Odyssey EX L4-2253cc 2.3L SOHC (VTEC) MFI (1998)
NOTE: It is not necessary to separate the pulley, drive end housing, and the rotor unless the front bearing needs replacement.
To loosen the pulley locknut, use 10 mm and 22 mm wrenches. If necessary, use an impact wrench.
Rectifier Test
NOTE: The diodes are designed to allow current to pass in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction. Since the alternator rectifier is
made up of eight diodes (four pairs), each diode must be tested for continuity in both directions with an ohmmeter that has diode checking capability; a
total of 16 checks.
