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.
