ground from each terminal should be very high, 500,000 (500K) ohms minimum. If the resistance
reading is less than specified, the rectifier is grounded and should be replaced.
9. If using diode checker or a multi-meter with diode check functionality, read and understand the
instructions that accompany your test equipment.
10. Using the appropriate volt/ohmmeter, perform the tests outlined in Table F.3. See Figure F.12. See
Wiring Diagram.
11. If any tests fail, the output rectifier bridge may be faulty.
12. If faulty, perform the Output Rectifier Bridge Removal And Replacement Procedure.
13. When testing is complete, reconnect all previously disconnected leads to the output rectifier bridge.
14. Perform the Case Cover Replacement Procedure.
