• The nominal output current value is shown on the nameplate affixed to the generator body.
• The output current value changes with the electrical load and the temperature of the generator itself. Therefore, the
nominal output current may not be obtained. If such is the case, keep the headlights on to cause discharge of the
battery.
The nominal output current may not be obtained if the temperature of the generator itself or ambient temperature is
too high.
In such a case, reduce the temperature before testing again.
2. Upon completion of the output current test, lower the engine speed to idle and turn off the ignition switch.
3. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
4. Remove the ammeter and voltmeter and the engine tachometer.
5. Connect the generator output wire to the generator "B" terminal.
6. Connect the battery ground cable.
PREPARATION
1. Prior to the test, check the following items and correct if necessary.
Check that the battery installed in the vehicle is fully charged. For battery checking method, see "BATTERY".
Check the generator drive belt tension. For belt tension check, see "COOLING" section.
2. Turn ignition switch to "OFF".
3. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
4. Connect a digital voltmeter between the "B" terminal of the generator and ground. Connect the (+) lead of the voltmeter to
the "B" terminal of the generator. Connect the (-) lead to good ground or the battery (-) terminal.
5. Disconnect the generator output wire from the generator "B" terminal.
6. Connect a DC ammeter (0 to 150A) in series between the "B" terminal and the disconnected output wire. Connect the (-)
lead wire of the ammeter to the disconnected output wire.
7. Attach the engine tachometer and connect the battery ground cable.
TEST
1. Turn on the ignition switch and check to see that the voltmeter indicates the following value.
Battery voltage
