Test No. 3 Harness Voltage
Test
(Remove Battery Sense Only)
Remove harness sense lead from sense terminal and connect voltmeter leads
as
shown
in
Figure
below. Voltmeter should indicate battery voltage (approx.
12.6
volts for a fully charged battery with
ignition key off).
If voltage is zero, the hardness "sense" lead is open and should be repaired or
replaced.

After voltmeter is connected,
as
shown
in
Figure below, start and run engine at a fast idle of
approximately
1,500
RPM.
Turn
on
vehicle headlights and blower fan (low speed). Check for
nominal system output voltage of between
13.8-14.8
volts for a properly operating charging system.
(Voltages may vary a few tenths of a volt (higher or lower) due to ambient temperature variations).
If the alternator output voltage does not fall within the proper range, the alternator should
be
disassembled for further inspection and tests.
