For 1990-2009 cars

All models utilize an internal regulator charging system. The Integrated Circuit (IC) regulator is a solid state unit that is mounted to the rear end frame inside the generator. All regulator components are enclosed in a solid mold to protect them from heat and corrosive elements. The regulator voltage cannot be adjusted.

The generator rotor bearings contain enough grease to eliminate the need for periodic lubrication. Two brushes carry current through two slip rings to the field coil mounted on the rotor. Stator windings are assembled inside a laminated core that form part of the generator drive end frame. A rectifier bridge that contains 8 diodes is connected to the stator windings. These diodes electrically change stator AC voltage into DC voltage. This DC voltage is then transmitted to the generator output terminal.
