Trouble DiagnosisBKS001ML
Before performing 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 Inspection
Table.
Before starting, inspect the fusible link.
Use fully charged battery.
WITH IC REGULATOR
NOTE:
If the inspection result is OK even though the charging system is malfunctioning, check the “B” terminal
connection (Check the tightening torque) and voltage drop.
Check condition of rotor coil, rotor slip ring, brush and stator coil. If necessary, replace malfunctioning
parts with new ones.

DISASSEMBLY
Rear Cover
1. Remove through-bolt (4).
2. Remove rear cover.
NOTE:
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 200 W soldering iron
until the temperature increases by about 30 °C.
CAUTION:
Never use a heat gun, as it can damage diode assembly.

Front Cover (For LR1110-713B)
1. Set rotor to the vise.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the rotor.
Use copper plate or thick cloth for rotor in the vise.
2. Remove pulley cap, using suitable tool.
3. Remove alternator pulley, using alternator pulley adaptor [SST].
INSPECTION
Rotor Check
1. Resistance test
Not within the specified values... Replace rotor.
2. Insulator test
Continuity exists... Replace rotor.
3. Check slip ring for wear.
Not within the specified values... Replace rotor.
Brush Check
1. Check smooth movement of brush.
Not smooth... Check brush holder and clean.
2. Check brush for wear.
Replace brush if it is worn down to the limit line.

Pulley Check (With Clutch Type)
1. Check for locking (Outer ring is turned counterclockwise when
viewed from the rear).
If it rotates in both directions... Replace pulley.
2. Check for dragging (Outer ring is turned clockwise when viewed
from the rear).
If it locks or unusual resistance is felt... Replace pulley.
Stator Check
1. Continuity test
No continuity... Replace stator.
2. Ground test
Continuity exists... Replace stator.
ASSEMBLY
Ring Fitting In Rear Bearing
Fix ring into groove in rear bearing so that it is as close to the adja-
cent area as possible.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse rear bearing after removal.
