A Delphi CS130D 105 ampere generator is standard equipment on this vehicle. A Bosch NCB1 125 ampere generator is used for the police (9C1) and the taxi (9C6) options. The components of these generators include the following:

The generator provides voltage to operate the vehicle's electrical system and to charge the battery. A magnetic field is created when current flows through the rotor. This field rotates as the rotor is driven by the engine, creating an AC voltage in the stator windings. The AC voltage is converted to DC by the rectifier bridge and is supplied to the electrical system at the battery terminal.

The generator's digital regulator uses digital techniques to supply the rotor current and thereby control the output voltage. The rotor current is proportional to the width of the electrical pulses supplied by the digital regulator. When the ignition switch is ON, voltage is supplied to terminal L from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), turning on the digital regulator. Narrow width pulses are supplied to the digital rotor, creating a weak magnetic field. When the engine is started, the digital regulator senses generator rotation by detecting AC voltage at the stator through an internal wire. Once the engine is running, the digital regulator varies the field current by controlling the pulse width. This regulates the generator output voltage for proper battery charging and electrical system operation.
