1. Fuse box #2
Locate the RED/BLUE wire on terminal A9 of fuse
box and clamp the ammeter over it.

1. Inductive ammeter
Start engine.
NOTE: Connect a garden hose to cool exhaust
system. Refer to
EXHAUST SYSTEM
subsection.
Bri
ng engine RPM as specified in the following ta-
ble
and read current with the ammeter.
TEST ENGINE
SPEED
CURRENT
5500 RPM
Approx. 10 A (while
suspension does not move)
NOTE: Initial current reading will be higher than
specified due to the battery drain from the engine
start. This is an indication that the charging sys-
tem is operating normally. Current load will come
down as the battery recovers its charge.
If current reading is far below specification, test
stator output and wiring harness prior to conclud-
ing that voltage regulator/rectifier is faulty.
NOTE: If battery is in poor condition or is not at a
full state of charge, current reading will be above
specification. Refer to
BATTERY
in this section for
battery testing.
Output Current Test with a Multimeter
NOTICE
Charging current may rise over mul-
timeter current reading capacity (usually 10 A)
possibly causing testing equipment damage. It
is preferable to use an inductive ammeter to
test the charging system current.
Remove charging system fuse.
Set multimeter to Adc.
Connect probes to fuse holder terminals.

NOTE: Connect a garden hose to cool exhaust
system. Refer to
EXHAUST SYSTEM
subsection.
Bring engine RPM as specified in the following ta-
ble and read current with the multimeter.
