TESTING
Bench Tests
If the general charging system diagnosis has isolated a problem to the integral alternator/regulator assembly, remove it from the vehicle for bench testing
and service or replace. See the paragraphs on IAR assembly removal and disassembly in this section. In some cases, it may be possible to replace a
defective regulator or brushes without removing the IAR assembly.
