Bench Testing: Stator
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2000 Lexus SC 400, 2000 Lexus SC 300, 2000 Lexus RX 300, 2000 Lexus LS 400, and 2000 Lexus GS 400. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Using ohmmeter, check continuity between stator leads. Continuity should exist between all stator leads. Check continuity between stator lead and generator housing. Continuity should not exist. If continuity is not as specified, replace stator.
