16. Check for continuity in each direction, between the B terminal and P terminals, and between the E terminal and P terminals of each diode pair. All
diodes should have continuity in only one direction. Because the rectifier diodes are designed to allow current to pass in one direction, and the
rectifier is made up of eight diodes (four pairs), you must test each diode in both directions for continuity with an ohmmeter that has diode
checking capability: a total of 16 checks.
-
If any diode is faulty, replace the rectifier assembly. (Diodes are not available separately.)
-
If all the diodes are OK, go to step 17.
Alternator Brush Inspection
17. Measure the length of both brushes (A) with a vernier caliper(B).
-
If either brush is shorter than the service limit, replace the brush assembly.
-
If brush length is OK, go to step 18.
