Alternators/Charging System Service in Monrovia, CA
The alternator for your vehicle plays a critical role in keeping your Toyota, Lexus, Subaru, Honda, and Acura vehicle from stalling out while driving. The warning light on your vehicle, that is a red battery indicator, means that there is a fault with your vehicle’s charging system, NOT that you need a new battery.
When the charging system is operating correctly the alternator keeps that system voltage at a constant and keeps the battery at the correct level. It is responsible for keeping the engine running as well as all the other critical systems such as the headlights, airbag system, computer-controlled brakes, transmission control and many other computer-controlled systems. It is also responsible for providing power to all the convenience features that we love such as A/C, Radio, Navigation, heated seats, and many others.
Your Toyota, Lexus, Subaru, Honda, or Acura vehicles charging system consists of the Alternator, Battery, Current sensor, wiring, and some have computer-controlled charging rates. All the connections and wiring must be clean of corrosion and have a proper contact for the system to work properly.
The alternator can fail to create the proper voltage and amperage due to many variables. Such as loose-fitting terminals, corroded wires, damaged terminal clamps, the computer not controlling the voltage signal correctly, internally shorted battery, and not always a faulty alternator.
