1. A vehicular charging and generating system having a full wave rectifier for rectifying an alternating current output voltage of an armature coil for outputting an alternating current voltage to a direct current voltage, said vehicular charging and generating system comprising:

  • failure detecting means for detecting a failure of a rectifying element constituting the rectifier;

    wherein the failure detecting means detects the failure of the rectifying element by comparing a generated voltage of the vehicular charging generator and an average voltage of a phase voltage of the armature coil.
