9. Turn all lamps and accessories off.
10.Start the engine.
11.Increase the engine speed to 2,500 r/min.
12.Read the value displayed on the voltmeter when 

the alternator output current alternator becomes 
10 A or less.

13.If the voltage reading conforms to the value in the 

voltage regulation, then the voltage regulator is 
operating normally.
If the voltage is not within the standard value, 
there is a malfunction of the voltage regulator or of 
the alternator.

14.After the test, lower the engine speed to the idle 

speed.

15.Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 

position.

16.Remove the M.U.T.-III.
17.Disconnect the negative battery cable.
18.Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
19.Connect the alternator output wire to the 

alternator "B" terminal.

20.Remove the special tool, and return the connector 

to the original condition.

21.Connect the negative battery cable.

NOTE: 

AKX00190

The voltage waveform of the alternator "B" terminal 
can undulate as shown in the illustration. This wave-

form is produced when the regulator operates 
according to fluctuations in the alternator load (cur-
rent), and is normal for the alternator. In addition, 
when the voltage waveform reaches an excessively 
high value (approximately 2 V or higher at idle), it 
often indicates an open circuit due to a brown fuse 
between alternator "B" terminal and battery, but not a 
defective alternator.

EXAMPLE OF ABNORMAL WAVEFORMS

NOTE: 

.

1. The size of the waveform patterns differs largely, depending on the adjustment of the variable knob on the 

oscilloscope.

2. Identification of abnormal waveforms is easier when there is a large output current (regulator is not oper-

ating). (Waveforms can be observed when the headlamps are illuminated.)

3. Check the conditions of the charging warning lamp (illuminated/not illuminated). Also, check the charging 

system totally.
