Trouble DiagnosesNLSC0011Before conducting an alternator test, make sure that the battery is fully charged. A 30-volt voltmeter and suit-
able test probes are necessary for the test. The alternator can be checked easily by referring to the Inspec-
tion Table.
+Before starting, inspect the fusible link.
+Use fully charged battery.
WITH IC REGULATORNLSC0011S01
SEL338V
NOTE:
+If the inspection result is OK even though the charging system is malfunctioning, check the B terminal
connection. (Check the tightening torque.)
+When field circuit is open, check condition of rotor coil, rotor slip ring and brush. If necessary, replace faulty
parts with new ones.
MALFUNCTION INDICATORNLSC0011S02The IC regulator warning function activates to illuminate“CHARGE”warning lamp, if any of the following
symptoms occur while alternator is operating:
+Excessive voltage is produced.
+No voltage is produced.

DisassemblyNLSC0021REAR COVERNLSC0021S01CAUTION:
Rear cover may be hard to remove because a ring is used to
lock outer race of rear bearing. To facilitate removal of rear
cover, heat just bearing box section with a 200W soldering
iron.
Do not use a heat gun, as it can damage diode assembly.
REAR BEARINGNLSC0021S02CAUTION:
+Do not reuse rear bearing after removal. Replace with a
new one.
+Do not lubricate rear bearing outer race.
