TL V6-3206cc 3.2L SOHC MFI (1998)
1. Check the resistance between the slip rings. There should be 2.9 ohms.
^ If resistance meets the specification, go to step 2.
^ If resistance does not meet the specification, replace the alternator.
2. Check that there is no continuity between the slip rings and the rotor or rotor shaft.
3. If the rotor fails either continuity check, replace the alternator.
Stator Test
1. Check that there is continuity between each pair of leads.
2. Check that there is no continuity between each lead and the coil core.
3. If the coil fails either continuity check, replace the alternator.
Alternator Belt Inspection and Adjustment
Deflection method:
Apply a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf), and measure the deflection between the alternator and crankshaft pulley.
Deflection: 9.0 - 11.5 mm (0.35 - 0.45 in)
Alternator Belt Inspection And Adjustment
NOTE: On a brand-new belt (one that has been run for less than five minutes), the deflection should be 5.5 - 7.0 mm (0.22 - 0.28 in) when first
