3. INSPECTION

1) Alternator

Output Test

▶ 

Disconnect the cable connected to the B 

terminal on the alternator. Connect one 

end of the ammeter to the B terminal and 

the other end to the cable connected to 

the B terminal.

Measure the maximum output value.

(Maintain the engine speed between 

2,500 and 3,000 rpm.)

(Turn the headlamp and all the electrical 

switches on.)

1.

2.

Pass: If the measured current 

is 45 A or higher.

Fail: If the measured current is 

less than 45 A.

Check the current of the B 

terminal.

-

-

-

Move the gear selector lever to the neutral 

position.

Maintain the engine speed at 2,500 rpm 

with the vehicle unloaded.

(Turn all the electrical switches off.)

1.

2.

Open circuit: If the measured 

current is 5 A or higher.

-

Disconnect the negative cable from the 

battery.

Remove the B terminal and turn off the 

ignition switch.

Measure the resistance between the L 

and F terminals with an ohmmeter.

1.

2.

3.

Pass: If the measured 

resistance is between 3 and 
6Ω.

Faulty rotor coil or slip ring: If 

the measured resistance is 
less than 3Ω or greater than 
6Ω.

-

-

Connect the B terminal wiring.

Measure the voltage with the engine 

running.

1.

2.

Specification: 12.5V to 14.5V

Faulty IC regulator or field 

coil: If the measured voltage 

is 14.5V or higher.

-

-

Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.

Connect the negative cable again after connecting the ammeter.
