage regulator is NOT built in the alternator, it is part of the ECM, that is the Engine Control Module. The module (computer) monitors the charging system and signals the alternator how much voltage to send it to keep the system working properly. the voltage regulator is built in to the alternator
It means the charging system voltage (is) too low, Check the alternator and the voltage regulator. The voltage regulator is a part of the powertrain control module or PCM.
The engine control module acts as the voltage regulator.
it has a inbuilt regulator
internal to the engine computerThe voltage regulator on a 2000 Chrysler Voyager is located within the Powertrain Control Module. If you want to replace the voltage regulator, you have to replace the PCM.
No. A voltage regulator usually can provide control in both directions (increasing or decreasing voltages). A voltage limiter clamps the voltage to below a specific level.
Aircraft alternators have an electronic voltage regulator.
Do you mean rheostat for brightness control of dash lights? Usually in the dimmer control switch Voltage regulator for engine operation--inside the alternator
The voltage regulator is controlled by the powertrain control module and it is located on the passenger side firewall on most Dodge 3500 diesel. This is a problem that some people fix by installing an external voltage regulator.
A voltage regulator regulates and provides the necessary amperage (from the alternator or stator charging system) the vehicles uses and maintins a constant battery voltage.
Assuming you are asking about the voltage regulator, the voltage regulator regulates the voltage being put out by the alternator or generator so not to overcharge or undercharge the battery and maintain the correct voltage for the electrical system. In 1964, the Lincoln voltage regulator was externally mounted. In later years it became integral with the alternator.
The voltage regulator has the job of making the voltage 'constant'. In most modern vehicles the regulator is located in the alternator, in older models the regulator is located separate. If your voltage is jumping around a lot then you either have a problem with the battery (batteries stabilize the voltage also)or the charging system (and probably the voltage regulator)
