1998 Chevrolet Lumina LTZ 3.8L Alternator
Posted to GM Electrical on 9/13/2005 13 Replies

This vehicle will NOT charge until at least 200 degrees operating temp, and RPM close to or over 2000RPM to enable the Alternator to "Engage". If I let it just idle, it will not charge. The Genisys is showing the "COMMANDED GEN" as "ON", but it isn't charging....
