I just followed your connection instructions and bam it’s working just like yours is. Late model alternator on a 454 running Holley efi!!! Thank you so much I’m sure this will fix many other problems I’ve had!

Did you purchase same exact step down converter? I tried last night, had a different brand one since I was able to get same day, didn’t work for me. No change when changing the Duty Cycle. Module fired up perfect. Set it to 128HZ but no change. Wired into proper alternator connector. This is a 2015 Camaro Alternator. OEM GM.

Following up. I was reading about these alternators and it seems that the they default to about 13.7 vdc anyway... so even if some of these support components failed the alternator would at least still function. I found that good to know.

Mine without a regulator wire ran at 13.6v, but with my accessories running, it was barely keeping the battery charged.

Yesssuh! I get it and like 10 bucks for the part. I just really thought there was a way to make it work but there's not unless you wanna go through all the changing of the regulator and soldering and crap and basically ending up with the same alternator you just took off. Kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it? Least now you can control the power when adding accessories and that's the point being a higher amp alternator especially running more than one battery. So yes I will be the PART of ebay to runs this awesome alternator. Thank you for confirming this as I had my doubts.

You could assign a PWM output from the terminator X to the alternator. You then set up a graph on the output Voltage vs pwm output. Use the Terminator X for a voltage regulator. Set up battery voltage as an input and PWM to the alt as an output.

I wish I had you here to help with my alternator generators. I've got CS high output alternators and have the two wire pigtail, but I'm still having problems, duh..... The light wire has a resistor in it then goes to an idiot light then on to a illuminated toggle switch. Sound right?

Thanks for posting this, I am in the middle of sorting mine out as well. The Terminator has alternator control in the ECU config under basic I/O tab.. Select custom and you can configure PWM table for voltage over duty cycle. I gives a PWM- output only on output B10. I am using a 5v cigarette USB charger as the source voltage and a resistor between the Holley and 5v source wire.. What voltage reading are you getting on your control wire at the alternator 2 pin plug when its charging around 14.3v?

I have read that the range on these is 10-90% but I've also read that it's 5-95%. Can you test the voltage output at 94-95%? Is that in the diag range or does it go above 15.5v

Thanks. Another questrion: What 12 vdc source do you use? A "switched source' (via key), or constant 12 vdc from a battery source?
@barrets6226
Жыл бұрын
It's probably safer to use a switched source. I haven't tested yet if there is any idle current draw by that regulator.

so I have an 03 yukon xl that has the volts ranging between 14v & 8v & it gets so bad that it will want to stall out at lower rpms... Can i run this conversion & it will bypass the whole PCM charge thingy you explained? I cant believe this aint ran off a fuse so it just blows the fuse if need be. I do not have 100% understand of it, but I want to bypass the PCM... it doesnt seem like rocket science & is the route/conversion I need to do?

@@roymoore2944 so yeah your '03 has the 4-wire alternator, I have an 03 Z71 suburban and it has that. Now with a four-wire alternator like you have. All you need is the pigtail with the single wire that references the 12-volt system and it will self-regulate through a loop that way. You can make the four-wire alternator run independently for $20. That's what the majority of people do rather than running this two-wire alternator that needs a pulse width modulation signal. Before I went through the efforts of removing the current alternator for another one and then having to do this, I would troubleshoot the current issue to see if maybe you have a grounding issue or a failing alternator.

I have an aftermarket HO 250 amp alternator. Uses the factory 2 pin GM plug. 2006 Silverado 5.3L. Since I have the factory 2 pin plug, what do you suggest to use for a plug that won’t cause the battery light to illuminate on my dash?

The factory ECU communicated to the alternator via 5v signal... Can it handle 12v? Maybe, but you might cook the input.. I was only replicating the signal designed for it.
