Ahernator/Regulator Tosl-1 :1. Connect a Sun VAT-40 (or
equivalent testerl, and turnthe selector switch to position'1 (starting).
2. Shift to neutral position, andstart the engine. Hold theengine at 3,000 rpm with noload until the radiator tancomes on, thon let it idle.3. Raise the engine sp€ed to2,000 rpm, and hold it there.
ls the voltage over 15.1 V?
Altsrnator/Rogulator Test-z:1. Release the accelerator pedal,
and let the engine idle.2, Make sure all accessories areturnod off. Turn the selectorswitch to position 2 (charging).
3. Remove the inductive pick-up,
and zero the ammeter.4. Place the inductive pick-up
over the battery ground cableso that the arrow points
toward the batterY negativeterminal,5. Raise the engine speed to2.000 rpm, and hold it there.
ls the voltage less than 13.5 V?
Ahelnstor/Regulator T$t-3iApply a load with the VAT-40until the battery voltage drops tobetween 12 - 13.5 V.

Troubleshooting (cont'dl
CAUTION: Th6 voltago will rise quickly when the ahernator is ful!fieldcd. Do not .llowth6 voltag€ to €xc6ed 18 V; it may damage tho ol6drical system.
NOTE: Attach a probe to the VAT'40 full field test lead, and insert the probe into the lullfield access hole at the back of the alternator. Switch the field selector to the "A {Ground}"position momentarily, and check the amperage reading.

Rotor Slip Ring Test
DENSO:'l . Check that there is continuity between the slip rings.
ROTOR SHAFT
Check that there is no continuity between the slip
rings and the rotor or rotor shaft.
lf the rotor fails either continuity check, replace the
alternator.
Stator Test
1 . Check that there is continuity between each pair ot
leads.
Check that there is no continuity between each lead
and the coil core.
lf the coil lails either continuity check, replace the
alternator.
