Regulator/Rectifier Inspection; Leak Test - Honda Motorcycle Service Manual

BATTERlESlCHARGlNGlLlGHTlNG SYSTEM
LEAK TEST
Turn off the ignition switch, and disconnect the ground
(4
cable from the batten/.
Connect an ammeter between the negative
(-1
terminal and
ground cable.
With the ignition switch off, measure the current leakage.
NOTE
-
.
When measuring current using a tester, set it t o a high
range initially and then lower the range setting to an
appropriate level. Current flow larger than the range
selected may blow out the fuse in the tester.
-
The ignition switch must be off during the leakage
inspection. A sudden surge of current may blow out the
fuse in the tester.
If current leakage exceeds the standard value, there is
probably a short circuit in the system.
Locate the short by disconnecting connections one by one
and measuring the current.
REGULATOR/RECTIFIER INSPECTION
Use the troubleshooting chart to make a preliminary diagnosis
of the service problem.
Since the regulatorlrectifier is an electrical component which
uses semiconductors, can not be serviced. Instead, the unit
connectors are checked.
Inspect the regulatorlrectifier at the terminals of each
connector.
