RectifierTest
DENSO:
NOTE: The diodes are designed to allow current to pass
in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direc-
tion. Each diode must be tested tor continuity in both
directions with an ohmmeter that has diode checking
capability. Since the alternator rectifier is made up ot
eight diodes (four pairs), there are a total of 16 checks.
'1. Check for continuity in each direction between the
B and P terminals, and between the E (ground) and
P terminals of each diode pair. All diodes should have
continuity in only one direction.
lf any of the eight diodes fails, replace the recti{ier
assembly. iDiodes are not available separately.)

holder by removing its two screws.
Measure the length of the brushes with a vernier
caliper.

1. Checkthe resistance between the slip rings.
There should be 1.8 - 3.0 ohms.
. lf resistance meets the specification, go to step 2,
. lf resistance does not meet the specification,
replace the alternator.
SLIP RII{GS
Check that there is no continuity between the slip
rings and the rotor or rotor shaft.
lf the rotor fails either continuity check, replace the
alternator.
Stator Test
1. Check that there is continuity between each pair of
leads.

lf the coil core fails either continuity check, replace
the alternator.

Description
The car is equipped with the lollowing devices to plevent inadvertent shifiing:
a A/T selector with shift lock
a Key cylinder with interlocked ignition key
Shift Lock Svstem:
The shift lock system prevents the shilt lever trom moving to @ or [6ol from the p position unless the brake pedal
is depressed and the accelerator is in its rest position.
NOTE:
a The shift lever cannot be shifted when the brake pedal and the accelerator are depressed at the same time.
a In case of system malfunction, the shift lever can be released by pushing a key into the release slot near the shift lever.
SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations, precautions, and procedures in the SRS
section (23) belore performing repairs or service.
