Alternator/Regulator Test:1. Connect a Sun VAT-40 (orequrvalent tester), and turnthe selector switch to position1{sraning).2. Shift to neutral (A/T in E orN) position, and start theengane. Hold the engine at3,000 rpm with no load untilthe radiator fan comes on,then let it idle.3. Raise the engine speed to2,000 rpm, and hold it there.
ls the voltage over 15.1 V?
ls the voltage less than 13.5 V?
Altarnator/Regulator Test (cont'd:Apply a load with a VAT-40 untilthe battery voltage drops tobetween 12 - 13.5 V.

Disconnect ground from the No. 3 terminal. The actu-
ator rod should return. lf it does not return, but the
vent hose and filter are not plugged, the solenoid
valve assembly is defective.
Repeat steps 2 through 5. and disconnect ground
from the No. l terminal. The actuator rod should
return. lf it does not return, but the vent hose and
filter are not plugged, the solenoid valve assembly
is defective.
lf you replace the solenoid valve assembly, be sure
to use new O-rings on each solenoid.
Disconnect power and ground from the 4P connector.
Disconnect the vent hose from the actuator. Connect
a vacuum pump to the actuator vent hose port, and
apply vacuum. The actuator rod should pull in com-pletely. lf not, the vacuum valve is stuck open.
Replace the actuator,
