Display shows Generator F Terminal duty cycle in percent from 0 to 100. The generator is able to produce the desired voltage by varying the duty cycle of the field current. At low engine speeds, the field may have a duty cycle of 90 percent. At higher engine speeds, and lower electrical loads, the duty cycle will be less. The generator produces a PWM signal that is monitored by the PCM.
