BRIDGE TEST
Remove the bridge from the pressure control box and
perform this test to determine if the bridge is functional.
Refer to BRIDGE RECTIFIER REPLACEMENT, page

the
X1 ohms scale.
Perform
all tests in the chart. If the bridge fails even one
test,
it must be replaced.
Fig 23–1 shows the position of the wires on the bridge.
Using the chart at the right, connect the meter wires as
indicated

and then check
the
continuity
.
