Alternator Lamp / Sensor Drift
Diagnosis & fix steps
LOGIC: Alternator Charging Output Potential Critically Low (<22.5V).
ACTION: Measure output voltage directly on the alternator B+ post under full cabin AC and high-draw mining light load. Inspect the 24V master battery isolator contacts for high-resistance voltage drops.
Red Seal field insights
Mining Heat: Sustained ambient temperatures above 40°C cook internal alternator diodes, causing voltage dropouts that corrupt CAN bus signals across the machine's DLU modules.
