GENERATOR OUTPUT TEST
NOTE: A slightly discharged battery should be used, as a fully
charged battery may not allow full generator output.
1) Turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable.
Disconnect generator output wire from terminal "B". Connect positive
lead of 100-amp ammeter to terminal "B" and negative lead to
disconnected output lead.
CAUTION: Tighten each connection securely, as heavy current flow will
exist. DO NOT use clips on ammeter. An inductive-type
ammeter is recommended.
2) Connect positive voltmeter lead (0-20 volts) to generator\
terminal "B" and negative lead to ground. Install a tachometer and
reconnect negative battery cable.
3) Ensure voltmeter indicates battery voltage. If voltage is
not present, check for open circuit in wire between generator terminal
"B" and positive battery terminal. Check grounds and fusible link.
4) Start engine and turn headlights on. Set headlights at
high beam and heater blower switch on HIGH. Increase engine speed to
2500 RPM and note generator output current on ammeter. Minimum output
should be within specification. See
GENERATOR MINIMUM OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS table.
NOTE: Output voltage changes with electrical load and temperature.
Ensure proper electrical load is applied while checking
output. Nominal output may not be obtained if generator or
ambient temperature is excessive. Allow generator or
temperature to cool, and recheck output. Generator output is
stamped on metal plate attached to generator case.
5) If minimum output is not obtained and generator wiring is
okay, repair generator. Operate engine at idle speed after the test.
