Signs Your Charging System Needs Service

A charging system comprises a battery, alternator, wiring, and electronic control unit. It has the function of charging your battery and delivering energy to run your vehicle's electronics while the engine is running. Without your charging system and alternator working properly, you may be unable to start your engine, leaving you stranded in a parking lot.

Many modern vehicles have battery and charging system indicators that notify you when there is an issue. Some of the signs that your charging system needs service include:

• Battery problems: If your battery is low on power, it can trigger the "check charging system" indicator to alert you to the issue. You may also notice dim lights or trouble starting your vehicle.
• Drive belt troubles: An alternator needs a drive belt to work properly, and if it is worn out or not working properly, it can cause issues for the entire charging system. Our service team can check the condition of your drive belt and provide a high-quality replacement if needed
• Alternator issues: Your alternator produces electricity as you drive and stores it in the battery. However, if the voltage coming through your alternator is low, you will likely need a new alternator to produce the needed energy.
• Corroded wires and connections: Sometimes, old or damaged wires can create issues for your charging system. Our team can clean all the connections, inspect the internal wirings and connections of the alternator, and check all the fusible links. If there are any burned wires, they will require replacing.
• Faulty computer system: You can also seem to have charging system issues, but it's actually a faulty computer system. Our team can run diagnostics to solve the problem.

Alternator Maintenance

Alternators wear out over time and require maintenance to keep them running at their best. If you have checked the battery for issues and electrical problems persist, there could be an issue with your alternator. The root of most alternator issues is heat, vibration, and contamination from outside sources. Preventative maintenance is the best way to catch developing issues and ensure your alternator has a long lifespan.

Our Honda-certified team can help you with your alternator by first providing a visual inspection. Our team follows the best practices and Honda manufacturer guidelines to ensure your Honda model gets the care it deserves. We can check the vents for obstructions for air-cooled alternators and check the coolant and drain lines for liquid or oil-cooled alternators.

Our team can also inspect your alternator for what could be causing vibrations, which can cause large issues even if the vibrations are minimal. Our technicians can look at the mounting bushings to ensure the alternator is in a secure position. Finally, our team can clean external contaminants that create dirty electrical connections.

Instead of replacing the entire alternator when there are issues, our team can find high-quality replacements to keep your alternator running smoothly.
