Disconnect the battery leads,
negative (black) lead first.
Disconnect regulator/rectifier
black connector and proceed
to test 2
Rectify fault, proceed to test 4
Check cable continuity:
- Regulator/rectifier black
connector pin 1 to battery lead
negative connector
- Regulator/rectifier black
connector pin 3 to battery lead
positive connector
Reconnect the battery leads,
positive (red) lead first.
Reconnect the
regulator/rectifier black
connector. Disconnect the
rectifier/regulator grey
connector and proceed to test
3
Locate and rectify wiring fault,
proceed to test 4
Check resistance through the coils:
- Alternator pin 1 to pin 2
- Alternator pin 2 to pin 3
- Alternator pin 3 to pin 1
<0.2 Ohms -
Short circuit
>3 KOhms
Open Circuit
If the fault is between the
rectifier and the crankcase,
repair the harness. Proceed to
test 4
If the fault is after the
crankcase, replace the unit.
Proceed to test 6
