Charging System
Alternator Overhaul (cont'd)
Rectitier Test
16. Check for continuity in each direction, between the
B terminal and P terminals, and between the E
terminal and P terminals of each diode pair.
All diodes should have continuity in only one
direction. Because the rectifier diodes are designed
to allow current to pass in one direction, and the
rectifier is made up of eight diodes (four pairs). you
musttest each diode in both directions for
continuity with an ohmmeter that has diode
checking capability: a total of 16 checks.
. lf any diode is faulty. replace the rectifier
assembly. {Diodes are not available separately.)' lf all the diodes are OK, go to step 17.

Alternator Brush Inspection
17. Measure the length of both brushes (A)with a
vernier caliper {B).
. lf either brush isshorterthanthe service limit,
replace the brush assembly.. lf brush length is OK, go to step '18.
Alternator Brush Length:
Standard (New): 10.5 mm (0.41 in.)
Service Limit: 1.5 mm (0.06 in.)
Rotor Slip Bing Test
18. Check that there is continuity between the slip rings
{A).
. lf there is continuity, go to step 19.. lf there is no continuity, replacethe alternator.
Check that there is no continuity between each slip
ring and the rotor (B) and the rotor shaft (C).
. lf there is no continuity, goto step 20.. lf there is continuity, replace the alternator.

Symptom Troubleshooting Index
NOTE:' The numbers in the table showthetroubleshooting sequence.. Before troubleshooting.- check the No, 10 (7.5A) and No. 4 (10A) fuses in the under-dash fuse/relay box. and the No. 7 (15A) fuse in theunder-hood fuse/relay box,- check that the horn sounds.- check the tachometer to see if it works properly.- check the speedometer lo see if it works properly.

Cruise Control Unit Input Test
SRS components are located in this area. Reviewthe SRS component locations (see page 23-'13) and precautions andprocedures (see page 23-14) in the SRS section before performing repairs or service.
1. Disconnect the 14P connector from the control unit.
2. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
. lf the terminals are bent, loose, orcorroded, repairthem as necessary, and recheckthe system.. lf the terminals look OK, go to step 3.

NOTE:. Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted
surfaces.. To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors
carefully while holding the connector portion.. Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
Also, be sure that they do not contact other wiring orhoses, or interfere with other parts.
1. Secure the hood in the wide open position (support
rod in the lower hole).
2. Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the radio,
then write down the frequencies for the radio'spreset buttons.
