2. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
4. Connect a clamp-type DC test ammeter with a
range of 0
− 120 A to the alternator "B" terminal
output wire.
NOTE: The way of disconnecting the alternator
output wire and of connecting the ammeter is pos
-
sibly not found the problem that the output current
is dropping due to the insufficient connection
between terminal "B" and the output wire.
5. Connect a digital-type voltmeter between the
alternator "B" terminal and the battery (+)
terminal. [Connect the (+) lead of the voltmeter to
the "B" terminal and the connect the (-) lead of the
voltmeter to the battery (+) cable].
6. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
7. Connect a tachometer or the M.U.T.-II/III (Refer to
GROUP 11A
− On-vehicle Service − Idle speed
check <4G1>
P.11A-11 or GROUP 11C −
On-vehicle Service − Idle speed check <4G6>
P.11C-11).
8. Leave the hood open.
9. Start the engine.
10.With the engine running at 2,500 r/min, turn the
headlamps and other lamps on and off to adjust
the alternator load so that the value displayed on
the ammeter is slightly above 30 A.
Adjust the engine speed by gradually decreasing
it until the value displayed on the ammeter is 30
A. Take a reading of the value displayed on the
voltmeter at this time.
Limit: maximum 0.3 V
NOTE: When the alternator output is high and the
value displayed on the ammeter does not
decrease until 30 A, set the value to 40 A. Read
the value displayed on the voltmeter at this time.
When the value range is 40 A, the limit is maxi
-
mum 0.4 V.
11.If the value displayed on the voltmeter is above
the limit value, there is probably a malfunction in
the alternator output wire, so check the wiring
between the alternator "B" terminal and the
battery (+) terminal (including fusible link).
If a terminal is not sufficiently tight or if the
harness has become discolored due to
overheating, repair and then test again.
12.After the test, run the engine at idle.
13.Turn off all lamps and the ignition switch.
14.Remove the tachometer or the M.U.T.-II/III.
15.Disconnect the negative battery cable.
16.Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
17.Connect the negative battery cable.

1.Befo re the t e st, always be sure t o che c k the
fo llowi ng.
•Alternator inst allatio n
•Battery (Refer to GROUP 54 A − Battery − On-vehi-
cle Serv ice P.54A-5).
NOTE: The battery sh ould be sligh t ly discharg ed.
The
load neede d by a fully-charge d batte ry is
in
sufficient for an accurat e test.
•Drive belt tension
(Ref er to GROUP 1 1 A − On-vehicle Service <4G1>
P.11A-7 or GROUP 1 1 C − On-vehicle Se rvice
<4G6> P.11C-7.)
•Fusible link
• Abnormal noise from the altern ator while the
eng

2.T u rn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
po sit i on.
3.Disco nnect the ne gative ba ttery cable.
CAUTION
Never use clips but tighten bolts and nuts to con-
nect the line. Otherwise loose connections (e.g.
using clips) will lead to a serious accident
because of high current.
4. Connect a clamp-type DC test ammeter with a
range of 0
− 120 A to the alternator "B" terminal
output wire.
NOTE: The way of disconnecting the alternator
output wire and of connecting the ammeter is pos
-
sibly not found the problem that the output current
is dropping due to the insufficient connection
between terminal "B" and the output wire.
5. Connect a voltmeter with a range of 0 − 20 V
between the alternator "B" terminal and the earth
[Connect the (+) lead of the voltmeter to the "B"
terminal, and then con nect the (-) lead of the
voltmeter to the earth].
6. Connect the negative battery cable.
7. Connect a tachometer or the M.U.T.-II/III (Refer to GROUP 11A
− On-vehicle Service − Idle speed
check <4G1>
P.11A-11 or GROUP 11C −
On-vehicle Service − Idle speed check <4G6>
P.11C-11).
8. Leave the hood open.

9. Check that the reading on the voltmeter is equal
to the battery voltage.
NOTE: If the voltage is 0 V, the cause is probably
an open circuit in the wire or fusible link between
the alternator "B" terminal and the battery (+) ter
-
minal.
10.Turn the light switch on to turn on headlamps and
then start the engine.
11.Immediately after setting the headlamps to high
beam and turning the heater blower switch to the
high revolution position, increase the engine
speed to 2,500 r/min and read the maximum
current output value displayed on the ammeter.
Limit: 70 % of normal current output
NOTE: .
•For the nominal current output, refer to the
Alternator Specifications.
•Because the current from the battery will soon
drop after the engine is started, the above step
should be carried out as quickly as possible in
order to obtain the maximum current output
value.
•The current output value will depend on the
electrical load and the temperature of the
alternator body.
•If the electrical load is small while testing, the
specified level of current may not be output
even though the alternator is normal. In such
cases, increase the electrical load by leaving
the headlamps turned on for some time to dis
-
charge the battery or by using the lighting sys-
tem in another vehicle, and then test again.
•The specified level of current also may not be
output if the temperature of the alternator body
or the ambient temperature is too high. In such
cases, cool the alternator and then test again.
12.The reading on the ammeter should be above the
limit value. If the reading is below the limit value
and the alternator output wire is normal, remove
the alternator from the engine and check the
alternator.
13.Run the engine at idle after the test.
14.Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
15.Remove the tachometer or the M.U.T.-II/III.
16.Disconnect the negative battery cable.
17.Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
18.Connect the negative battery cable.
