Rectifier Diode / Bridge: Testing and Inspection
Positive Rectifier Test
Check the continuity between the (+) heat sink and the stator coil lead wire connection terminal with an ohmmeter. If there is continuity in both
directions, the diode is shorted, so replace the rectifier.
Negative Rectifier Test
Check the continuity between the (-) heat sink and the stator coil lead wire connection terminal. If there is continuity in both directions, the diode is
shorted, so replace the rectifier.
Diode Trio Test
Connect a multimeter to both sides of each diode, and check each of the three diodes for continuity. If there is no continuity, that particular diode is
damaged and the rectifier must be replaced.
