BSD interface to alternator: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The alternator with its BSD interface supports active communications with the engine-management control unit. The alternator is not directly connected to the charge-indicator lamp, but rather to the engine-management control unit. The alternator can detect various defects and malfunctions.
