Output Current Test: Result

  1. The ammeter reading must be higher than the limit value. See GENERATOR OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS  table. If it is lower, but generator output wire is in good condition, remove the generator from vehicle and test it.
    NOTE: The nominal output current value is shown on the nameplate affixed to generator body.
    The output current value changes with the electrical load and temperature of generator itself. therefore, nominal output current may not be obtained. If such is the case, keep headlights on to discharge battery. The nominal output current may not be obtained if temperature of generator itself or ambient temperature is too high. In such a case, reduce generator's temperature before testing again.
  2. Upon completion of output current test, lower engine speed to idle and turn off ignition switch.
  3. Disconnect battery ground cable.
  4. Remove ammeter, voltmeter and engine tachometer.
  5. Connect generator output wire to generator "B" terminal.
  6. Connect battery ground cable.
