    2. Check that the rotor is not grounded.
      1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the slip ring and rotor core.

        Standard: 10 k Ω or higher 

        If the result is not as specified, replace the rotor assy.

    3. Inspect the slip rings.
      1. Check that the slip rings are not rough or scored.

        If rough or scored, replace the rotor assy.

    4. Using a vernier caliper, measure the slip ring diameter.

      Diameter: 12.8 to 14.4 mm (0.504 to 0.567 in.) 

      If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the rotor assy.

      Exposed brush length: 1.5 to 11.5 mm (0.059 to 0.453 in.) 

      If the length is less than the minimum, replace the brush holder assy.
