jg23 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 ahh the dreaded gm pcm. i heard that just keeping the headlights turn on solves the problem, but i have an old ass toyota so i cant tell you for sure. turn your headlights on and see what the voltage stays at when it usually drops to 12v or whatever. i said this before but you probably read over it this does work on pcm controlled alts. mine would rest like around 12.8 or lower and when the lights are on it would stay at 13.8. what i ended up doing though is just putting a non pcm alt to bypass it. i charge at 13.9-14.1 all the time, only thing is that the battery light is on 2008 TahoeHU-PioneerMids/Highs amp- sundown 200.4Mids/Highs- hertz xls, hertz ml 700, audison voce tweetsAmp-2 AQ 3500sSubs-FI SP418sAlt-singer 350Big 3 1/0 Build Log UBL My YouTube channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheena Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 stuffs getting complicated way too fast.. start with the easy questions. is the alt dead? is the alt even in H/O mode? on my civic i can sit at 12.6 ALL DAY with the car running due to PCM. the simplist fix in the entire world is......... DRIVING LIGHTS! (not your head lights on, but the option before headlights) tada, alt sees the load and goes into H/O mode. voltage is now 14.X another thing is, the A/C switch, turning my A/C on flips my alt into H/O mode. dick around with your factory electronics to see which one flips yours into H/O mode. most likely the A/C will do it. 09 Civic EX KDC-X395 (2) SKAR Audio VVX-12 Skar Audio SK-1500.1 4 cu ft @32 (new box and more port soon) Firing Forward not sealed off Stock 80 Amp Alt Big 3 In 1/0 Knu 2 Runs To The Back 1 Pos 1 Neg In 1/0 Knu DD-1'd 13.8v drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
