13.
Pedal the cycle at a high RPM rate for 10-15 seconds or until you feel the resistance level change making it
harder to pedal. If no resistance is felt then the alternator has a problem.
14.
Test the diode. Unplug the diode from the FLD terminal of the alternator.
15.
Use a voltmeter, set to Ohms to test the diode. A good diode will show a high resistance reading in one direction
and a low resistance reading when the voltmeter leads are reversed.
16.
Reconnect the diode to the FLD terminal of the alternator.
17.
Reconnect the alternator wiring connector to the power control board.
18.
Test the load resistor. Unplug the load resistor from the power control board and locate pin 1 and pin 2 at the end
of the cable.
19.
Use a voltmeter, set to Ohms to test the load resistor for a correct reading of 1/2 Ohm between pins 1 and 2.
20.
Plug the load resistor back into the power control board.
21.
Check the main cable assembly for continuity and cross check each wire in the cable to check for shorted wires.
