EXC. UNITS W/REGULATORS IN-ENGINE ELECTRONICS
When testing alternators except 100 and 114 amp units, use a 0---100 amp ammeter. When testing 100 and 114 amp alternators, use a 0---150
amp ammeter.
1.
Disconnect battery ground cable. Disconnect "Batt" lead at the alternator.
2.
Complete test connections as shown.
3.
Connect battery ground cable, start engine and operate at idle.
4.
Adjust engine speed and carbon pile to obtain 20 amps in the circuit and check voltmeter reading. Reading should not exceed .7 volts. (.5 volts on
1984---88 models). If a voltage drop is indicated, inspect, clean and tighten all connections in the circuit. A voltage drop test at each connection
can be performed to isolate the trouble.
