2.6 Inspecting and repairing alternator
2.6.1
Inspecting rectifier
Check that diodes in a rectifier function properly. To check,
measure both negative (-) and positive (+) resistance
alternately twice. If both infinite negative and infinite
positive resistances are observed, the diode is open-
circuited. If measured value is close to 0
Ω
, the diode is
short-circuited. In either case, replace the rectifier with a
new one.
Note: Use a wide measuring range as much as possible. The
current flow during test is significantly lower than the
current that normally flows in the rectifier, by which
the accurate resistance may not be measured using a
tester, and this tendency is noticeable if the measuring
range is small.

2.6.2
Inspecting rotor assembly
(1)
Measure the resistance between the slip rings (rotor
coil).
If measured value is out of standard, replace the rotor
assembly with a new one.
(2)
Check that there is continuity between the slip ring and
the shaft (or core).
If continuity is observed, replace the rotor assembly
with a new one.
