Generator Load
The Generator Load Input (GLI) circuit is used by the PCM to determine generator load on the engine. As generator load increases the PCM will adjust idle speed accordingly. This strategy helps reduce idle surges due to switching high current loads. The GLI signal is sent to the PCM from the voltage regulator/generator. The signal is a variable frequency duty cycle. Normal operating frequency is 40 - 250 Hz. Normal signal DC voltage (referenced to ground) is between 1.5 V (low generator load) and 10.5 V (high generator load).

- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
