hilux 2.4td M reg charging Fault - cassman

Hello,
I own the vehicle above and have a problem regarding the charging system. The batteries are being fried with a high voltage from the alternator. My batteries are having the fluid boiled dry after a few days due to a charging voltage of 17v.

I believe this is to be a regulating fault but cannot find any information to help, also where is the regulator on this vehicle as on other vehicles I've owned, it has always been with the alternator.

Thank-you

I think it will be integral with the alternator. You need to repair/exchange ASAP otherwise other electrical units will be damaged. Try these people:
