18. Check for continuity in each direction, between the B terminal (A) and P terminals (B), and between the E terminal (C) and P terminals (B) 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 failed, replace the rectifier assembly. (Diodes are not available separately.)
-
If all the diodes are OK, go to step 19
Alternator Brush Inspection
19. 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 20.
