7b. Bench Test: See Figure 7.37.
• Set a digital multi-meter to read on the X100Ω
scale.
• With the key OFF and the fuse removed, unplug all
the wires from the regulator/rectifier.
• Remove the regulator/rectifier from the engine (not
strictly necessary, but provides easy access).
• Make the resistance tests described in the accom-
panying table.
B+ is the D.C. terminal
A.C.1 is the A.C. terminal nearest B+
A.C.2 is the A.C. terminal furthest from B+
8. If the regulator/rectifier fails any one of these tests,
replace it with a new one.
