AC REGULATOR INSPECTION
After checking that all connections are correct and secure.
inspect the alternator unit by measuring the resistance
between the terminals. (Refer t o the Model Specific manual
for service data.)
NOTE
The resistance readings will not be accurate if the probes
touch your fingers.
Use one of the following recommended multimeters.
.
Other testers may not allow you to obtain the specified
values. This is due to the characteristic of semicon-
ductors, which have different resistance values depen-
ding on the applied voltage.
SPECIFIC MULTIMETERS

An old, weak multimeter battery could cause inaccurate
readings. Check the battery if the multimeter registers
incorrectly
When using the Kowa rnultimeter, remember that all
readings should be multiplied by 100
