D. Examine the Contact Ring and Brushes
Examine the contact ring.
Measure the grooving on the contact
ring.
Grooving (<0.5 mm) caused by abrasion of
carbon brushes are permitted.
If grooving (>0.5 mm) are visible, replace
the alternator.
Do not use a steel brush for cleaning to prevent any damage.
Clean the contact ring with a soft brush.
Make sure the diameter of the contact
ring is 15 mm +/- 2 mm.
